v.4 The rising Lord forsook the tomb.

And Israel's  daughters    wept  around. 
For him who groaned beneath your load; 
The Lord of glory died for men. 
In vain the tomb forbade him rise.

A  solemn   darkness  veiled   the sky; 
He shed a thousand drops for you, 
But lo! what sudden joys were heard! 
Cherubic legions guard him home

A sudden    trembling shook   the ground. 
A thousand drops of precious blood. 
The Lord, though dead, revived again. 
And shout him welcome to the skies.
