In an old book my father gave me,
The Great Hereafter or Glimpses of the Coming World (published in 1897), I found this verse from Charles Wesley (page 465) along with the etching below (page 361) which both give me hope in Jesus Christ of his resurrection and the resurrection of us all:
I feel a strong immortal "hope,"
Which bears my mournful spirit up
Beneath its mountain-load:
Redeemed from death, and grief, and pain,
I soon shall find my friend again
Within the arms of God.
The etching is titled THE THREE MARYS AT THE GRAVE. "HE IS NOT HERE, BUT IS RISEN."
