Hymn Context Compare
The rocks are rent; the graves are burst;
The gate stands wide, the way re­stored,
Yea, rock the cliffs, fields, floods and waves;
The sac­ri­fice is o’er,
And now Thy toil is o’er, Thy grief and pain

The veil is rent in twain

Shall man alone be mute?
Without the cloud and gloom ap­pear,
Why then are our hard hearts un­rent?
The mer­cy-seat is red
Now hast Thou laid Thee down in per­fect peace
