Now when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. Very early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen. […]
And entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified.
—Mark 16:1-2,5-6 (NKJV)
This is good news for you!
This joyful Eastertide
Away with sin and sorrow!
My Love, the Crucified,
Hath sprung to life this morrow,
Had Christ, that once was slain,
Ne�er burst His three day prison,
Our faith had been in vain:
But now hast Christ arisen.
Amen.
Death's flood hath lost its chill,
Since Jesus crossed the River!
Lover of souls from ill,
My passing soul deliver.
Had Christ that once was slain,
Ne'er burst His three-day prison,
Our faith had been in vain!
But now hath Christ arisen!
Arisen! Arisen! Arisen!
Amen.
