11To the holy Saviour’s tomb,Mary to her Saviour’s tomb
22Hasted they at early dawn;Hasted at the early dawn;
33Spice they brought and sweet perfume;Spice she brought, and sweet perfume;
44But the Lord they loved had gone.But the Lord she lov'd was gone.
55Trembling while a crystal floodFor a while she weeping stood,
66Issued from their weeping eyes,Struck with sorrow and surprise,
77For a while they ling’ring stood,Shedding tears, a plenteous flood,
88Filled with sorrow and surprise.For her heart supplied her eyes.
99
1010But their sorrows quickly fled,Jesus, who is always near,
1111When they heard his loving voice;Though too often unperceiv'd,
1212Christ has risen from the dead!Came, His drooping child to cheer,
1313Now he bids all hearts rejoice!Kindly asking why she griev'd?
14Though at first she knew him not,
15When he call'd her by her name,
16Then her griefs were all forgot,
17For she found He was the same.
18
19Grief and sighing quickly fled,
20When she heard his welcome voice;
21Just before she thought him dead,
22Now he bids her heart rejoice.
1423What a change his word can make,What a change his word can make,
1524Changing darkness into day.Turning darkness into day!
1625Ye who weep for Jesus’ sake,You who weep for Jesus’ sake,
1726He will wipe your tears away.He will wipe your tears away.
27
28He who came to comfort her,
29When she thought her all was lost,
30Will for your relief appear,
31Though you now are tempest-toss'd:
32On his word your burden cast,
33On His love your thoughts employ;
34Weeping for a while may last,
35But the morning brings the joy.
