Tune: Judas Maccabaeus
('Thine be the glory')
Matthew 28 v.1-10
*********
End of the Sabbath, dusk of Saturday
On the first day of the week, dawn on Sunday
Came Mary Magdalene and other Mary
Unto tht sepulchre, it then for to see
Chorus
Christ ever with us, risen from the dead
Noe to die no more, He e'er our living Head
And, behold, there was too a great earthquake
Angel of the Lord descended, land did shake
Came from heaven and the stone he rolled away
At the tomb's entrance, and sat on it that day - Chorus
His countenance was like lightning, clothes white
As snow, guards at the tomb trembled at the sight
Angel said to women, Fear not, for I know
You seek Jesus, who was crucified here so - Chorus
He is not here, for He is risen, see
The place where the Lord lay, it now empty be
Come, look for yourselves, and then do go quickly
Tell disciples He is risen from dead, free - Chorus
Say that He has gone on to Galilee
Go there and then Him you shall certainly see
They did leave the tomb with fear and with joy great
Ran to disciples, bough them good news not late - Chorus
And as they went, Jesus did then them meet
They did know Him risen, and He did them greet
They worshipped Him, Go tell disciples, He said
Go to Galilee, see me risen from dead - Chorus

Maontaining? That's a new word - I'll copyright it.
Will Miss Berles allow that extra syllable in maontaining? How much will she charge for it?
