Hymn 325

On wings of living light

Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8.

Scripture: Luke 24:6

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 keepers watching near,

At that dread sight and sound,

Fell down with sudden fear,

Like dead men, to the ground.

Your voices raise with one accord

To bless and praise your risen Lord.

3

Then rose from death’s dark gloom,

Unseen by mortal eye,

Triumphant o’er the tomb,

The Lord of earth and sky.

Your voices raise with one accord

To bless and praise your risen Lord.

4

Ye children of the light

Arise with Him, arise;

See how the Day-star bright

Is burning in the skies!

Your voices raise with one accord

To bless and praise your risen Lord.

5

Leave in the grave beneath

The old things passed away;

Buried with Him in death,

O live with Him to-day.

Your voices raise with one accord

To bless and praise your risen Lord.

6

We sing Thee, Lord divine,

With all our hearts and powers;

For we are ever Thine,

And Thou art ever ours.

Your voices raise with one accord

To bless and praise your risen Lord.
