EASTER by ANONYMOUS

First Line: "SING, SOUL OF MINE, THIS DAY OF DAYS"
Last Line: BECAUSE THE LORD IS RISEN
Subject(s): EASTER;HOLIDAYS; THE RESURRECTION;
Sing, soul of mine, this day of days.
The Lord is risen.
Toward the sunrising set thy face.
The Lord is risen.
Behold he giveth strength and grace;
For darkness, light; for mourning, praise;
For sin, his holiness; for conflict, peace.

Arise, O soul, this Easter Day!
Forget the tomb of yesterday,
For thou from bondage art set free;
Thou sharest in his victory
And life eternal is for thee,
Because the Lord is risen.
