28. CHRIST'S RESURRECTION.

Welcome, O Day, in dazzling glory bright,

Emblem of yet another day most blest,

When all Christ's friends with him in heav'n shall rest;

For on this day, in his recover'd might,

The sleeper wak'd to see this morning's light;—

"The Son of God!" glad angel-hosts attest:

So, when alive, most fully shown, confest,

For on this day he took his heav'n-ward flight.

When therefore our glad eyes this morning's sun

See rising on the earth, we'll lift our thought

To Him, who by his death our life hath bought,

And victor-king for us a crown hath won.

It e'er shall be a day of sweetest joy,

Till we shall see our Lord in yonder sky!
