Lyrics

Now in the tomb is laid,

who in the wide world walked,

and talked with one and all.

Now in the tomb is laid.

​

Now in the tomb is laid,

who told the sparrow’s worth,

the lily’s praises said.

Now in the tomb is laid.

​

Perfect, no wound nor mark!

By thine own hardest hour,

do live within my heart.

Perfect, no wound nor mark!
