RCCG Hymn 164
On the Resurrection Morning
"So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown corruption; it is raised in incorruption." - 1 Cor 15:42
On the resurrection morning Soul and body meet again; No more sorrow, no more weeping No more pain!
Here a while they must be parted, And the flesh its Sabbath keep, Waiting in a holy stillness, Wrapt in sleep.
For a while the tired body To its resting-place its borne Till there dawns the last and brightest Easter morn.
But the soul in contemplation Utters earnest prayer and strong, Breaking at the resurrection Into song.
Soul and body reunited Thenceforth nothing shall divide Waking up in Christ's own likeness, Satisfied.
Oh! the beauty, oh! the gladness Of that resurrection day Which shall not through endless ages Pass away!
Oh that happy easter morning All graves their dead restore; Father, mother, child, and brethen Meet once more.
To that brightest of all meetings Bring us, Jesus Christ, at last; To Thy cross, through death and judgement, Holding fast.
