There was a little family
That lived in Bethany;
Two sisters and their
brother
Composed a family.
They lived in peace and pleasure
For a many a long
years;
They laid away their treasures
Beyond this vale of tears.
Yet, while
they lived so happy.
So pure, so kind and good,
Their brother was afflicted
And rued
life throned in bed.
The news came to the sisters.
Laid Lazarus in the tomb
And
prayed for to comfort
And drive away their gloom.
When Jesus heard the
tidings
Low in the distant land,
So slowly did he travel
To meet that lonely
band.
When Jesus was a-coming,
Mary met Him on the way
And told Him how her
brother
Had died and passed away.
He cheered her and He blessed her
And told
her not to weep,
For in Him was the power
To wake him from his sleep.
When He
was coming nigher,
Marthy ran and met Him too
And at His feet a-weeping
Rehearsed the
tale of woe.
When Jesus saw her weeping,
He fell a-weeping too
And wept until
they showed him
Where Lazarus laid in tomb.
He rolled away the cover
And walked
upon the ground
Within full life and vigor
He walked upon the ground.
So if we
but love Jesus
And do His Holy will,
Like Marthy and Mary
And Lazarus use it
well.
From death He will redeem us
And take us to the sky
And bids live
forever
Where pleasure never dies.
From Southern Folk Ballads, McNeil. Collected
from Mrs. Hogan, TN,
