Let the angels gaze in silence.
Let the sons of mortals sleep.
Let the shaken earth be still again,
and her sabbath keep.
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.
Let the prince of darkness tremble,
and his servants cringe and flee.
Let the captive souls go forth unbound
unto jubilee.
Now for God's beloved people
there remains a sabbath rest.
For the Lord prepares a place for us
in his mansions blest.
Ending:
To give light to those in the shadow of death,
and release from sin.
