Also known as “Weeping Mary” or “Mary at the Tomb, based on John 20:11–16.
Mary to the Saviour’s tomb,
Hastened at the early dawn,
Spice she brought & sweet perfume;
But the Lord she loved was gone.
Lingering, for awhile she stood,
Filled with sorrow and surprise;
Trembling, while a crystal flood,
Issued from her weeping eyes.
But her sorrows quickly fled,
When she heard the Saviour’s voice;
Christ has risen from the dead,
Now he bids her heart rejoice.
What a change his love can make,
Turning darkness into day;
Ye who weep for Jesus’ sake,
He will wipe your tears away.
