"For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption..."

"For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison..." 1 Peter 3:18-19

Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Saviour,
waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord...

Vainly they watch his bed, Jesus my Saviour,
vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord...

Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Saviour;
he tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord...

- Robert Lowry, 1874
