Hymn 169
On wings of living light,
- mf On wings of living light,
At earliest dawn of day.
Came down the angel bright,
cr And rolled the stone away,
fYour voices raise with one accord,
To bless and praise your risen
- mf The keepers watching near.
At that dread sight and sound
Fell down with sudden fear.
Like dead men, to the ground,
- cr Then rose from death's dark gloom.
Unseen by mortal eye.
Triumphant o'er the tomb,
The Lord of earth and sky.
- cr Ye children of the light
Arise with Him, arise;
See how the Day-star bright
Is burning in the skies!
- mp Leave in the grave beneath.
The old things passed away;
Buried with Him in death,
O live with Him to-day.
- We sing Thee, Lord divine.
With all our hearts and powers;
For we are ever Thine,
And Thou art ever ours.
Christly Living
