Today a tomb hold him who holds all creation in his palm
‘Let creation rejoice, let all born of earth be glad; for Hell, the enemy, has been despoiled; let women come to meet me with sweet spices; for I am rescuing Adam and Eve with all their race, and on the third day I shall rise again."
Today a tomb hold him who holds all creation in his palm. A stone covers him who
covered the heavens with glory. Life sleeps and Hell trembles and Adam is being released
from his bonds. Glory to your dispensation, through which you have accomplished all things
and granted us an eternal Sabbath rest, your resurrection from the dead!
