THE LORD'S DAY.
This is the day when Jesus woke
From the deep slumbers of the tomb:
This is the day the Saviour broke
The bonds of fear and hopeless gloom.
From the deep slumbers of the tomb:
This is the day the Saviour broke
The bonds of fear and hopeless gloom.
This is indeed a holy day:
No longer may we dread to die:
Let every fear be cast away,
And tears be wiped from every eye.
No longer may we dread to die:
Let every fear be cast away,
And tears be wiped from every eye.
Sorrow and pain the Saviour knew;
A dark and thorny path he trod;
But heaven was ever in his view:
That toilsome path led up to God.
A dark and thorny path he trod;
But heaven was ever in his view:
That toilsome path led up to God.
Let every heart rejoice and sing;
Let every sin and sorrow cease;
Let children come this day and bring
Their offering of love and peace.
Let every sin and sorrow cease;
Let children come this day and bring
Their offering of love and peace.
