Joseph of Arimathea
With Pilate did confer
That Friday evening when Jesus
Had died, gave life for us
He asked that he might Him bury
Pilate said, \'To it see\'
He in clean cloth wrapped the body
Laid in tomb securely
He rolled a great stone to the door
Of the rock-tomb, it sure
Was made by soldiers, they sealed stone
And set a guard, was known
Later when Jesus risen, they
Were given bribes to say
His disciples came here by night
Stole Him then from our sight
For we did sleep, did not them see
Some Jews today, so be
Believe that this was true the way
Things happened on that day
