Author: Lizzie DeArmond Hymnal: The Voice of Praise #218 (1904) Hymnal Title: The Voice of Praise First Line: Angel of Easter, speed down thro' the night Refrain First Line: Come, bright Easter angel Lyrics: 1 Angel of Easter, speed down thro' the night,
Hasten the dawn with its glorious light;
Roll back the shadows, the stone from the tomb,
Let the bright sunshine its darkness illume.
Chorus:
Come, bright Easter angel, on wings of love;
Tell the tidings glad of hope from above;
Singing, hallelujah! He lives on high!
Hail, hail, hail the Christ who will never die!
2 Bid the sweet blossoms their fragrance to lend;
Songs of rejoicing his footsteps attend;
Fetters are broken, the bells sweetly chime,
Crown of the victor greets glad Easter time. [Chorus]
3 Angel of Easter, so strong and so fair,
Give to the world the glad message you bear;
Lighten the pathway the victor has trod;
Earth thrills with joy at the touch of our Lord. [Chorus] Tune Title: [Angel of Easter, speed down thro' the night]
