Mary to the Savior's Tomb

Author: Simeon Butler Marsh, 1798-1875; John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 265 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Mary to the Savior’s tomb Hasted at the early dawn; Spice she brought, and rich perfume, But the Lord she loved had gone; For a while she lingering stood, Filled with sorrow and surprise, Trembling, while a crystal flood Issued from her weeping eye. 2. But her sorrow quickly fled When she heard His welcome voice; Christ had risen from the dead— Now He bids her heart rejoice. What a change His word can make, Turning darkness into day! Ye who weep for Jesus’ sake, He will wipe your tears away. 3. He who came to comfort her, When she thought her all was lost, Will for your relief appear, Tho’ you now are tempest-tossed. On His arm your burden cast; On His love your thoughts employ; Weeping for a while may last, But the morning brings the joy. Used With Tune: MARTYN

Jesus, Lover of My Soul

Author: Charles Wesley, 1707-1788 Appears in 3,210 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus, lover of my soul, Let me to Thy bosom fly, While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high! Hide me, O my Savior, hide - Till the storm of life is past; Safe into the haven guide. O receive my soul at last! 2 Other refuge have I none - Hangs my helpless soul on Thee. Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed - All my help from Thee I bring. Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. 3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want, More than all in Thee I find. Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, Heal the sick, and lead the blind. Just and holy is Thy name - I am all unrighteousness; False and full of sin I am, Thou art full of truth and grace. 4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found, Grace to cover all my sin. Let the healing streams abound; Make and keep me pure within. Thou of life the fountain art - Freely let me take of Thee; Spring Thou up within my heart, Rise to all eternity.
