Mary Magdalene Songtext
von Rob Gardner

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden
And in the garden a new sepulchre
Wherein was never man yet laid
There laid they Jesus

Mary Magdalene was the first to come
To the sepulchre after the crucifixion
When she saw that the stone had been rolled away
And that the tomb was empty
She ran to tell Peter and John

Come and see the sepulchre
Where we have laid my Lord
Come and see the empty tomb

The two apostles came to see
Then left sorrowing


But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping
And as she wept she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre
And seeth two angels in white sitting
One at the head and the other at the feet
Where the body of Jesus had lain
And they say unto her
Woman, why weepest thou?
She saith unto them
They have taken my dear Lord away
And where they′ve laid him I know not

And when she had thus said
She turned herself back and saw Jesus standing
And knew not that it was Jesus
Jesus saith unto her
Woman, why weepest thou?

Whom seekest thou?
She, supposing him to be the gardener
Saith unto him
Sir, if thou hast borne him hence
Please tell me where thou hast laid him
And I will take him away


Jesus saith unto her
Mary
She turned herself and saith unto him
Rabboni, which is to say Master
Jesus saith unto her
Touch me not
For I am not yet ascended to my Father
But go to my brethren and say unto them
I ascend unto my Father and your Father
And to my God and your God
