Still thy sorrow, Magdalena! Wipe the tear-drops from thine eyes; Not at Simon's board thou kneelest, Pouring thy repentant sighs: All with thy glad heart rejoices; All things sing with happy voices, Hallelujah! Laugh with rapture, Magdalena! Be thy drooping forehead bright; Banished now is every anguish, Breaks anew thy morning light; Christ from death the world hath freed; He is risen, is risen indeed: Hallelujah! Joy! exult, O Magdalena! He hath burst the rocky prison; Ended are the days of darkness: Conqueror hath He arisen. Mourn no more the Christ departed; Run to welcome Him, gladhearted: Hallelujah! Lift thine eyes, O Magdalena! See! thy living Master stands; See His face, as ever, smiling; See those wounds upon His hands, On His feet, His sacred side, Gems that deck the Glorified: Hallelujah! Live, now live, O Magdalena! Shining is thy newborn day; Let thy bosom pant with pleasure, Death's poor terror flee away; Far from thee and tears of sadness, Welcome love, and welcome gladness!
