Matt.28:1b As it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
Matt.28:2 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
Matt.28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
Matt.28:4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
Matt.28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
Matt.28:6a He is not here: He is risen.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Hearts and voices heavenward raise:
Sing to God a hymn of gladness,
Sing to God a hymn of praise:
He, who on the cross a victim,
For the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
Now is risen from the dead.
Alleluia. Amen.
