Angels, roll the rock away,
Death, yield up thy mighty prey:
See the Saviour quits the tomb,
Glowing with immortal bloom.
Hallelujah!
Shout ye seraphs; Gabriel, raise
Fame's eternal trump of praise;
Let the earth's remotest bound
Echo to the blissful sound.
Hallelujah!
Now, ye saints, lift up your eyes,
See the conqueror mount the skies;
Troops of angels on the road,
Hail, and sing th' incarnate God.
Hallelujah!
Heaven unfolds her portals wide,
Glorious hero, through them ride;
King of glory, mount thy throne,
Boundless empire is thine own.
Hallelujah!
Praise him, ye celestial choirs,
Praise, and sweep your golden lyres;
Praise him in the noblest songs,
From ten thousand, thousand tongues.
Hallelujah!
Every note to rapture swell:
Sing the powers of death and hell
Dragged in chains behind his wheels,
Each the wreck eternal feels.
Hallelujah!
Let Immanuel be adored,
Ransom, mediator, Lord;
To creation's utmost bound,
Let th' immortal praise resound.
Hallelujah!
