13506. O Angel Fair

1 O angel fair of Easter dawn
Speed from thy home of glory;
With loving touch dispel the clouds,
And tell the joyful story.

Refrain:
He lives! He lives!
The joyous bells are ringing;
He lives! He lives!
Earth’ voices glad are singing;
The angel fair of Easter dawn
Proclaims the wondrous story;
The Lord is ris’n!
Rejoice! rejoice! rejoice.

2 Breathe in our hearts a hope divine,
Till stepping from our prison
Our longing souls with rapture cry,
"The Lord for us has risen!" [Refrain]

3 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. [Refrain]
