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.
