The Lord is risen.
Luke 24:34

If you know where to get a better photo of Tillotson,
Angels from Heaven a carol are singing,
Wonderful tidings of joy from above;
Down thro’ the dawn their sweet message is ringing,
Telling the news of marvelous love.
Refrain
Jesus is risen, our Savior is risen!
Sing, Easter angels, and teach us your song;
Jesus is risen, our Savior is risen!
Praise and dominion to Him shall belong.
Angels immortal, in garments of glory,
White-robed and shining with light from on high,
Chant their glad message, proclaiming the story,
Spreading the word thro’ earth and the sky.
Refrain
Angels of glory, O messengers royal,
Speak to us here, and your tidings impart!
Teach us to praise Him, to ever be loyal,
Be He alone enthroned in each heart.
