Is any joy as great as mine?

I'm searching for the lyrics of a Lenten/Easter hymn that we used to sing at school in the early 1970s when aged 9/10 years old.
From memory it consisted of three verses. The first two were concerned with the Passion and death of Jesus and ended with the refrain:"Is Any Sorrow As Great As Mine?" (the tune followed a downward beat).
The third verse was concerned with the resurrection, beginning with the lyrics "But with the dawn the garden rocked..." and ended on an upward beat with a slightly different refrain: "Is Any Joy As Great As Mine?" which was repeated to end the hymn.
