- Angels, roll the rock away!
Death, yield up the mighty Prey!
See, the Saviour quits the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom.
Refrain
Alleluia! alleluia!
Christ the Lord is risen today. - Shout, ye seraphs; angels, raise
Your eternal song of praise;
Let the earth's remotest bound
Echo to the blissful sound. - Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Glory as of old to thee,
Now and ever more, shall be.
Amen.
