Tune: Lux Eoi
(\'Alleluia, Alleluia! Hearts to heaven....\')
Matthew 28 v.1-10
********
As the first day of the week dawned
Two Marys came, as they mourned
To see the tomb of Jesus, when
There was a great earthquake then
Angel of the Lord descended
Rolled back stone from door, rended
And there sat, appeared as lightning
Raiment white as snow, dazzling
And for fear of Him guards did shake
As dead men it did them make
To the women said the angel
Fear not, glad tidings I tell
I know that you do seek Jesus
Who was crucified for us
He is not here, He is risen
See place where He was laid then
And tell disciples, go quickly
He is risen from dead, see
And, behold, he goes before you
Into Galilee, \'tis true
There you shall see Him, I have told
You, take courage and be bold
They left tomb with fear and joy great
Ran, told disciples not late
And as they went, Jesus them met
Said, Greetings, they had not yet
Reached the disciples, but then they
Bowed and worshipped Him that day
He said as the angel said, Be
Not afraid, to Galilee
Go, tell disciples to there go
There they shall see me, shall know
