By Jesus' Grave on Either Hand
Author: I. Gregory Smith Meter: 8.8.8 Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1. By Jesus’ grave on either hand,
While night is brooding o’er the land,
The sad and silent mourners stand.
2. At last the weary life is o’er,
The agony and conflict sore
Of Him who all our sufferings bore.
3. Deep in the rock’s sepulchral shade
The Lord, by whom the worlds were made,
The Savior of mankind, is laid.
4. O hearts bereaved and sore distressed,
Here is for you a place of rest;
Here leave your grief on Jesus’ breast. Used With Tune: HOLY SEPULCHRE Text Sources: A Hymn Book for the Service of the Church, and for Private Reading, second edition (London: Parker, 1855)
By Jesus' Grave on Either Hand
The Easter Light
Author: Howard A. Walter Meter: 8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Still are there love-drawn souls today Lyrics:
1 Still are there love-drawn souls today
Who seek the tomb where Jesus lay
And find the stone is rolled away.
2 They peer within the ghostly gloom;
No spiritual lights illume,
They only see the empty tomb.
3 To them no angel forms appear,
No voice is sounding in their ear,
"The Lord is ris’n. He is not here."
4 From piteous eyes the quick tears start,
Then, musing o’er the thievish art
That stole their Lord, they slow depart.
5 They bow bereaved beneath the cross,
They mourn the world’s unmeasured loss,
And hold all heav’nward hope but dross.
6 Oh, foolish hearts and slow of sight,
Who watch and wait in Calvary’s night,
Will ye not see the Easter light?
