Text: | Angel, roll the rock away |
Author: | Thomas Scott |
Tune: | EASTER HYMN |
1 Angel, roll the rock away;
Death, yield up thy mighty prey:
See, He rises from the tomb,
Glowing in immortal bloom!
2 'Tis the Savior! angels, raise
Fame's eternal trump of praise;
Let the earth's remotest bound
Hear the joy-inspiring sound.
3 Heav'n displays its portals wide;
Glorious Hero, through them ride:
King of glory! mount Thy throne,
Thy great Father's and Thine own.
4 Host of heav'n, seraphic fires!
Raptured, sweep your sounding lyres,
Sons of men! in humbler strain
Sing your mighty Savior's reign.
5 Every note with wonder swell;
Sin o'erthrown, and captive hell!
Where is now, O death! Thy sting?
Where thy terrors, vanquished king?
