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 it portals wide,
Mighy 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 heav'n, 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.
