Telling the old story
Was Golgotha's soil sad
Did it weep for the blood?
Which dripped on the good earth
Cedars and olives bud
Telling the old story
They laid Him in the tomb
Did the rocky cave grieve?
Surprised when He arose
Did Godly dead perceive?
Telling the old story
Was it a sunrise bright?
Did He rise at daybreak?
Was the morn chilled and still
Or a quiet earthquake
Telling the old story
Did doves softly coo
Were ewes then lambing
Or were they grazing hills
Were shepherds' gates slamming
