What stone upon your heart brings pain or grief?
Love's angel thoughts are here to give relief.
Dark caves of sense would hide Christ in a tomb,
Would bury him inside a rock-ribbed room.
But rays of Truth flood empty graves with light,
To show that Love has conquered death and night.
Though thoughts of error shroud you, Christ is here
To lift the stones of loneliness or fear.
When thoughts of error all are rolled away,
We have, indeed, a resurrection day!
