12618. Angel of Easter

1 Angel of Easter,
Speed down thro’ the night,
Hasten the dawn with
Its glorious light;
Roll back the shadows,
The stone from the tomb,
Let the bright sunshine
Its darkness illume.

Refrain:
Come, bright Easter angel,
On wings of love;
Tell the tidings glad
Of hope from above;
Singing, hallelujah!
He lives on high!
Hail, hail, hail the Christ
Who will never die!

2 Bid the sweet blossoms
Their fragrance to lend;
Songs of rejoicing
His footsteps attend;
Fetters are broken,
The bells sweetly chime,
Crown of the Victor
Greets glad Easter time. [Refrain]

3 Angel of Easter,
So strong and so fair,
Give to the world the
Glad message you bear;
Lighten the pathway
The Victor has trod;
Earth thrills with joy at
The touch of our Lord. [Refrain]
