Angels, roll the rock away

And the angel said unto them:

"Fear not ye, for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

He is not here, for He is risen, as He said,

He is risen, as He said."

Angels, roll the rock away,

Death yield up the mighty prey;

See, the Savior quit the tomb

Glowing with immortal bloom.

Alleluia, Alleluia, Christ the Lord, is ris'n today,

Alleluia, Alleluia, Christ the Lord, is ris'n today!

When the Lord lay in the tomb,

And the Earth was veiled in gloom,

Choirs unseen by mortal eyes,

Chanted softly in the skies,

"Alleluia, Alleluia, Christ the Lord, is ris'n today,

Christ the Lord, is ris'n today."

Shout ye seraphs angels, raise

Your eternal song of praise,

Alleluia, Alleluia, Christ the Lord, is ris'n today.

Let the earth's remotest bound

Echo to the blissful sound,

Alleluia, Alleluia, Christ the Lord, is ris'n today.

Alleluia...
