On Easter Morn Ere Break Of Day Sung by the Greek Church at Lauds on Easter Day Melody: The Bashful Lover
This is a jolly tune, being almost a hornpipe so goes along at a fair pace. But the words are from the Greek Church, traditionally sung at Easter. It describes the three Marys arriving at Christ's tomb and finding him gone. But this is a tremendous thing as the Bible foretold Christ's ressurection for the good of all mankind.
The music was set to a poem by Robert Burns On a bank of flowers ae simmer day.
