Lyics

ANGELS! 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 your eyes,

See Him high in glory rise!

Ranks of angels, on the road,

Hail Him--the incarnate God.
