To be for such a slumber meet;
With holy confidence to sing
That death hath lost its painful sting.

Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Saviour's power.
4 Asleep in Jesus! Oh, for me
May such a blissful refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
Waiting the summons from on high.

From which none ever wakes to weep.

Where loveliest flowers abound;
Since Christ, our never-fading life,
Sprang from that holy ground.

That we, O Lord, may have
A holy, happy rest in Thee,
A Sabbath in the grave.
3 Thou, Lord, baptized in Thine own blood,
And buried in the grave,
Didst raise Thyself to endless life,
Omnipotent to save.
4 Baptized into Thy death we died,
And buried were with Thee,
That we might live with Thee to God,
And ever blest might be.
5 Lord, through the grave and gate of death
May we, with Thee, arise
To an eternal Easter-Day,
Of glory in the skies.
Amen.

On the resurrection morning
Author: S. Baring-Gould Hymnal: The Church Hymnal #243a (1898) Meter: 8.7.8.3 Topics: Burial of the Dead; Burial of the Dead; Burial of the Dead Lyrics: 1 On the resurrection morning
Soul and body meet again;
No more sorrow, no more weeping,
No more pain.

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.

Now Thy little lamb's brief weeping:
Ah, how peaceful, pale, and mild
In its narrow bed 'tis sleeping!
And no sign of anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more.

Lord, Thou wouldst no longer leave it;
To the sunny heavenly plain
Thou dost now with joy receive it;
Clothed in robes of spotless white,
Now it dwells with Thee in light.
3 Ah, Lord Jesus, grant that we
Where it lives may soon be living,
And the lovely pastures see
That its heavenly food are giving;
Then the gain of death we prove,
Though Thou take what most we love.

And hope and joy and peace begin,
For Christ has won, and man shall win.

And lead through death to realms of light;
We safely pass where Thou hast trod;
In Thee we die to rise to God.

Glad Alleluias raise to Thee;
And ever with the heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Sing the resurrection song!

To the "former days" belong.

Soon the night of time shall cease,
And, in God's own likeness waking,
Man shall know eternal peace.

All that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts, for ages pleading,
Never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
There on high our welcome waits;
Every humble spirit shares it;
Christ has passed the eternal gates.

Jesus lives Who once was dead;
Join, O man, the deathless voices;
Child of God lift up thy head.
Patriarchs from distant ages,
Saints all longing for their heaven,
Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
All await the glory given.
4 "Life eternal!" Oh, what wonders
Crowd on faith--what joy unknown,
When, amidst earth's closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne!
Oh! to enter that bright portal,
See that glowing firmament,
Know, with Thee, O God immortal,
"Jesus Christ, Whom Thou hast sent!"
Amen.

There the work of life is tried
By a juster Judge than here.

To the cross their dying eyes,
All the love of Jesus learn
At His feet in Paradise.

Can prevail to mar their peace;
Christ the Lord shall guard them well,
He Who died for their release.

Calmly now the words we say;
Left behind, we wait in trust
For the resurrection-day.

Leave we now Thy servant sleeping.
