|
<p>Awake, glad soul! awake! awake!<br>
|
|
Thy Lord has risen long;<br>
|
|
Go to His grave, and with thee take<br>
|
|
Both tuneful heart and song.</p>
|
|
<p>Where life is waking all around,<br>
|
|
Where love’s sweet voices sing,<br>
|
|
The first bright blossom may be found<br>
|
|
Of an eternal spring.</p>
|
|
<p>The shade and gloom of life are fled<br>
|
|
This resurrection day;<br>
|
|
Henceforth in Christ are no more dead,<br>
|
|
The grave hath no more prey.</p>
|
|
<p>In Christ we live, in Christ we sleep,<br>
|
|
In Christ we wake and rise,<br>
|
|
And the sad tears death makes us weep,<br>
|
|
He wipes from all our eyes.</p>
|
|
<p>And every bird and every tree,<br>
|
|
And every opening flower,<br>
|
|
Proclaim His glorious victory,<br>
|
|
His resurrection power.</p>
|
|
<p>The folds are glad, the fields rejoice,<br>
|
|
With vernal verdure spread,<br>
|
|
The little hills lift up their voice<br>
|
|
And shout that death is dead.</p>
|
|
<p>Then wake, glad heart! awake! awake<br>
|
|
And seek Thy risen Lord;<br>
|
|
Joy in His resurrection take,<br>
|
|
And comfort in His Word.</p>
|
|
<p>And let thy life, through all its ways,<br>
|
|
One long thanksgiving be:<br>
|
|
Its theme of joy, its song of praise—<br>
|
|
Christ died, and rose for me.</p>
