Hymnal: The New Sabbath School Hosanna #73 (1870) Lyrics: 1 Mary to her Saviour’s tomb
Hasted at the early dawn;
Spice she brought and sweet perfume,
But the Lord she loved had gone.
For a while she lingering stood,
Filled with sorrow and surprise,
Trembling, while a crystal flood
Issued from her weeping eyes.
2 But her sorrows quickly fled
When she heard his welcome voice;
Christ had risen from the dead;
Now he bids her heart rejoice:
What a change his word can make,
Turning darkness into day!
Ye who weep for Jesus' sake,
He will wipe your tears away.
