Low in the grave He sleeps, Cold in the tomb; Now o’er my Savior sweeps Death’s sable gloom;

Closed are His pilgrim toils, Suffering One; Death now around Him coils, God’s only Son.

Just as the dawn is seen, With anxious feet, Comes Mary Magdalene, With spices sweet.

Jesus has conquered death, Shout the glad strain! Bursted its mighty bars, Risen to reign.

Hark! I hear an angel voice: He is not here, He’s risen. Glory, glory! shout the joyful strain! Christ is risen, evermore to reign! Hallelujah! shout with every breath! Christ has triumphed over death.
