On Wings of Living Light

On wings of liv­ing light

At ear­lie­st dawn of day

Came down the an­gel bright;

And rolled the stone away.

Your voices raise with one ac­cord

To bless and praise your ris­en Lord!

To bless and praise your ris­en Lord!

The keep­ers watch­ing near

At that dread sight and sound;

Fell down with sud­den fear

Like dead men to the ground.

Then rose from death’s dark gloom

Unseen by mor­tal eye

Triumphant o’er the tomb

The Lord of earth and sky!

Ye child­ren of the light

Arise with Him

arise;

See

how the Day-star bright

Is burning in the skies!

Leave in the grave be­neath

The old things passed away;

Buried with Him in death

O live with Him to­day.

Oh

let your hearts be strong!

For we

like Him

shall rise;

To dwell with Him ere long

In bliss be­yond the skies!

We sing Thee

Lord di­vine

With all our hearts and pow­ers;

For we are ev­er Thine;

And Thou art ev­er ours.
