If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. (1 Cor. 15:19‑21)
The joy of those who hear
Beyond all doubt and fear,
Through jarring echoes of discordant strife,
That one voice sounding clear —
“I am the resurrection and the life;
They who believe on Me
From death’s dark thrall I free;
I drank that bitter cup; I passed that
      gloomy door;
Through that lone valley I have gone
      before;
Because I live, they live forevermore”;
   This joy be thine.
