​

EASTER.
Let me arise, O Savior,
 As Thou arisen art,
And let me plead Thy favor
 For this my waiting heart.

From out this worldly prison,
 Its care and sin set free,
In the sweet Christ arisen
 My soul at peace would be.

Oh let me feel Thee guiding,
 And help me to press on,
With faith in thee confiding
 Until the end be won.

And when for me at even
 The curtains shall be drawn
O grant that in Thy Heaven
 I greet an Easter morn!
