As it Began to Dawn [Out of Print]

As it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And behold, there was a great earthquake: for the Angel of the Lord descended from heav’n. and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men. And the angel answered and said unto the women: “Fear not ye, fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here, He is risen, He is risen from the dead.” Shout, ye seraphs; angels, raise Your eternal song of praise; Let the earth’s remotest bound Echo to the blissful sound. Alleluia, alleluia! Christ the Lord is ris’n today, alleluia! Christ the Lord is ris’n today.
