Verse 1:

G+G
She came with the spices
C majorC       D MajorD
To thy tomb O Lord,
D7D7
Knowing not that Thou
G+G          E minorEm
Above the earth had soared.
  G+G
She came void of all hope;
  A minorAm
She came expecting death;
  A minorAm        G+G
Forgetting the Life-Giver
  D MajorD       G+G
Who is the living breath.

Verse 2:
  G+G
In trials and tribulations,
  C majorC       D MajorD
Do we not do the same:
D7D7
Looking at our errors,
G+G         E minorEm
Despairing in our blame?
  G+G
How often do we wallow,
 A minorAm
Abandoning all hope –
  A minorAm      G+G
As though on our own –
   D MajorD        G+G
With burden we could cope.


Verse 3:
  G+G
If Peter lost all hope when
  C majorC        D MajorD
Our Lord exposed his sin,
D7D7
Luke would not record
  G+G            E minorEm
The three thousand he would win.
G+G
If Paul considered nothing
  A minorAm
But his murderous past,
   A minorAm      G+G
Would his inspired letters
  D MajorD        G+G
To this generation last?

Verse 4:
G+G
Moses’ life was evil,
   C majorC       D MajorD
Every sin he did commit,
D7D7
But from this desert bandit,
 G+G        E minorEm
A augmentedA shining lamp was lit.
  G+G
If Mary, Egypt’s harlot,
  A minorAm
Had not tried to win his grace,
A minorAm         G+G
Would she now be in heaven –
   D MajorD        G+G
Would she have won the race?


Verse 5:
  G+G
Our Lord set an example,
  C majorC         D MajorD
Compelled, we do the same:
D7D7
Fight, strive, persevere and
  G+G       E minorEm
On us will be no blame.
  G+G
If our loving Saviour
  A minorAm
Had not endured all pain,
   A minorAm        G+G
Would Redemption and Salvation
D MajorD      G+G
Ever be our gain?


Verse 6:
 G+G
I come now with hope
  C majorC     D MajorD
To Thy Tomb O Lord,
D7D7
Knowing that in Truth,
G+G          E minorEm
Above the earth Thou soared,
 G+G
I come now with joy,
 A minorAm
I come expecting life;
A minorAm          G+G
Knowing that through Thee
 D MajorD       C majorC
I can endure all strife.
