Verse 1:
C        F    G           Am
Faithful women sought Him weeping,
F       C      D        G
Weeping at the break of dawn,
C            F         G       Am
Sought their Lord where He lay sleeping,
F      C       G         C
In the love of hearts forlorn.
C        F         G         Am
Life for death that wondrous morning
F       C       E         Am
Joy for sorrow, faith for fear,
C         F        G        Am
For their tears the Angel’s greeting,-
F         C         G      C
Christ is risen! He is not here.

In His triumph o’er the grave,

Hear the tale amid their grieving,
F      C     G      C
Hasten eager to the Cave;
C        F     G             Am
Find the folded graveclothes lying,
F          C         E         Am
Death’s unloosed and shattered chain,
C        F            G        Am
Find Him gone, death’s power defying,
F        C         G         C
From the tomb thus sealed in vain.

To announce the Risen Lord

Of the tragedy of old
C        F      G      Am
Glorious tidings now rehearsing
F       C       G    C
For the tale in Eden told
C       F          G       Am
Woman’s voice, that tale supplying
F          C        E       Am
Brought in death by Satan’s lie
C       F       G      Am

Sinners, tempted to despairing

Everyone is welcome here

Christ is risen! bring your sadness

[Extra-Verse]
(insert before verse 5)
C        F   G      Am
From the city now departing
F        C       D       G
Brethren walking side by side
C        F       G      Am
On their journey, sad recalling
F      C          G      C
How He loved, and how he died
C     F         G      Am
He is with them! He is hearing
F         C         E        Am
How their trust and hope had fled
C        F     G        Am
To their feeble faith appearing
F      C        G      C
In the breaking of the Bread
 
C      F       G       Am
Hidden from the sunset glory
F        C      D       G
Locked within a room so dim
C         F      G        Am
There the Ten, on all His Story
F     C         G        C
Sadly dwelling, speak of Him
C     F          G          Am
He is there! The Light that never
F    C        E     Am
Into twilight fades away
C        F     G          Am
Day-star of the Dawn that ever
F        C      G       C
Breaks into the perfect Day!
