  1. 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.
  2. Shout, ye seraphs; angels, raise
    Your eternal song of praise;
    Let the earth's remotest bound
    Echo to the blissful sound.
  3. Holy Father, Holy Son,
    Holy Spirit, Three in One,
    Glory as of old to thee,
    Now and ever more, shall be.
    Amen.
