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 sunSee rising on the earth, we'll lift our thoughtTo 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!

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!
