Lyics

Angels, roll the rock away;
Death yield up thy mighty prey;
See, he rises from the tomb,
Rises with immortal bloom,
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,
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,
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,
Praise him from ten thousand tongues.
