On wings of living light, At earliest dawn of day, Came down the angel bright, And rolled the stone away. | Your voices raise with one accord To bless and praise your risen Lord. | The keepers watching near, At that dread sight and sound, Fell down with sudden fear Like dead men to the ground. | Then rose from death's dark gloom, Unseen by mortal eye, Triumphant o'er the tomb, The Lord of earth and sky! | 521 O let your hearts be strong! For we, like him, shall rise, To dwell with him ere long In bliss beyond the skies. | |
