See‚ now‚ the Saviour glorified
See‚ now‚ the Saviour glorified
by Norman J Goreham (1931-2021)

At midnight in a garden

When Mary to the garden came
by Avis Palmer
When Mary to the garden came. The dawn was colouring the sky, Her life would never be the same, Where was her Lord, why did he die? The birds were singing in the trees, But deaf to joy, she did not hear. Sweet signs of Spring, she did not see. So isolated by her fear. Verses 3-6 …
