[Can the grave a Christian scare]

Then cometh Simon Peter...and went into the, &c. —xx. 6.

Can the grave a Christian scare
Yawning like destruction's pit?
No undying worms are there,
Free from dread he enters it;
In the place where Christ was laid,
Calm he lays his body down,
Through the grave pursues his Head,
Through the cross obtains the crown.
