498 The Resurrection Day

Tune: John T. Hocutt, 1959

Words:

Meter: 6s,10s (6,10,6,10)

Oh, Resurrection Day!
When Christ the Savior comes some morning fair,
The grave will open wide
And saints will rise to meet Him in the air.

Chorus:

Oh! May we meet in heav’n
To sing the praises of our Lord and King,
And gathered ’round the snow-white throne
Make heaven’s portals ring.
