Author: Michael Perry (born 1942) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #152a (1987) Meter: 6.7.7.11 Lyrics: 1 Comes Mary to the grave:
no singing bird has spoken,
nor has the world awoken,
and in her grief all love lies lost and broken.
2 Says Jesus at her side,
no longer Jesus dying,
'Why, Mary, are you crying?'
She turns, with joy, 'My Lord! my love!' replying.
3 With Mary on this day
we join our voices praising
the God of Jesus' raising,
and sing the triumph of his love amazing. Topics: Easter The Resurrection of Christ; Easter 1 The Upper Room; Easter 3 The Resurrection and the Life; God, Saviour Risen and Victorious Scripture: John 20:1-18 Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH CLOSE
