RESURRECTION OF CHRIST.

By Thomas Brown

He rose! O morn of wonder! They saw His sun go down, Whose hate had crushed him under, A King without a crown. No plume, no garland, wore He; Despised Death's Victor lay; And wrapped in night His glory, That claimed a grander day.

He rose! What splendor breaking On sorrow's midnight hour! 'Twas life divine, the waking Of Jesus' slumbering power. 'Twas love, His promise keeping, That triumphed o'er the grave; He would not leave them weeping Whose souls He came to save.

—Thomas Brown.
