Lyrics

They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him.
Women, why weepest thou?
Because they have taken away, my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
Women, why weepest thou? Women, who seekest thou?
Sir, if thou have bourne Him hence, Tell me where thou hast laid Him?
Tell me where thou hast laid Him?

Mary! Master!

O Death, where is thy sting? O Grave, where is thy victory?
Thanks be to God, thanks be to God, Hallelujah,
Thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hallelujah! Amen.
