Resting From His Work Today
In The Tomb The Savior Lay;
Still He Slept, From Head To Feet
Shrouded In The Winding-Sheet,
Lying In The Rock Alone,
Hidden By The Sealed Stone.
Late At Even There Was Seen
Watching Long The Magdalene;
Early, Ere The Break Of Day,
Sorrowful She Took Her Way
To The Holy Garden Glade,
Where Her Buried Lord Was Laid.
So With Thee, Till Life Shall End,
I Would Solemn Vigil Spend;
Let Me Hew Thee, Lord, A Shrine
In This Rocky Heart Of Mine,
Where In Pure Embalmed Cell
None But Thou May Ever Dwell.
Myrrh And Spices Will I Bring,
True Affection’s Offering;
Close The Door From Sight And Sound
Of The Busy World Around;
And In Patient Watch Remain
Till My Lord Appear Again.
