Holy Saturday: Christ in His Blessed Sleep, Christ descended into the realm of the dead,

Jesus' Death!

But with a Blessed Sleep,

From which His earthly life ended;

My Lord in the tomb,

A quiet and placid repose,

Unbroken by the last of foes.

Jesus in the tomb!

Peaceful Rest,

Whose waking is mightily blessed;

No fear, no suffering,

Shall obscure that hour,

That manifests the Saviour’s power,

My Crucified Christ,

Hope to Resurrection He waits.
