Hope For All Souls

Tune: All Saints

(\'Who are these like stars appearing?\')

John 20 v.11-18 parts

********

Hope of resurrection, Mary

The risen Christ see did see

Stood there by the tomb-stone weeping

Looked inside, and saw great thing

Two angels were sitting there

But tomb of Jesus was bare

 

They said to her, Woman, why yu

Weep? She said, i grieve anew

For they have taken away my

Lord, i know not by and by

Where they have Him laid, and when

She turned round, saw Jesus then

 

But she did not know it was He

That Jesus before here be

He said to her, Woman, why do

You weep, cry with tears like dew?

Who do you seek? She not know

That it was He who did show

 

She supposed He the gardener be

Said to Him, Sir, if you He

Have taken Him away, tell me

Where His resting-place so be

Then I shall take him away

Find place to lay Him this day

 

Jesus said unto her, Mary

She with eyes of faith did see

And said \'Rabboni\', \'tis \'Master\'

She did view Him there for sure

Went then and disciples told

Of Christians hope true and bold
