Lo! the rock [stone] is rolled away

Lo! the rock [stone] is rolled away

Author: Thomas Scott
Tune: WILMOT (Weber)
Published in 30 hymnals

Representative Text

1 Lo! the stone is rolled away,
Death yields up his mighty prey;
Jesus, rising from the tomb,
Scatters all its fearful gloom.

2 Praise him in the noblest songs,
From ten thousand thousand tongues
Every note with rapture swell,
And the Saviour's triumph tell.

3 Let Immanuel be adored--
Ransom, Mediator, Lord!
To creation's utmost bound,
Let the eternal praise resound.

Thomas Scott was born at Norwich, and was the son of a Dissenting minister. After his education he began his ministerial life at Wartmell, in Norfolk, adding also the labours of school-teaching. Subsequently he changed his pastoral relations several times, spending the last years of his life at Hupton, in Norfolk, where he died in 1776. He was the author of some prose works, several poems, and a few hymns. --Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A., 1872… Go to person page >
