Mary to Her Savior's Tomb ft. Timothy Crouch & Kara Young Lyrics

Mary to her Savior's tomb

hasted at the early dawn:

spice she brought, and sweet perfume;

but the Lord she loved was gone.

For a while she weeping stood,

Struck with horror and surprise;

shedding tears, a plenteous flood,

for her heart supplied her eyes.

Grief and sighing quickly fled

when she heard His welcome voice:

Just before, she thought Him dead;

Now He bids her heart rejoice.

What a change His word can make,

Turning darkness into day!

You who weep for Jesus' sake,

He will wipe your tears away.

He who came to comfort her

when she thought her all was lost

will for your relief appear,

though you now are tempest-tossed.

On His word your burden cast,

On His love your thoughts employ:

Weeping for a while may last;

but the morning brings the joy
