Because I live ye shall live also	A
	-
Calmly the Paschal moonlight now is sleeping	B
On mossy hillock and on headstone grey	C
Where still our Mother holds in faithful keeping	B
Such as while living in her dear arms lay	C
Ah loving and beloved we know ye rest	D
E'en in the grave upon her hallow'd breast	D
	-
Where is the cumbrous robe the flesh the matter	E
Which held the spirit in such painful thrall	F
A little dust that scarce a breath would scatter	E
Darkness and void and silence this seems all	F
Yet somewhere safe the waiting body lies	G
While the freed spirit is in Paradise	H
	-
Ah in that day when earth is all refin d	I
From death and sin the darkness and the stain	J
When Eden's perfect beauty is enshrin d	I
In unmarred purity and light again	K
Transfigured and exceeding white as snow	A
But still that body it will rise we know	A
	-
The self same lips that hymn'd the Easter story	I
With heart of Easter gladness here may sing	B
The song of angels in the angels' glory	I
Around the throne of our Almighty King	B
The same feet which this ancient pavement trod	L
May walk for aye the temple courts of God	L
	-
O blessed day which saw the Saviour risen	M
Which told to trembling man that wondrous news	N
The grave is not thy body's endless prison	M
Thy soul no more in vain for pardon sues	N
From Adam's curse by Christ's death thou art free	I
The Lord accepts this sacrifice for thee	I
	-
Peace be with you by Him those words were spoken	M
After the glorious victory was won	M
After the angel gave that blessed token	M
To her whose favour'd lips had called him Son	M
Ah where were peace if every trembling breath	O
Strengthen'd the fetters of an endless death	O
	-
Where were the peace if that dark cloud of mourning	B
From Calvary's hill had never pass'd away	C
If our deep night had never known the dawning	B
Of that mysterious Resurrection day	C
O Christ our Lord Thou didst indeed release	P
Thy sinful children and didst give them peace	P
	-
And now we know that Thou art throned for ever	E
True God and yet true man in heaven above	Q
That now no power our life from Thine can sever	E
That naught shall rob us of Thy gift of love	Q
That Thou within the veil dost intercede	R
For all who suffer and for all in need	R
	-
That Thou art with us here too in our sorrow	A
With us to help in every time of strife	S
Dost give to each dark day its joyous morrow	A
Dost make us strong with Thine own love and life	S
And we may love and we may come to Thee	I
In heaven and share Thy great felicity	I
	-
Ay when the grass upon our grave is sighing	B
In the cool wind and Easter moonlight fair	T
The mortal dust beneath the violets lying	B
Shall rest in hope and rest in safety there	T
Till Thou shalt come with Thy celestial train	J
And our bright spirit take its own again	K
	-
After Thy likeness in its sweet perfection	M
Shall we awake in that eternal day	C
All save the sin shall have its resurrection	M
Clothed in Thy glorious immortality	I
And we shall stand Thy radiant throne beside	U
Blessed for evermore and satisfied	U
