Easter Song

To the holy Saviour's tomb,

Hasted they at early dawn;

Spice they brought and sweet perfume;

But the Lord they loved had gone.

Trembling while a crystal flood

Issued from their weeping eyes,

For a while they ling'ring stood,

Filled with sorrow and surprise.

But their sorrows quickly fled,

When they heard his loving voice;

Christ has risen from the dead!

Now he bids all hearts rejoice!

What a change his word can make,

Changing darkness into day.

Ye who weep for Jesus' sake,

He will wipe your tears away.
