BY Jesus' grave on either hand,
While night is brooding o'er the land.
The sad and silent mourners stand.
2 At last the weary life is o'er,
The agony and conflict sore
Of him who all our sufferings bore.
3 Deep in the rock's sepulchral shade
The Lord, by whom the world was made,
The Saviour of mankind, is laid
4. O hearts bereaved and sore distrest,
Here is for you a place of rest;
Here leave your griefs on Jesus’ breast.
EASTER
