431. Unveil thy bosom, faithful tomb!

1 Unvail thy bosom, faithful tomb!
Take this new treasure to thy trust;
And give these sacred relics room
To seek a slumber in the dust.

2 Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear
Invade Thy bounds. No mortal woes
Can reach the peaceful sleeper here,
And angels watch his soft repose.

3 So Jesus slept;--God's dying Son
Passed through the grave and blest the bed;
Rest here blest saint, till from His throne
The morning break, and pierce the shade.

4 Break from His throne, illustrious morn;
Attend oh earth! His sovereign word;
Restore-Thy trust--a glorious form
Shall then arise to meet the Lord.
