Did He come down and enter? None can tell.
O wondrous mystery! for man too deep;

It may be as a man, in dreams of peace
Was dimly 'ware the ransom'd world's release,

It may be as a man, in dreams of peace
Was dimly 'ware the ransom'd world's release,

And knew He lived again and will'd to wake,
Whisper'd the sealèd stone and bade it break;
When, like a flash of lightning fall'n from heaven,
An angel answer'd as the word was given.
Whisper'd the sealèd stone and bade it break;
When, like a flash of lightning fall'n from heaven,
An angel answer'd as the word was given.

Flee from the quaking rocks, the dazzling light;
And other angels light on His cold floor,
And minister, and marvel, and adore.
Flee from the quaking rocks, the dazzling light;
And other angels light on His cold floor,
And minister, and marvel, and adore.
