Risen for Me

There’s a song on my lips

There’s a song in my soul

Tho’ the waves of dis­tress

Deeply round me may roll;

For I know whom I trust

Tho’ the way may be dim

I shall safe­ly go home

If I cling close to Him.

I will not be afraid

When the dark grave I see

For my Sav­ior has died

And has ris­en for me.

There’s a light in my sky

Since the break­ing of day

When the seal rent in twain

And the stone rolled away;

For an an­gel spoke peace

To my spir­it’s alarm:

He is ris­en for thee;

There is no­thing to harm.

There is joy in my heart

All the long

wea­ry day

For the storm ov­er­past

And the clouds rolled away;

There’s a rose for each thorn

And a gain for each loss

Since my Sav­ior Him­self

Gained a crown by the cross.
