     1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. 5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. 7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. 8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.(KJV)

1. Morning breaks upon the tomb; 
Jesus scatters all its gloom. 
Day of triumph through the skies; 
See the glorious Savior rise. 

2. Ye who are of death afraid 
Triumph in the scattered shade. 
Drive your anxious cares away; 
See the place where Jesus lay. 

3. Christians, dry your flowing tears 
Chase your unbelieving fears; 
Look on His deserted grave, 
Doubt no more His power to save.
