Holy Saturday
All the earth now falls silent,
All God’s sons and daughters too,
For the Christ has descended to death
That God’s Covenant with us will come true.
Such boundless love for creation,
That His Blood and Water be shed,
For ourselves and for our sins,
From damnation be won instead.
We await His rising from the dead
In breathless anticipation,
We stand vigil with faith and hope
For the coming of our salvation.
With Abraham, Moses, and David,
Our forefathers in faith and grace,
Sing praise to the Father and Son
And Spirit, thrice blest, sing praise!
Amen.
