Poems (Angier)/Rabboni

​
RABBONI.
Mary! Rabboni! ah, those words, The heart with gladness filling;They check the tear, calm every fear, Each throb of anguish stilling.            Rabboni.
Grief's surging sea, ah, who but He Could stay its wild commotion?What voice but Thine can bid light shine On life's dark, troubled ocean?            Rabboni.
Mary! Rabboni! buried love Here finds a resurrection;No more need gloom enshroud the tomb When angels lend protection,            Rabboni.
Mary! Rabboni! mourner, knowThe one you've lost, and longed for so,May linger near, as by the sideOf Mary stood the crucified            Rabboni.
​
Mary! Rabboni! ah, those words—They touch the bosom's tenderest chords,They tell of life beyond the grave—Of hope through Him who came to save.            Rabboni.
