LyicsAngels, roll the rock away,
Death, yield up thy mighty prey;
See the Saviour quits the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom.
Shout, ye seraphs - Gabriel rais'd
Fame's eternal trump of praise;
Let the earth's remotest bound
Echo to the blissful sound.
Now ye saints, lift up your eyes,
See, the conqu'ror mount the skies;
Troops of angels on the road
Hail and sing the risen Lord.
Heaven unfolds her portals wide,
Glorious Hero thro' them ride;
King of glory, mount thy throne,
Boundless empire is thine own.
Praise him, ye celestial choirs,
Praise, and sweep your golden lyres;
Praise him in the noblest songs,
From ten thousand thoussand tongues.
Let Immanuel be ador'd
Ransom, Mediator, Lord;
To creation's utmost bound
Let the immortal praise resound.
