They came to the quiet garden
In the early morning gloom,
And there in the shadowed darkness
They found an empty tomb.
They brought their scented spices
To anoint the hallowed dead,
But found, to their amazement,
The Living Lord instead.
Their hearts were heavy-laden
Bowed down with deep despair
But when they lifted tear-dimmed eyes,
LO, Jesus was standing there.
They thought all hope had ended
With Calavry's dying breath .
But they found a powerful Savior,
Triumphant over death!
On that wonderful Easter morning,
In a garden sweet with dew,
A world to save
To live and reign anew.
So oft in the midst of sorrows
When hope seems cold and dread,
with lifted eyes, we too may see
An empty tomb instead..
