The grave, wherein the Savior lay,

Their cruel mockery sustaineth,

And is unhallowed every day.

Its sorrow comes in stifled plea,--

Who saves me from this injury?

Where bides each valorous adorer?

The zeal of Christendom has gone!

Where is the ancient Faith's restorer?

Who lifts the cross and beckons on?

Who'll free the grave and rend in twain
