O Angel Fair

O an­gel fair of East­er dawn

Speed from thy home of glo­ry;

With lov­ing touch dis­pel the clouds

And tell the joy­ful sto­ry.

He lives! He lives!

The joy­ous bells are ring­ing;

He lives! He lives!

Earth’s voic­es glad are sing­ing;

The an­gel fair of East­er dawn

Proclaims the won­drous sto­ry;

The Lord is ris’n!

Rejoice! re­joice! re­joice.

Breathe in our hearts a hope di­vine

Till step­ping from our pri­son

Our long­ing souls with rap­ture cry

The Lord for us has ris­en!

Our Je­sus lives who once was dead

Death’s gates are op­en swing­ing;

Thro’ all the world

O an­gel fair

Thy mes­sage sweet is ring­ing.
