Hark! Bright Angels Sweetly Sing

Hark! bright an­gels sweet­ly sing

In the glo­ri­ous East­er sky

How from death the Lord our king

Rose hence­forth no more to die

Rose hence­forth no more to die.

Vainly sol­diers tried to hold

Holy Je­sus in the grave

Sealed the stone

as they were told

At the en­trance to the cave

At the en­trance to the cave.

For on this day

Je­sus said

He would rise in tri­umph high;

Rise all glo­ri­ous from the dead

Clothed with light and ma­jes­ty

Clothed with light and ma­jes­ty.

We must die as Je­sus died

But we hope with Him to rise—

And in bo­dies glo­ri­fied

Reign with Him be­yond the skies

Reign with Him be­yond the skies.

Alleluia! ev­er­more

Alleluia! an­gels sing

Alleluia! we ad­ore

Thee

O Christ

our God

and king

Thee

O Christ

our God

and king!
