Resting from His Work Today
VERSE 1
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.
VERSE 2
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.
VERSE 3
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.
VERSE 4
Myrrh
and spices will I bring,
True
affection’s offering;
Close
the doors from sight and sound
Of the
busy world around;
And in
patient watch remain
Till my
Lord appear again.
