On the resurrection morning
Author: S. Baring-Gould Meter: 8.7.8.3 Appears in 75 hymnals Lyrics: 1 On the resurrection morning
Soul and body meet again;
No more sorrow, no more weeping,
No more pain.
2 Here awhile they must be parted,
And the flesh its sabbath keep,
Waiting in a holy stillness,
Wrapt in sleep.
3 For a space that tired body
Lies with feet toward the dawn;
Till there breaks the last and brightest
Easter morn.
4 But the soul in contemplation
Utters earnest prayers and strong;
Breaking at the resurrection
Into song.
5 Soul and body reunited,
Thenceforth nothing will divide,
Waking up in Christ's own likeness,
Satisfied.
6 Oh, the beauty, oh, the gladness
Of that resurrection-day!
Which shall not through endless ages,
Pass away!
7 On that happy Easter morning
All the graves their dead restore,
Father, sister, child and mother,
Meet once more.
8 To that brightest of all meetings,
Bring us, Jesus Christ, at last;
To Thy cross, through death and judgment,
Holding fast.
Amen.

On the resurrection morning
Comes Mary to the grave
Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Meter: 6.7.7.11 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Comes Mary to the grave:
no singing bird has spoken,
nor has the world awoken,
and in her grief all love lies lost and broken.
2 Says Jesus at her side,
no longer Jesus dying,
'Why, Mary, are you crying?'
She turns, with joy, 'My Lord! my love!' replying.
3 With Mary on this day
we join our voices praising
the God of Jesus' raising,
and sing the triumph of his love amazing. Topics: Easter The Resurrection of Christ; Easter 1 The Upper Room; Easter 3 The Resurrection and the Life; God, Saviour Risen and Victorious Scripture: John 20:1-18 Used With Tune: EASTER MORNING
