An Easter Gift, hopefully not an egg.

My Easter gift to you...

 

Eternal Day

 

Look not with grief upon this place

Remove the sadness from thy face.

Cheer up your hearts, rejoice this day

The stone has now been rolled away.

 

Two angels stand, to this they bare

The risen Lord, He is not there.

He lives! To this the song we sing.

Indeed, Oh death where is thy sting?


The battle fought, the battle won!

Behold our Lord, behold His Son.

See him walk beside the sea

That we of men, may fishers be.

 

The empty tomb before us stands

Life evermore, now come to man.

For every soul who’ll thus obey,

The breaking dawn of eternal day.

 

With fervent voice we must proclaim

The risen Lord, in joyous strain.

Our voices one now hear us sing

To our “Savior, God and King”.

 

Did not our hearts within us burn

When of his love we first did learn?

That he for us would bleed and die

Oh precious gift for such as I.

 

From heaven’s gate, to mortal womb

From open grave, to empty tomb.

Once bound with chain to the earth

Now in death we find new birth.

 

With God and angels we shall dwell

We’ll sing this chorus, “All is Well”.

Praise his name and honor give

That we with Him will someday live.

 

In wilderness we shall not roam

The guide has come to lead us home.

His blood now split to mark the way

The breaking dawn of eternal day.
