The Day of Resurrection

1Peter 1:3 

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead" 

"Thou art the Way: to Thee alone

From sin and death we flee;

And he who would the Father seek, 

Must seek Him, Lord, by Thee. 

Thou art the Truth: Thy word alone

True wisdom can impart;

Thou only cast instruct the mind, 

And purify the heart. 

Thou art the Life: the rending tomb

Proclaims Thy conquering arm;

And those who put their trust in Thee

Nor death nor hell shall harm."

George W. Doane
