The Easter Light

Author: Howard A. Walter Meter: 8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Still are there love-drawn souls today Lyrics: 1 Still are there love-drawn souls today Who seek the tomb where Jesus lay And find the stone is rolled away. 2 They peer within the ghostly gloom; No spiritual lights illume, They only see the empty tomb. 3 To them no angel forms appear, No voice is sounding in their ear, "The Lord is ris’n. He is not here." 4 From piteous eyes the quick tears start, Then, musing o’er the thievish art That stole their Lord, they slow depart. 5 They bow bereaved beneath the cross, They mourn the world’s unmeasured loss, And hold all heav’nward hope but dross. 6 Oh, foolish hearts and slow of sight, Who watch and wait in Calvary’s night, Will ye not see the Easter light?

From 1852 to 1855 he held a fellowship at Brasenose, Oxford, and was also Bampton Lecturer in 1873, his subject being The Characteristics of Christian Morality. In 1870 he became Prebendary of Pratum Minus in Hereford Cathedral, in 1882 Bural Dean of Powick, and examining Chaplain to the Bishop of St. David's, and in 1887 Hon. Canon of Worcester. Prebendary Smith has published, in addition to his Bampton Lectures, an Epitome of the Life of Our Blessed Saviour, &c, Fra Angelica and other Poems, and other works. He has also contributed hymns to the collection of which he was co-editor, and to the Rev. O. Shipley's Lyras. In preparing A Hymn Book for the Services of the Church, and for Private Heading, London, Parker, 1855, 2nd ed., 1857, he was assisted by his brother John George Smith, Barrister-at-Law, and the Rev. W. S. Raymond. To this collection Canon Smith contributed: 1. By Jesu's grave on either hand. Easter Eve. 2. The tide of years [time] is rolling on.

The day-beam dies Behind yon cloud. Winter Evening. There is also in Pt. ii.

G., p. 1062, ii. Dr. Smith corrects the note on "Comes at times a stillness as of even," and says respecting it:— "In 1857, so far as I can tell, I wrote 'Comes at times,' and the interval was very short between the last part and the first. It was not written for the Prince Consort's memorial.nor for any occasion— July26, 1905." --John Julian, Dictionary of Hymnology, New Supplement (1907)
