The gates and doors were barred
And all the windows fastened down
I spent the night in sleeplessness
And jumped at every sound
Half in hopeless sorrow
And half in fear that day
Would find the soldiers breaking through
And drag us all away
Just before the sunrise
I heard something at the wall
The gate began to rattle
And a voice began to call
I hurried to the window
Looked down into the street
Expecting swords and torches
And the sound of soldiers feet
But there was no one there but Mary
So I went down to let her in
And John stood there beside me
As she told us where she'd been
"They've moved Him in the night
And none of us knows where
The stone's been rolled away
And now His body isn't there"
(stone's been rolled away and now His body isn't there)
