The Holy Women at the Tomb
William Bouguereau (1825–1905)

We wel­come glad East­er when Je­sus arose,
And won a great vic­to­ry ov­er His foes.

Refrain

Then raise your glad voic­es, all Chris­tians, and sing,
Bring glad East­er tid­ings to Je­sus, your king.

We tell how the wo­men came ear­ly that day,
And there at the tomb found the stone rolled away.

Refrain

We sing of the an­gel who said: Do not fear!
Your Sav­ior is ris­en, and He is not here.

Refrain

We think of the pro­mise which Je­sus did give:
That he who be­lieves in Me also shall live!
