LyicsMary to the Saviour's tomb
Hasted at the early dawn;
Spice she brought, and sweet perfume,
But the Lord she loved had gone.
For awhile she ling'ring stood,
Fill'd with sorrow and surprise;
Trembling while a crystal flood
Issued from her weeping eyes.
But her sorrows quickly fled,
When she heard his welcome voice;
Christ has risen from the dead;
Now he bids her heart rejoice.
What a change his word can make,
Turning darkness into day!
Ye who weep for Jesus' sake,
He will wipe your tears away.
