lyrics

Great silence reigns on earth this day!
A great loneliness embraces all!
For death has had its ruthless way,
And captured the Savior of all.

An ocean of darkness has welled in my chest,
Just like Jonah who ran from the God who had blessed him.
And into the water I fall with a crash,
But I pray for a whale who can save.

His human body was torn apart,
But His Life and Love now flood the world.
And penetrating to its heart,
The wars of men to unfurl.

But Jesus, gone down to the darkest Hell,
Has entered in on Sabbath Rest.
In which He, in His Father’s will
Works wonders for all to be blessed.

The bonds and gates of Hell give way,
A great procession comes to sight.
Who leads them is Himself, the Way.
He is the Truth and the Life.

And oh, the darkness fades, and oh, the break of day.
And all the prisoners freed, for You have snatched the keys.
And oh, lift up your heads, for we have hope again,
For we have seen great Light. And oh!

Oh may we, Lord, who yet must die,
Who pray awaiting the great Feast
Of Your arising from the dead
Be joined with You in endless peace.
