Product Description
A sacred choral work for SATB choir. The text is about the events surrounding the resurrection of Christ. Music by Kevin G. Pace. Text by Mary Ann Snowball. See text below:
So early on that Sabbath morn, Before the dawn arose,
Two women took their oil lamps To where the tomb was closed.
They carried spices to annoint Because their Lord had died.
Just days before, in agony, He had been crucified.
When they arrived, the stones were gone; The sepulcher was bare.
An angel said, "Why weepest thou?" To Mary standing there.
"He is not here" were dreaded words. "But Jesus lives again!"
"He lives! He lives!" would soon be heard by all of mortal men.
And then the resurrected Lord Did ask Himself this time:
"Why weepest thou?" Then Mary turned; His face was so sublime!
"Rabonni" was her cry aloud; She saw her risen Lord!
She was the first to witness Him; Her love would now record.
"All hail, all hail" soon shouted peace Across the holy land,
For God would wipe all tears away To bring the joy He planned.
Christ's resurrection offers life Because our Savior died.
We glory in his perfect gift; In Him we will abide.
