Lyics

The angels that watch'd round the tomb

Where low the Redeemer was laid,

When deep in mortality's gloom

He hid for a season his head,

Have witness'd his rising, and swept

The chords with the triumphs of joy.

That veil'd their fair face while he slept,

And ceased their sweet harps to employ,
