Into the dim earth�s lowest parts
descending,
And bursting by Thy might
the infernal chain
That bound the prisoners,
Thou, at three days� ending,
As Jonah from the whale,
hast risen again.
Thou brakest not the seal,
Thy surety�s token,
Arising from the tomb
Who left�st in birth
The portals of virginity unbroken,
Opening the gates of Heaven
to sons of earth.
Thou, Sacrifice ineffable and living,
Didst to the Father by Thyself atone
As God eternal: resurrection giving
To Adam, general parent, by Thine own.
