9872. Easter Day Hath Dawned Again

1 Easter day hath dawned again,
Past the night of grief and pain,
Vain the guard, the tomb in vain,
To hold our buried Jesus!

2 Faithful hearts their watch have kept,
Loving eyes have mourned and wept,
Where, it seemed, He lately slept,
So still and silent, Jesus!

3 Now, all tears have passed away,
With the early morning ray;
From the grave, where once He lay,
There hath arisen Jesus!

4 Risen, He hath worshipped been
By repentant Magdalene,
And by Simon hath been seen,
Our all-triumphant Jesus!

5 On this blessèd eventide,
Two there were He walked beside,
And they prayed—"With us abide!"
Although they knew not Jesus!

6 Jesu, Lord! I pray to Thee,
Though Thy face not yet I see,
Evermore abide with me—
My Lord—my God—my Jesus!
