An dem österlichen Tag Maria Magdalena ging zu dem Grab; was fand sie in dem Grabe stehn? Einen Engel wohlgetan. Der Engel grüsst sie in der Zeit: "Den da suchet das vielselige Weib, er ist erstanden von dem Tod, den du salben wolltest". "Maria!" ruft er ihr zu hant, da erkennt sie ihren Heiland, sie sah in aller der Gebärde, sann er ein Wärter wäre.

De eerste paasdag ging vroeg Maria Magdalena naar het graf; Wat trof zij in het graf daar aan? Wel, een engel zag zij staan. De engel groet haar plichtsgetrouw: “Die gij zoekt hier, o gezegende vrouw, Hij is verrezen uit de dood, Die gij zalven wilde.” “Maria” roept hij, heft zijn hand, Dan herkent zij ook haar Heiland, Zij zag het wel aan zijn gebaren, Dacht dat daar wachters waren.
