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.
