Harmonia Americana ‎#69

69. Angels, roll the rock away

Angels, roll the rock away,
Den of Death, resign thy prey.
See, the Saviour quits the tomb,
glowing with immortal bloom,
Glowing with immortal bloom.

Shout, shout ye seraphs; Gabriel, raise
Fame's eternal trump of praise,
Let the earth's remotest bound
Echo to the blissful sound.

Saints of God, lift up your eyes,
See the conq'rer scale the skies.
Troops of angels on the road,
Hail and sing th'incarnate God.

Heav'n unfolds its portals wide,
Matchless hero, thro' them ride.
Heav'n unfolds its portals wide,
Matchless hero, thro' them ride.

King of glory, mount thy throne,
Boundless empire is thine own.
King of glory mount thy throne,
Boundless empire is thine own.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Amen. Amen. Amen.
