20. Angels, roll the rock away

1 Angels, roll the rock away,
Death, yield up the mighty prey:
See! he rises from the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom.
Hallelujah.

2 'Tis the Savior, Angels, raise
Fame's eternal trump of praise;
Let the earth's remotest bound
Hear the joy-inspiring sound.
Hallelujah.

3 Now, ye saints, lift up your eyes,
Now to glory see him rise,
In long triumph up the sky,
Up to waiting worlds on high.
Hallelujah.

4 Heaven displays her portals wide,
Glorious hero, through them ride;
King of glory, mount thy throne,
Thy great Father's and thy own.
Hallelujah!

5 Praise him all ye heavenly choirs,
Praise, and sweep your golden lyres;
Shout, O earth, in rapturous song,
Let the strains be sweet and strong.
Hallelujah.

6 Every note with wonder swell,
Sin o'erthrown, and captiv'd hell;
Where is hell's once dreaded king!
Where, O death, thy mortal sting!
Hallelujah
