Resurrection
What once was gone
shall now live on
exceeding earth
above all birth
surpassing death
beyond all breath
surviving night
with lasting light:
the Sun does rise
before our eyes
as clouds depart
and we take heart.
Let us rejoice
in deed and voice
embracing day:
begin to pray
through faith to be
and hope to see
with gratitude
your world renewed.
