[Death and the grave can never cool]

As it began to dawn . . . came Mary Magdalene, &c. —xxviii. 1.

Death and the grave can never cool
The zeal of a believing soul:
With love to her Redeemer fired,
With earnest holy haste inspired,

436

Led to the cross who mourn'd to see
Her Saviour breathless on the tree,
Shall first at Jesus' sepulchre,
With joy behold her Lord appear.
