In a grave they laid thee, O my Life and my Christ: And the armies of the angels were sore amazed, As they sang the praise of thy submissive love. How, O Life, canst thou die? In a grave how canst thou dwell? For the proud domain of death thou now destroyest, And the dead of Hades thou makest to rise. O my dear Christ Jesus, King and Ruler of all, Why to them that dwelt in Hades didst thou descend? Was it not to set the race of mortals free?
