SWEET SURPRISES.
41

They sought Thy tomb, Thou Saviour sweet,

Those early seekers true and sad;

But Thou their Living Lord didst meet

And make Thy mourning lovers glad.

The friends as on their way they went,

With troubled faces, talked of Thee;

When Thou didst suddenly present

Thy comfort and Thy company.

They met in fear, they met by night,

Those shrinking servants, Lord, of Thine;

When sudden shone Thy presence bright,

And sounded sweet Thy voice divine.

Thou who thus sweetly didst surprise,

Dost Thou not still Thy seekers bless?
