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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EASTER EVE by FRANCIS WILLIAM BOURDILLON EASTER SUNDAY by LUCILLE CLIFTON GOD SEND EASTER by LUCILLE CLIFTON NOT THE CUCKOLD'S DREAM; FOR SAM PEREIRA by NORMAN DUBIE EASTER HYMN by GEORGE SANTAYANA I DEFINE THE DARKNESS CORRECT: THE FESTIVAL OF THE FRERES LUMIERES by ELENI SIKELIANOS SPANISH EASTER: 1926 by CONRAD AIKEN TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
