Easter Day Hath Dawned Again

Easter day hath dawned again

Past the night of grief and pain

Vain the guard

the tomb in vain

To hold our bur­ied Je­sus!

Faithful hearts their watch have kept

Loving eyes have mourned and wept

Where

it seemed

He late­ly slept

So still and si­lent

Je­sus!

Now

all tears have passed away

With the ear­ly morn­ing ray;

From the grave

where once He lay

There hath aris­en Je­sus!

Risen

He hath wor­shiped been

By re­pent­ant Mag­da­lene

And by Si­mon hath been seen

Our all-tri­umph­ant Je­sus!

On this bless­èd ev­en­tide

Two there were He walked be­side

And they prayed—With us ab­ide!

Although they knew not Je­sus!

Jesu

Lord! I pray to Thee

Though Thy face not yet I see

Evermore ab­ide with me—

My Lord—my God—my Je­sus!
