Angels, Roll the Rock Away

Angels

roll the rock away

Death

yield up your migh­ty prey.

See

the Sav­ior leaves the tomb

Glowing with im­mor­tal bloom

Glowing with im­mor­tal bloom.

’Tis the Sav­ior. An­gels

raise

Fame’s eter­nal trump of praise.

Let the earth’s re­mot­est bound

Hear the joy in­spir­ing sound

Hear the joy in­spir­ing sound.

Now ye saints

lift up your eyes

Now to glo­ry see Him rise

In long tri­umph up the sky

Up to wait­ing worlds on high

Up to wait­ing worlds on high.

Heav’n dis­plays her por­tals wide

Gracious He­ro

through them ride;

King of glo­ry

mount Thy throne

Boundless em­pire is Thine own

Boundless em­pire is Thine own.

Praise Him

all ye hea­v’n­ly choirs

Praise

and sweep your gold­en lyres

Shout

O earth

in rap­tur­ous song;

Let the strains be sweet and strong

Let the strains be sweet and strong.

Every note with won­der swell

Sin o’er­thrown

and captived hell

Where is hell’s once dread­ed king?

Where

O death

thy mor­tal sting?

Where

O death

thy mor­tal sting?
