The administration of a mystery

Death beingswallowed up in victory

From the grave the soul is redeemed

Death cannot entangle as it may have seemed

Christ's purpose and grace is disclosed

Being declared since the day he arose

From dwelling silence there is immunity

Annulling death he brought immortality



Instead of sorrow if the soul does yearn

Remain being filled with comfort having no grave concern



Not left abandoned in a grave of despair

Having turned from death away from the snare

Absence from body presence with the lord

Faithfulness reaping a righteous reward
