| |
ANGELS twain were sitting | |
| In the vacant tomb; | |
| Lights of day were flitting | |
| Through its silent gloom; | |
| Angels brightly shining, | 5 |
| Light of common day, | |
| Mingling and entwining | |
| Where the Saviour lay. | |
| |
| Often in our sorrow | |
| Angels may be seen, | 10 |
| When we look to-morrow | |
| Where our griefs had been; | |
| And the angels holy | |
| Whisper us and say, | |
| Lo! the Meek and Lowly | 15 |
| Plucked the sting away. | |
| |
| Sweet is all the bitter, | |
| Blessed is the night, | |
| When the angels glitter | |
| In the morning light, | 20 |
| To the common duty | |
| Bidding us away, | |
| For Jesus in His beauty | |
| Will meet us by the way. | | | | |
