The Resurrection.

"I AM the resurrection and the life." John 11:25.
One by one Thou callest, With Thy mighty word; One by one they leave us At Thy bidding, Lord.
Childhood in its brightness, Manhood in its prime, Hoary age—all passing Off the stage of time.
Friends, long-lov'd and cherish'd To our hearts most dear! Nay, you are not perish'd, Though no longer here.
Though Death seems to triumph, Yet the coming morn, Which your Lord has promis'd, Gives no hope forlorn.
Christ has gain'd the vict'ry, Christ who came to save; Christ, the Resurrection, Triumph'd o'er the grave.
Children of one Father, By his love made one, With the glorious Saviour— Our Saviour and his Son;
You shall share his glory, When your short sleep o'er, Raised in incorruption, You live for evermore;
Evermore behold him With the ransom'd throng; Ever love and serve him, Ever join the song—
"To him who lov'd and sav'd us, Be pow'r and glory given, Who by his blood redeem'd us, Be praise in highest heaven!"
