Verse 1
And are you sleeping still, my love?
The sun is on the rise
A gentle west wind lifts the leaves
And songbirds fill the skies
Verse 2
I closed my eyes in sorrow love
My heart as cold as stone
And thought, as darkness covered me
That I would lie alone
Verse 3
But you were not alone, my love
Your weariness was mine
I brought a light into the dark
That you might see it shine
Verse 4
I closed my eyes in weariness
I closed my eyes in pain
And nеver thought I should be called
To opеn them again
Verse 5
I too endured the deadly cold
That chilled us to the bone
That I might warm the sepulchre
And roll away the stone
Verse 6
Awaken now to life, my love
Arise alive and free
Shake off the sleep of death, my love
And come away with me
Verse 7
And she has risen from her bed
And held her arms out wide
And touched his wounded hands and heart
And gone to be his bride
