Lyics

ANGELS, roll the rock away;

Death, yield up thy mighty prey:

See he rises from the tomb--

Rises with immortal bloom.



'Tis the Saviour; seraphs, raise

Your triumphant shouts of praise:

Let the earth's remotest bound

Hear the joy-inspiring sound.



Lift, ye saints, lift up your eyes;

Now to glory see him rise;

Hosts of angels on the road

Hail and sing th' incarnate God.



Praise him, all ye heavenly choirs,

Praise him with your golden lyres;

Praise him in your noblest songs;

Praise him from ten thousand tongues.
