Angel of Easter

Angel of East­er

Speed down thro’ the night

Hasten the dawn with

Its glo­ri­ous light;

Roll back the sha­dows

The stone from the tomb

Let the bright sun­shine

Its dark­ness il­lume.

Come

bright East­er an­gel

On wings of love;

Tell the tid­ings glad

Of hope from above;

Singing

hal­le­lu­jah!

He lives on high!

Hail

hail

hail the Christ

Who will nev­er die!

Bid the sweet blos­soms

Their frag­rance to lend;

Songs of re­joic­ing

His foot­steps at­tend;

Fetters are brok­en

The bells sweet­ly chime

Crown of the Vic­tor

Greets glad East­er time.

Angel of East­er

So strong and so fair

Give to the world the

Glad mes­sage you bear;

Lighten the path­way

The Vic­tor has trod;

Earth thrills with joy at

The touch of our Lord.
