Let Youth Praise Him ‎#92

92. Angels, Roll the Rock Away

1 Angels, roll the rock away,
Death, yield up thy mighty prey,
See, the Savior leaves the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom,
Glowing with immortal bloom.

2 Saints on earth, lift up your eyes,
Now to glory see Him rise,
In long triumph thro' the sky,
Up to waiting worlds on high,
Up to waiting worlds on high.

3 Heav'n unfolds its portals wide;
Mighty Conqu'ror, thro' them ride,
King of glory, mount Thy throne,
Boundless empire is Thine own,
Boundless empire is Thine own.

4 Pow'rs of heaven, seraphic choirs,
Sing and sweep your golden lyres,
Sons of men, in humbler strain,
Sing your mighty Savior's reign,
Sing your mighty Savior's reign.

Amen.
