<p>God hath sent His angels to the earth again,<br>
Bringing joyful tidings to the sons of men;<br>
They who first at Christmas thronged the heavenly way,<br>
Now beside the tomb door sit on Easter day.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p class="refrain">Angels, sing His triumph as you sang His birth,<br>
&#8220;Christ the Lord is risen, peace, goodwill on earth!&#8221;</p>
<p>In the dreadful desert, where the Lord was tried,<br>
There the faithful angels gathered at His side;<br>
And when, in the garden, grief and pain and care<br>
Bowed Him down with anguish, they were with Him there.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>Yet the Christ they honor is the same Christ still<br>
Who, in light and darkness, did His Father&#8217;s will;<br>
And the tomb, deserted, shineth like the sky,<br>
Since He passed from out it, into victory.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
<p>God has still His angels, helping at His word,<br>
All His faithful children, like their faithful Lord;<br>
Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife,<br>
Opening wide the tomb doors, leading into life.</p>
<p class="refrain">Refrain</p>
