Psalter Hymnal (Red) ‎#362

362. 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 our eyes;
Now to glory see Him rise,
In long triumph through the sky,
Up to waiting worlds on high,
Up to waiting worlds on high.

3 Heaven unfolds its portals wide;
Mighty Conqueror, through them ride;
King of Glory, mount Thy throne,
Boundless empire is Thine own,
Boundless empire is Thine own.

4 Powers 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.
