EN 4045 In Thy Glorious Resurrection

Luke.24.27

Versi Version 1

1

In Thy glorious resurrection,

Lord, we see a world’s erection,

Man in Thee is glorified.

Bliss, for which the patriarchs panted,

Joys, by holy psalmists chanted,

Now in Thee are verified.

2

Oracles of former ages,

Veiled in dim prophetic pages,

Now lie open to the sight;

Now the types, which glimmered darkling

In the twilight gloom, are sparkling,

In the blaze of noonday light.

3

Isaac from the wood is risen;

Joseph issues from the prison;

See the Paschal Lamb which saves;

Israel through the sea is landed,

Pharaoh and his hosts are stranded,

And o’erwhelmed in the waves.

4

See the cloudy pillar leading,

Rock refreshing, manna feeding;

Joshua fights and Moses prays;

See the lifted wave-sheaf, cheering

Pledge of harvest-fruits appearing,

Joyful dawn of happy days.

5

Samson see at night uptearing

Gaza’s brazen gates, and bearing

To the top of Hebron’s hill;

Jonah comes from stormy surges,

From his three-days’ grave emerges,

Bids beware of coming ill.

6

So Thy resurrection’s glory

Sheds a light on ancient story;

And it casts a forward ray,

Beacon light of solemn warning,

To the dawn of that great morning

Ushering in the judgment day.

7

Ever since Thy death and rising

Thou the nations art baptizing

In Thy death’s similitude;

Dead to sin, and ever dying,

And our members mortifying,

May we walk with life renewed!

8

Forth from Thy first Easter going,

Sundays are for ever flowing

Onward to a boundless sea;

Lord, may they for Thee prepare us,

On a holy river bear us

To a calm eternity!
