The gates and doors were barred
All the windows fastened down
The night was spent in sleeplessness
And we rose at every sound
Half in hopeless sorrow
Half in fear the day
Would find the soldiers breaking through
To drag us all away
Just before the sunrise
I heard something at the wall
The gates began to rattle
And a voice began to call
I hurried to the window
And looked down into the street
Expecting swords and torches
And the sound of soldiers' feet
There was no one there
No one there but Mary
So I went down to let her in
John stood 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"
