“Jesus thy Lord is alive!
“Mind ye well that which He told thee:
“Ne death nor grave shall survive!”
Recall’d they then the Saviour’s words:
“Crucified by sinners, yet
The third day shall He rise again”—
With this Gospel were they met.
“Get thee gone to His disciples,”
Urg’d the angel, “and tell all:
“How that Jesus Christ is risen,
“To Peter His words recall.”
Then with joyous tread they left there,
Astonied at all they’d heard
And the empty grave they’d found there:
The fulfilling of His Word.
Astonied at all they’d heard
And the empty grave they’d found there:
The fulfilling of His Word.
His life He gave upon the Tree:
Even the soldier did marvel.
In Joseph’s tomb did they lay him;
Sabbath approaching, they dispers’d.
Right early that Sunday morning,
Intent on anointing Him there,
Salome came, and the Marys.
Empty stood the tomb—the women were astounded—
‘Not here!’ cried the angel, ‘for death He’s confounded!’
