Mark 16 New International Version

Jesus Has Risen

16 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. ² Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb ³ and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”

⁴ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. ⁵ As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

⁶ “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

⁸ Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.^[a]

1. King of my life, I crown Thee now,
   Thine shall the glory be;
   Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,
   Lead me to Calvary.
   • Refrain:
     Lest I forget Gethsemane,
     Lest I forget Thine agony;
     Lest I forget Thy love for me,
     Lead me to Calvary.
2. Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
   Tenderly mourned and wept;
   Angels in robes of light arrayed
   Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.
3. Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
   Come with a gift to Thee;
   Show to me now the empty tomb,
   Lead me to Calvary.
4. May I be willing, Lord, to bear
   Daily my cross for Thee;
   Even Thy cup of grief to share,
   Thou hast borne all for me.
