Author: Gerard Moultrie Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16183 Meter: 7.7.7.7 First Line: At the tomb where Christ hath been Lyrics:
1 At the tomb where Christ hath been,
Weeping waits the Magdalene;
With the two disciples she
Wonders where the Lord can be.
2 Look they in: they see the bed
Where the Lord hath laid His head;
Where He slept so calm, so still,
Underneath His holy hill.
3 Stooping down they see no more
Than the clothes which wrapped Him o’er,
Clothes which bound His feet, His brow,
Death’s white vestments, useless now.
4 They depart: but love and faith
Stronger are than sight, than death;
At the tomb where Christ hath been
Watching waits the Magdalene.
5 He was here: then she will wait,
Watching early, watching late;
Where her Jesus last was seen
There will wait the Magdalene.
6 Look once more, O Mary! see,
Is it still the same to thee?
Clear the tears from off your sight—
Where was darkness, now is light!
7 Angel guards are sitting now
Clothed in raiment white as snow:
Shines their glory through the shade
Where the form of Christ was laid.
8 "He is risen! do not fear:
Your dear Lord abides not here,
See the place (wipe tears away)
Where the sleeping Jesus lay."
0 Turns she round: she sees Him stand
In the garden close at hand:
"Mary!" ’Tis His accent now:
"Master!" It is Thou, ’tis Thou!
