Hymn 117
On wings of living light
1. On wings of living light,
At earliest dawn of day,
Came down the angel bright,
And rolled the stone away,
Your voices raise
With one accord,
To bless and praise
Your risen Lord.
2. The keeper watching near,
At that dread sight and sound,
Fell down with sudden fear,
Like dead men, to the ground.
3. Then rose from death’s dark gloom,
Unseen by mortal eye,
Triumphant o’er the tomb,
The Lord of earth and sky.
4. Ye children of the light,
Arise with Him, arise;
See how the Daystar bright
Is burning in the skies!
5. Leave in the grave beneath
The old things passed away;
Buried with Him in death,
O live with Him today.
6. We sing Thee, Lord Divine,
With all our hearts and powers;
For we are ever Thine,
And Thou art ever ours.
