EN 265 The Grave Itself a Garden Is

1Sam.2.6

Versi Version 1

1

The grave itself a garden is,

Where loveliest flowers abound;

Since Christ, our never fading Life,

Sprang from that holy ground.

2

O give us grace to die to sin,

That we, O Lord, may have

So holy, happy rest in Thee,

A Sabbath in the grave.

3

Thou, Lord, baptized in Thine own blood,

And buried in the grave,

Didst raise Thyself to endless life,

Omnipotent to save.

4

Baptized into Thy death we died,

And buried were with Thee,

That we might fly with Thee to God,

And ever blest might be.

5

Lord, through the grave and gate of death

May we, with Thee, arise

To an eternal Easter day

Of glory in the skies!
