In a moment, at the break of the day,
Something great happened in a lonely grave,
Guarded with trustworthy soldiers so brave,
Light so bright shone to set a famous day,
Humiliated grave could not hold its prey,
The fear-stricken guards lost their bravery,
Became victims of secret bribery,
Oh, greedy grave where is your well-kept prey?
Death was conquered by the Author of Life,
In vain, the grave could not show its power,
The Scripture was well-fulfilled in Christ’s time,
Jesus is the way, the truth and the life,
He rose from the grave with mighty power,
And saved a sinner like me in due time.
