Hymn 318 – ON the resurrection morning | C&S English Hymnary

1. ON the resurrection morning Soul and body meet again No more sorrow, no more weeping No more pain. 2. Here awhile they must be parted And the flesh its Sabbath keep Waiting in a holy stillness warped in sleep. 3. For awhile the tired body To its resting-place is borne Till there dawns the last and Brightest Easter morn. 4. But the soul in contemplation Utters earnest prayer and strong Breaking at the resurrection Into song. 5. Soul and body re-united Thenceforth nothing shall divide Walking up in Christ’s own likeness Satisfied. 6. Oh the beauty, oh the gladness Of that resurrection day Which shall not through endless ages Pass away! 7. Oh that happy Easter morning All the graves their dead restore Father, Mother, Child and brethren Meet once more. 8. To the brightest of all meeting: Bring us, Jesus Christ, at last To thy cross, through death and Judgment Holding fast AMEN
