On Easter-Day
From Mid-night and Daily Thoughts (1694)
Religion
Look, look, rejoice and wonder! see, O see!
The Lord is risen! by whose Spirit we
Must rise and find our souls, more int'rest have
In this his Resurrection than his Grave.
Though we attend at Golgotha, there fall
With our High-Priest, who was Aaronical;
On this Day let new Vows our Hearts new deck,
That we may rise with our Melchisedeck;
Whose Blessing shews that we more int'rest have
In this his Resurrection than his Grave.
