In hours of darkness, MaryPrayed psalms throughout the night,
"I searched throughout the city
Until the morning light;
And then I saw the watchmen,
And asked them, in their way,
'Have you seen him my heart loves?'
As night turned into day."
Thus Mary, in her weeping,
Went searching near and far,
And could not find her Master,
The bright and Morning Star.
She thought she saw the gard'ner,
And asked where Jesus lay;
She heard his voice say, "Mary!"
And there stood Christ, the Way.
We thank you for the witness
That she bore for your Son,
The faith she kept proclaiming
Until her life was done.
All glory to the Father,
All glory, Risen Son!
All glory to the Spirit,
True Godhead, only One!
