HYMN 102. (L. M.) A happy Resurrection.
I
No, I'll repine at death no more,But with a cheerful gasp resign
To the cold dungeon of the grave
These dying withering limbs of mine.
II
Let worms devour my wasting flesh,And crumble all my bones to dust,
My God shall raise my frame anew
At the revival of the just.
III
Break, sacred morning, thro' the skies,Bring that delightful, dreadful day,
Cut short the hours, dear Lord, and come,
Thy lingering wheels, how long they stay!
328
IV
Our weary spirits faint to seeThe light of thy returning face,
And hear the language of those lips
Where God has shed his richest grace.
V
Haste then upon the wings of love,Rouse all the pious sleeping clay,
That we may join in heavenly joys,
And sing the triumph of the day.
