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
