On Wings Of Living Light

by WILLIAM WALSHAM HOW, 1823-97.

On Wings Of Living Light
"And for fear of Him the keepers did shake". Matt 28:4
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.
The keepers watching near.
At that dread sight and sound.
Fell down with sudden fear,
Like dead men, to the ground.
Then rose from death's gloom,
Unseen by mortal eye.
Triumphant o'er the tomb.
The Lord of earth and sky.
Ye children of the light,
Arise with Him, arise;
See how the Daystar bright
Is burning in the skies
We sing thee, Lord Divine.
With all our heart and powers
For we are ever thine,
And thou art ever ours
