Matthew 28:2–4: Behold, there was a great earthquake, &c

Omnipotence alone
Can roll away the stone,
The mountain-bar remove.
The obstacle to love.
The rock of infidelity,
And let my Lord arise in me.

O that this earth might quake,
And all the keepers shake!
O might I feel the fear
Which speaks my Saviour near!
Let nature now as dead become,
While Jesus rises from the tomb.

Even now a sketch I see
Of Jesus' victory,
My rising Lord I feel.
Who shakes both earth and hell,
His foes as slaves, aghast, submit,
And death expires beneath His feet!
