Eternal life and heavenly rest He purchased by death's agony, That whosoever will be blest With glorious immortality. ETERNAL LIFE AND HEAVENLY REST HE PURCHASED BY DEATH'S AGONY THAT WHOSOEVER WILL BE BLEST WITH GLORIOUS IMMORTALITY
d these faithful few, Regardless of all pain and loss, Did what their hearts and hands could do, Though bowed with wonder at the cross. Such love they could not understand, Such love unto his latest breath; That love had our redemption planned Both in his life and in his death. They haunt the tomb in which he lay, Grief-stricken, desolate, and lone; But Magdalene at break of day Found that her precious charge was gone. Two angels said, "Why weepest thou?" The angels knew ere they inquired. They knew her heart could triumph now, These sinless ones by love inspired. She, weeping, told her loss and woe, Then answered thus a questioner near: "Sir, if thou dost his refuge know, Tell me. I seek him vainly here." "Mary!" She listened to her name Uttered by Christ, her risen Lord. "Master?" her trembling lips exclaim, Then wondered, worshipped, and adored. Her joy is ours! Oh, may we see That joy more plainly every day! Christ lives and loves eternally,-- Swift feet such tidings should convey. CHRIST'S PROPHECY WHICH THEN WAS GIVEN UNTO THE END THESE FAITHFUL FEW REGARDLESS OF ALL PAIN AND LOSS DID WHAT THEIR HEARTS AND HANDS COULD DO THOUGH BOWED WITH WONDER AT THE CROSS SUCH LOVE THEY COULD NOT UNDERSTAND SUCH LOVE UNTO HIS LATEST BREATH THAT LOVE HAD OUR REDEMPTION PLANN'D BOTH IN HIS LIFE AND IN HIS DEATH THEY HAUNT THE TOMB IN WHICH HE LAY GRIEF STRICKEN DESOLATE AND LONE BUT MAGDALEN AT BREAK OF DAY FOUND THAT HER PRECIOUS CHARGE WAS GONE TWO ANGELS SAID WHY WEEPEST THOU THE ANGEL'S NEW EAR THEY INQUIRED THEY KNEW HER HEART COULD TRIUMPH NOW THE SINLESS ONES BY LOVE INSPIRED SHE WEEPING TOLD HER LOSS AND WOE THEN ANSWERED THUS A QUESTIONER NEAR SIR IF THOU DOST HIS REFUGE KNOW TELL ME I SEEK HIM VAINLY HERE MARY SHE LISTENED TO HER NAME UTTERED BY CHRIST HER RISEN LORD MASTER HER TREMBLING LIPS EXCLAIM THEN WONDERED WORSHIPPED AND ADORED HER JOY IS OURS ALL MAY WE SEE THAT JOY MORE PLAINLY EVERY DAY CHRIST LIVES AND LOVES ETERNALLY SWIFT FEET SUCH TIDINGS SHOULD CONVEY
