Let the angels gaze in silence.
Let the sons of mortals sleep.
Let the shaken earth be still again
and her sabbath keep.
Verse 2:
Let the tombs of saints be opened.
Let the faithful dead step forth.
For salvation is created
in the midst of earth.
Chorus:
For the gates of hell are broken,
and the Savior enters in,
to give light to those in the shadow of death,
and release from sin.
Verse 3:
Let the prince of darkness tremble,
and his servants cringe and flee.
Let the captive souls go forth unbound
unto jubilee.
Chorus
Verse 4:
Now for God's beloved people
there remains a sabbath rest.
For the Lord prepares a place for us
in his mansions blest.
Chorus
End:
To give light to those in the shadow of death,
and release from sin.
