Rise again! yes, rise again wilt thou

The following hymn is very commonly used at funerals or at Easter services:--

THE RESURRECTION.

Rise again! yes, rise again wilt thou My dust, though buried now! To life immortal Is this brief rest the portal: Hallelujah!

For the seed is sown again to bloom Whene'er the Lord shall come, His harvest reaping In us who now are sleeping: Hallelujah!

Day of praise, of joyful tears the Day, Thou of my God the Day, When I shall number My destined years of slumber, Thou wakenest me!

Then shall we be like to those that dream, When on us breaks the beam Of that blest morrow; The weary pilgrim's sorrow Is then no more.
