This Solitary Tomb

.                                                          This solitary tomb,
                                                      A sight of fear and gloom.
                                                  Where mortals fear and quake,
                                                From the death they cannot shake.
                                             When by this                                 stone 'tis sealed,
                                            Surely doom                                is quickly revealed.
                                           Though here                                they put such a One,
                                          Who claimed                                 He was God's Son.
                                         Even though the                                 stone was set,
                                                       He won victory over death.
