Lyics

WHEN we the sacred grave survey,

In which our Saviour deign'd to lie,

We see fulfill'd what prophets say,

And all the power of death defy.



Then, though in dust we lay our head,

Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave

Our flesh forever with the dead,

Nor love thy children in the grave.
