A version of both tune and words is found in Ingalls’ Christian Harmony of 1805, p. 73. Its seventh and eighth stanzas, reminding of the above text, are:
When weeping Mary came to seek
Her Lord with a perfume,
The napkin and the sheet she found
Together in the tomb.
The angels said, he is not here;
He’s risen from the dead;
And streams of grace to sinners flow,
As free as did his blood.
The tune shows unmistakable family resemblance to a number of secular folk-melodies. See for example the score of ‘Daemon Lover’ tunes, Sharp, i., pp. 244-258; ‘Lady Maisry’, Sharp, i., 97; ‘Locks and Bolts’, Sharp, ii., 17; ‘Betty Anne’, Sharp, ii., 37; ‘Swing a Lady’, Sharp, ii., 379.
