The calm Of blessed night
Is on Judea's hills;
The fuIorbed moon, with cloudless light
Is sparkling their rills:
One spot above the rest
Is still and tranquil seen
The chamber, as Of something bIest,
Amidst its bowers Of green.
Around the spot, each way,
-. The figures ye may trace
- OF fmen-at-arms, in grim array,
Grding the solemn place:
Bot other bands are there
And, glistening through the gloom
LegioLs Of angels. bright and fair,
Throns TO that yvondrous tomb.
Praise be to God on high
The triumph-hour is near;
The Lord hath won the victory,
The foe is vanquished here
Dark Grave, yield up the dead
Give up thy prey thou Earth;
In death He bowed His sacred head
He springs 20 birth
Sharp was the wreath Of thorns
Around His suffering brow;
But glory rich His head adorns,
And angels crown Him
Roll yonder rock away
That bars the marble gate;
And gather in bright array
To swell the victor's state :"
'' Hail haIl hail!
The Lord is risen indeed
The curse is made Of none avail
The sons of men are freed ~
