Mary to Her Savior’s Tomb (EN 4513)

EN 4513 Mary to Her Savior’s Tomb

John.20.1

Versi Version 1

1

Mary to her Savior’s tomb

Hasted at the early dawn;

Spice she brought, and sweet perfume,

But the Lord, the Loved, was gone.

2

For awhile she weeping stood,

Struck with sorrow and surprise;

Shedding tears, a plenteous flood,

For her heart supplied her eyes.

3

Jesus, who is always near,

Though too often unperceived

Came, His drooping child to cheer,

And inquired, Why she grieved?

4

Though at first she knew Him not,

When He called her by her name,

Then her griefs were all forgot,

For she found He was the same.

5

Grief and sighing quickly fled

When she heard His welcome voice;

Just before she thought Him dead,

Now He bids her heart rejoice:

6

What a change His Word can make,

Turning darkness into day!

You who weep for Jesus’ sake;

He will wipe your tears away.

7

He Who came to comfort her,

When she thought her all was lost;

Will for your relief appear,

Though you now are tempest-tossed:

8

On His Word your burden cast,

On His love your thoughts employ;

Weeping for awhile may last,

But the morning brings the joy.
