To Joseph's tomb where none had lain
They carried Him whom foes had slain.
Men set a guard; men sealed the stone;
Men left Him there to sleep alone.
The sabbath passed: the first day came,
And Mary turned to hear her name.
While Salem slept, the Mighty dead
Had risen from His rocky bed.
In Him our hope, our longing are,
Who is our bright, our Morning Star.
