Empty tomb, the body stolen,
or, at least, that's how it seemed;
but the reason for this vacuum
was more strange than they had dreamed.
Stones don't roll, nor caverns open,
but the dawning of this morn,
brought unreasoned understanding
to the coming light of dawn.
Verses 3-4 follow
Tune: CROSS OF JESUS; SHIPSTON
Metre: 8.7.8.7
