Author: Dan Damon Hymnal: Chalice Hymnal #223 (1995) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 Woman, weeping in the garden,

Who has taken Jesus' body;
Jesus Christ, the crucified?

after men have come and gone;
after angels give their witness,
silently you watch the dawn.
3 Woman, walking in the garden,
Jesus takes you by surprise;
when the gardener calls you, "Mary!"
faith and joy meet in your eyes.
4 Woman, weeping in the garden,
weep for joy, for you have seen
Jesus, the Messiah, risen;
Christ, of whom the prophets dream.

find the others and proclaim
