[With Magdalene and me]

Go quickly, and tell His disciples that He is, &c. —xxviii. 7.

With Magdalene and me
Let every mourner come,
By faith behold and see
His late deserted tomb,

438

And swift to His disciples fly,
The joyful truth to testify.
Who now lament and grieve
As Christ would ne'er appear,
His witnesses believe,
And cast away your fear:
Him we have seen to life restored:
Rejoice in our immortal Lord.
No longer weep and mourn,
The Lord is risen indeed!
By faith to Jesus turn,
By Jesus' Spirit led,
With us to Galilee repair,
And see your living Saviour there.
