(\'The day of resurrection\')
John 20 v.1-18 parts
*********
Th first day of the week, Sunday
Mary Magdelene, yea
When it was yet dark, came unto
Jesus\' tomb anew
She did see the stone rolled away
From the entrance that day
Then ran back to the disciples
And told them story all
She did tell Peter and John how
Stone was rolled away now
And said, The Lord they have taken
From there, I know not when
Nor where they have now laid Him for
Tomb was empty for sure
Peter and John to tomb they went
In haste, with no relent
John, he did arrive first, and he
Stooped down to look and see
He saw linen clothes lying there
Then Peter scene did share
Went into tomb, saw linen too
And face cloth he did view
That was round Jesus\' head, now see
Wrapped by itself it be
Then John went into tomb also
He saw, believed, did know
Now that Christ from dead arisen
Fulfilling Scriptures then
Then they went home, but Mary
Stayed at the tomb, and she
Saw Christ in the garden revealed
Her fears and frets were stilled
