Unvail thy bosom, faithful tomb

1

Unvail thy bosom, faithful tomb;Take this new treasure to thy trustAnd give these sacred relics roomTo slumber in the quiet dust.

2

Nor pain, nor grief, nor anxious fear,Invades thy bounds; no mortal woesCan reach the peaceful sleeper here,While angels watch the soft repose.

So Jesus slept; God's dying SonPassed through the grave, and blessed the bed:Rest here, blest saint, till from his throneThe morning break, and pierce the shade.
