| Mary of Magdala when the moon had set | B |

| Mary of Magdala in her misery | D |
| Who shall roll the stone up from yon door quoth she | D |
| And trembling down the steep she went and wept sore | D |
| Because her dearest Lord was alas no more | D |
| - | |
| Her burden she let fall lo the stone was gone | E |
| Light was there within out to the dark it shone | F |
| With an angel's face the dread tomb was bright | G |
| The which she beholding fell for sore affright | G |
| - | |
| Mary of Magdala in her misery | D |
| Heard the white vision speak and did straightway flee | D |
| And an idle tale seem'd the wild words she said | G |
| And nought her heart received nought was comforted | G |
| - | |
| Nay quoth the men He loved when they came to see | D |
| Our eyes beheld His death the Saint of Galilee | D |

| In a moment dawn solemn and sweet and clear | D |
| Kneeling yet she weeps and some one stands anear | D |
| Asketh of her grief she all her thoughts are dim | I |
| If thou hast borne Him hence tell me doth answer Him | I |
| - | |
| Mary He saith no more shades of night have fled | G |
| Under dewy leaves behold Him death is dead | G |
| Mary and O my Master sorrow speeds away | H |
| Sunbeams touch His feet this earliest Easter day | H |
| - | |
| After the pains of death in a place unknown | F |
| Trembling of visions haunted and all alone | F |
| I too shall want Thee Jesus my hope my trust | G |
| Fall'n low and all unclothed even of my poor dust | G |
| - | |
| I too shall hear Thee speak Jesus my life divine | J |
| And call me by my name Lord for I am Thine | J |
| Thou wilt stand and wait I shall so look and SEE | D |
| In the garden of God I SHALL look up on THEE | D |
