Where once the Crucified was borne,

And vailed in midnight gloom!

Oh! weep no more the Saviour slain;

The Lord is risen—he lives again.

2 Ye mourning saints! dry every tear

For your departed Lord;

“Behold the place—he is not here;”

The tomb is all unbarred:

The gates of death were closed in vain,

The Lord is risen—he lives again.
