Full Lyrics
Thou art gone to the gravebut 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 gravebut '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.
