Refrain

Thomas Scott, 1769;

Thomas Gibbons, 1775

Angels, roll the rock away!

Death, yield up the mighty Prey!

See, the Savior quits the tomb,

Glowing with immortal bloom.

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 evermore, shall be.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Christ the Lord is risen today.

Amen.
