Angels! roll the rock away

1Angels! roll the rock away; Death! yield up thy mighty prey;
See! the Saviour leaves the tomb, Glowing with immortal bloom.

2Hark! the wondering angels raise Louder notes of joyful praise;
Let the earth's remotest bound Echo with the blissful sound.

3Saints on earth lift up your eyes; Now to glory see him rise;
In long triumph through the sky, Up to waiting worlds on high.

4Heaven unfolds its portals wide! Mighty Conqueror! through them ride;
King of glory! mount thy throne, Boundless empire is thine own.
