LyicsANGELS, roll the rock away;
Death, yield up thy mighty prey:
See, the Saviour leaves the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom.
Hark! the wondering angels raise
Louder notes of joyful praise:
Let the earth's remotest bound
Echo with the blissful sound.
Now, ye saints, lift up your eyes;
See him high in glory rise:
Ranks of angels, on the road,
Hail him-the incarnate God.
Heaven unfolds its portals wide:
See the Conqueror through them ride
King of glory, mount thy throne-
Boundless empire is thine own.
