Awake my heart with gladness,
 |
| O Blessed Spring! He is risen! |
See what today is done;
Now, after gloom and sadness,
Comes forth the glorious sun.
My Savior there was laid
Where our beds must be made
When to the realms of light
Our spirit wings its flight
Now I will cling forever
To Christ, my Savior true;
My Lord will leave me never,
Whate'er He passes through.
He rends death's iron chain;
He breaks through sin and pain;
He shatters hell's grim thrall;
I follow Him through all.
(Awake, My Heart, with Gladness, Paul Gerhardt)
