First Line: Since first the stone was rolled away
Last Line: Forevermore at home with thee!
Subject(s): Jesus Christ
Since first the stone was rolled away
There never dawned an Easter Day
Like this! Although death rides the sky
Until the dead in windrows lie
On sodden meadows drenched with blood,
Yet faith has heard a word from God,
"Look up! Behold, He comes again,
That One whose right it is to reign!"
O risen Lord, to Thee we pray
That on this Resurrection Day
Thy hand will part the shrouding skies
Which hide Thy face, and we shall rise,
With our beloved dead, to be
Forevermore at home with Thee!
