Chorus: Bright angels, bright angels, At the breaking of the day; Bright angels, bright angels, They rolled the stone away. 2.

[Chorus] 3. But Mary wept in anguish, for her heart was torn with grief; She said, "Where have you laid Him"? then the angels brought relief: He is not here, but risen, as He said to you before; Go to Galilee and see Him; He's alive forevermore." [Chorus] 4. He burst death's bars asunder, and He triumphed o'er the grave; He holds the keys of hades, the almighty One to save; "Behold my hands," said Jesus, "I'm your living Lord and King; From the grave I will redeem you; all my jewels I will bring."

We should never be discouraged, Take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful, Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness, Take it to the Lord in prayer. 3.

When the Saviour who died to redeem fallen men, And hath bro't them His glory to see, In the midst of the great ransom'd throng shall appear, I shall want then among them to be; I shall want then His beautiful face to behold, I shall want then His glory to share; And when He over all shall be crown'd King of kings, Oh, I know I shall want to be there.
