126. On Wings of Living Light

1 On wings of living light,
At earliest dawn of day,
Came down the angel bright
And rolled the stone away.

Refrain:
Your voices raise with one accord
To bless and praise your risen Lord,
To bless and praise your risen Lord.

2 The keepers watching near,
At that dread sight and sound,
Fell down with sudden fear
Like dead men to the ground. [Refrain]

3 Then rose from death's dark gloom,
Unseen by mortal eye,
Triumphant o'er the tomb,
The Lord of earth and sky. [Refrain]
