Lyrics

16. 

After the sabbath, the women woke; 
Some oil and spices with them took, 

So to anoint and so prepare 
The body that was lying there. 

Outside, the day had scarce begun, 
With chill and glimmer of first sun. 

Their preparations were not done, 
But who would roll away the stone? 

Then they saw the stone was rolled back: 
The tomb was open, wide and black. 

Inside the tomb a young man sat 
Wearing a robe of gleaming white. 

Do not be astonished, he said 
Jesus of Naz’reth is not dead. 

See the dark place where He did lay: 
Go now and tell all Galilee! 

He is now waiting for you there, 
As He has told you long before. 

To Mary Magd’lene He came first, 
From whom He seven demons cast. 

But when she said He was alive 
There was not one who would believe. 

To others He appeared thereafter 
But their reports met jeers and laughter. 

Then once, th’eleven met to eat, 
And He with them at table sat, 

He urged them all to keep the faith 
That burst the bonds of sin and death. 

Go you into the world and preach. 
This word to all creation teach: 

They who believe are washed of sin; 
Who turns away will be condemned. 

Cast out the demons in my name; 
This truth in every tongue proclaim. 

Lift all the serpents up on high; 
Drink of their poison harmlessly. 

Lay your hands upon all the sick; 
Help the poor folk with all they lack. 

And after they had shared the cup, 
Lord Jesus, He was taken up 

To sit at the right hand of God. 
And they went forth and preached the Word, 

And God confirmed them with this sign. 
This is the truth, I swear. Amen.
