EN 39 Resting from His Work Today

Gen.2.2

Versi Version 1

1

Resting from His work today

In the tomb the Savior lay;

Still He slept, from head to feet

Shrouded in the winding sheet,

Lying in the rock alone,

Hidden by the sealed stone.

2

Late at even there was seen

Watching long the Magdalene;

Early, ere the break of day,

Sorrowful she took her way

To the holy garden glade,

Where her buried Lord was laid.

3

So with Thee, till life shall end,

I would solemn vigil spend:

Let me hew Thee, Lord, a shrine

In this rocky heart of mine,

Where in pure embalmed cell,

None but Thou may ever dwell.

4

Myrrh and spices will I bring,

True affection’s offering;

Close the doors from sight and sound

Of the busy world around;

And in patient watch remain

Till my Lord appear again.
