RESURRECTION. 9,6,5,7,4 "This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." -- 1 Cor.15:58. "Auferstehn, ja auferstehn." [55]Klopstock. transl., Jane Borthwick, 1855 Thou shalt rise! my dust, thou shalt arise! Not always closed thine eyes; Thy life's first Giver Will give thee life for ever. Ah! praise His name! Sown in darkness, but to bloom again. When, after winter's reign, Jesus is reaping The seed now quietly sleeping. Ah! praise His name! Day of praise! for thee, thou wondrous day, In my quiet grave I stay; And when I number My days and nights of slumber, Thou wakest me! Then, as they who dream, we shall arise With Jesus to the skies, And find that morrow The weary pilgrim's sorrow All past and gone! Then, with the Holiest I tread, By my Redeemer led, Through Heaven soaring, His holy name adoring Eternally! |
