"He... keepeth thy soul.... Lay not wait, O wicked man, against the dwelling of the righteous; spoil not His resting place: for a just man... riseth up again" (Proverbs 24:12-16).
Lay not wait, O wicked man,
Against the soul the Lord will keep;
God shall overturn your plan
And will defend His precious sheep.
The guards once waited at the grave,
Supposing Christ would never rise:
This promise that our Savior gave
Was then performed before their eyes.
O Lord, our Resting Place sublime,
Our Refuge, and our dearest Friend,
The wicked only waste their time
Against the souls that You defend!
