Chapter 57
The Resurrection
Will my complexion e'er come back-
My cheeks with health aglow?
Will I be young, and handsome, too,
As I was long ago?
Yes, on Resurrection Day.
Will all my members be restored
From death's dark prison cell;
And I in virtue stand complete,
Like man before he fell?
Yes, on Resurrection Day.
Will all my loved ones e'er come back,
Who're now beneath the sod;
Who left me weeping long ago
And went to meet their God?
Yes, on Resurrection Day.
And shall I know them all again,
As when they went away;
And will they love and talk with me
As on their dying day?
Yes, on Resurrection Day.
And shall I be from sorrow free,
And all of sin's bequest?
And will I ever reach a clime
Unknown by "Reaper Death"?
Yes, on Resurrection Day.
And will my soul, and body too,
Go up with angel flight,
To see my Savior face to face
And dwell with Him in Light?
Yes, on Resurrection Day.
