THE RESURRECTION LIGHT.

He comes not asking for a tomb, —
A sweeter boon may love supply ;
The Lord is risen ! He seeks a home,
A human soul to occupy.

Far holier than the hallowed place
Where once in death the Saviour lay,
Is every heart made pure by grace
To entertain the Lord to-day.

What need to seek Him 'midst the dead?
Behold! within the sacred walls
With us He sits, and breaks the bread;
On us His benediction falls; —

“Peace!” Let Thy peace, O Friend divine,
Abide with us by day, by night,
Till the eternal morning shine
From Thee, the Resurrection Light.
