2 That vailed their fair face while he slept,

And ceased their sweet harps to employ,

Have witnessed his rising, and swept

The chords with the triumphs of joy.

3 You saints, who once languished below,

But long since have entered your rest,

I pant to be glorified too,

To lean on Immanuel’s breast.

4 The grave in which Jesus was laid

Has buried my guilt and my fears;
