243. On Wings of Living Light

1. 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.
   
2. Then rose from death's dark gloom,
   Unseen by mortal eye,
   Triumphant o'er the tomb,
   The Lord of earth and sky.
   Your voices raise with one accord
   To bless and praise your risen Lord.
   
3. Ye children of the light,
   Arise with Him, arise:
   See how the Day-Star bright
   Is burning in the skies!
   Your voices raise with one accord
   To bless and praise your risen Lord!
   
4. Leave in the grave beneath
   The old things passed away;
   Buried with Him in death,
   O live with Him today!
   Your voices raise with one accord
   To bless and praise your risen Lord!
