LyicsAngels! roll the rock away;
Death! yield up thy mighty prey;
See! the Savior leaves the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom.
Hark! the wondering 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.
Heaven unfolds its portals wide,
See the Conqueror through them ride!
King of glory! mount thy throne--
Boundless empire is thine own.
