¶Lyrics / Text

Thou art gone to the grave - but we will not deplore thee, Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb; The Saviour has pass'd thro' its portals before thee, and the lamp of his love is thy guide thro' the gloom. Thou art gone to the grave - but 'twere wrong to deplore thee, When God was thy ransom, and guardian, and guide; He gave thee, and took thee, and soon will restore thee, Where death hath no sting, since the Saviour hath died.
