1 HAPPY Magdalene, to whom Christ the Lord vouchsafed to’ appear! Newly risen from the tomb, Would He first be seen by her? Her by seven devils possess’d, Till His word the fiends expell’d; Quench’d the hell within her breast, All her sins and sickness heal’d. 2 Yes, to her the Master came, First His welcome voice she hears: Jesus calls her by her name, He the weeping sinner cheers, Lets her the dear task repeat, While her eyes again run o’er, Lets her wash His bleeding feet, Kiss them,
