Tune: Easter Hymn
(\'Jesus Christ is risen today\')
John 20 v.11-18 parts
********
Hail the resurrection day! Alleluia!
Christ the Lord is risen for aye* (*ever) Alleluia!
Here His triumph may we share Alleluia!
Victory beyond compare Alleluia!
Mary at the tomb He met Alleluia!
She supposed Him gardener yet Alleluia!
Said, My Lord taken away Alleluia!
Empty be the tomb this day Alleluia!
Tell me where you have taken Alleluia!
Him, and I will place maken Alleluia!
For Him to be laid at rest Alleluia!
But \'Mary\' He said, she blest Alleluia!
She said, Master, Rabboni Alleluia!
Knew her Lord, Saviour, there nigh Alleluia!
Touch me not, He said, for I Alleluia!
Not ascended by and by Alleluia!
Go unto the people, say Alleluia!
That you have seen me this day Alleluia!
I go to my Father, God, true Alleluia!
He your Father and God too Alleluia!
