The Resurrection Day

As broke the long and hea­vy night

While trem­bling guards fell with af­fright

An an­gel fair

in gar­ments white

Came down where Je­sus lay;

An an­gel fair

in gar­ments white

And rolled the rock away

And rolled the rock away

And rolled the rock away.

And Christ arose and left the tomb

The grave He robbed of all its gloom

And earth put on her robes of bloom

To greet again her Lord;

And earth put on her robes of bloom

To greet again her Lord;

To greet again her Lord

To greet again her Lord.

And so our trib­utes glad we bring

And sweet­est car­ols do we sing

In praise of Christ

our vi­ctor king

This re­sur­rect­ion day;

In praise of Christ

our vic­tor king

This re­sur­rect­ion day

This re­sur­rect­ion day

This re­sur­rect­ion day.
