Mark 16:4
-
[Mar 16:4] Angels, Roll The Rock Away
Angels, roll the rock away,
Death, yield up your mighty Prey.
See, the Savior leaves the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom,
Glowing with immortal bloom.Shout, ye seraphs! Gabriel, raise
Fame’s eternal trump of praise.
Let the world’s remotest bound
Hear the joy inspiring sound,
Hear the joy inspiring sound.Saints on earth, lift up your eyes
Now to glory see Him rise,
In long triumph up the sky,
Up to waiting worlds on high,
Up to waiting worlds on high.Heaven unfolds its portals wide,
Gracious Hero, through them ride;
King of glory, mount Thy throne,
Boundless empire is Thine own,
Boundless empire is Thine own.Praise Him, ye celestial choirs,
Praise, and sweep your golden lyres,
Shout, O earth, in rapturous song;
Let the strains be sweet and strong,
Let the strains be sweet and strong.Every note with wonder swell,
Sin o’erthrown, and captived hell,
Where is hell’s once dreaded king?
Where, O death, thy mortal sting?
Where, O death, thy mortal sting?or
Hail! victorious Jesus, hail!
On Thy cloud of glory sail
In long triumph through the sky,
Up to waiting worlds on high,
Up to waiting worlds on high.Heaven unfolds its portals wide,
Glorious Hero, through them ride:
King of glory mount Thy throne,
Thy great Father’s, and Thine own,
Thy great Father’s, and Thine own.Praise Him all ye heavenly choirs,
Raptured, sweep your sounding lyres
Sons of men, in humbler strain,
Sing your mighty Savior’s reign,
Sing your mighty Savior’s reign.Every note with wonder swell;
Sin o’erthrown, and captived hell!
Where is now, O death! thy sting?
Where thy terrors, vanquished king,
Where thy terrors, vanquished king!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mar 16:4] Ere Yet The Dawn Has Filled The Skies
Ere yet the dawn has filled the skies,
Behold, my Savior Christ arise;
He chaseth from us sin and night,
And brings us joy and life and light.O stronger Thou than death and hell!
Where is the foe Thou canst not quell,
What heavy stone Thou canst not roll
From off the prisoned, anguished soul?If Jesus lives, can I be sad?
I know He loves me, and am glad;
Though all the world were dead to me,
Enough, O Christ, if I have Thee!He feeds me, comforts and defends,
And when I die His angel sends
To bear me whither He is gone,
For of His own He loseth none.Strong Champion! For this comfort, see,
The whole world brings her thanks to Thee;
And once we, too, shall raise above
More sweet and loud the song of love.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mar 16:4] Joy, Joy, Immortal Joy
Joy, joy, immortal joy!
The Lord is ris’n to reign;
On Easter day, the Scriptures say,
Christ rose to life again.
On Easter day, the Scriptures say,
Christ rose to life again.Joy, deep and living joy!
The stone is rolled away;
The empty tomb has lost its gloom,
The night has turned to day.
The empty tomb hast lost its gloom,
The night has turned to day.Joy, pure and sacred joy!
Let men and angels sing;
Let every voice in song rejoice
To praise our Lord and King.
Let every voice in song rejoice
To praise our Lord and King.Joy, rich and endless joy!
High Heav’n the praise prolong;
Let holy joy all tongues employ
And fill the world with song.
Let holy joy all tongues employ
And fill the world with song.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mar 16:4] On Wings Of Living Light
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!The keepers watching near,
At that dread sight and sound;
Fell down with sudden fear
Like dead men to the ground.Refrain
Then rose from death’s dark gloom,
Unseen by mortal eye,
Triumphant o’er the tomb,
The Lord of earth and sky!Refrain
Ye children of the light,
Arise with Him, arise;
See, how the Day-star bright
Is burning in the skies!Refrain
Leave in the grave beneath
The old things passed away;
Buried with Him in death,
O live with Him today.Refrain
Oh, let your hearts be strong!
For we, like Him, shall rise;
To dwell with Him ere long
In bliss beyond the skies!Refrain
We sing Thee, Lord divine,
With all our hearts and powers;
For we are ever Thine;
And Thou art ever ours.Refrain
