Author: Michael Arnold Perry (1942-1996) Hymnal: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise #407 (2008) Meter: 6.7.7.11 Hymnal Title: Hymns of Glory, Songs of Praise Lyrics: 1 Comes Mary to the grave:
no singing bird has spoken,
nor has the world awoken,
and in her grief all love lies lost and broken.
2 Says Jesus at her side,
no longer Jesus dying,
'Why, Mary, are you crying?'
She turns, with joy, 'My Lord! my love!' replying.
3 With Mary on this day
we join our voices praising
the God of Jesus' raising,
and sing the triumph of that love amazing. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter; Grief Scripture: John 20:1-16 Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH CLOSE
