Seeking the Master

Whispering words of com­fort

Hand in hand they move;

Looking in vain

for dark­ness

Heavily lies above.

Sadly toll­ing

toll­ing for One who died;

Sadly toll­ing

toll­ing for One cru­ci­fied;

O hear them chang­ing their song to glad­ness

Banishing fear and sad­ness

Telling to all the won­drous story

Of Je­sus

who died

but has ris’n again

Who died

but has ris­en again.

Seeking their lov­ing Mas­ter

Wandering thro’ the gloom;

While East­er bells are toll­ing

Sadly they reach the tomb.

Slowly the day is dawn­ing

Darkness dis­ap­pears;

Seeing the tomb so emp­ty

Only in­creased their fears.

Why do you seek the liv­ing

Here among the dead?

He is not here

but ris­en

Even as He hath said.
