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