Christ Has Risen
by
C. E. Chandler
They left him for dead in a tomb,
in the dark, damp gloom.
They rolled a huge stone against the door,
and thought that he was dead forever more.
Mary Magdalene discovered, to her dismay,
that the stone had been rolled away.
Weeping sadly, that first Easter Day,
Mary cried, "They have taken him away".
Then she heard a voice from behind,
"Who is it that you seek to find".
So it was that Mary Magdalene,
spread the word, the risen Christ had been seen.
