Angel of East­er,
Speed down thro’ the night,
Hasten the dawn with
Its glo­ri­ous light;
Roll back the sha­dows,
The stone from the tomb,
Let the bright sun­shine
Its dark­ness il­lume.

Refrain

Come, bright East­er an­gel,
On wings of love;
Tell the tid­ings glad
Of hope from above;
Singing, hal­le­lu­jah!
He lives on high!
Hail, hail, hail the Christ
Who will ne­ver die!

Bid the sweet blos­soms
Their frag­rance to lend;
Songs of re­joic­ing
His foot­steps at­tend;
Fetters are brok­en,
The bells sweet­ly chime,
Crown of the Vic­tor
Greets glad East­er time.

Refrain

Angel of East­er,
So strong and so fair,
Give to the world the
Glad mes­sage you bear;
Lighten the path­way
The Vic­tor has trod;
Earth thrills with joy at
The touch of our Lord.
