“The Angel Roll the Stone Away”
The angel roll the stone away
The angel roll the stone away
‘Twas on a bright and shiny morn when the trumpet begin to sound
The angel roll the stone away
The angel roll the stone away
The angel roll the stone away
‘Twas on a bright and shiny morn when the trumpet begin to sound
The angel roll the stone away
[verses]
- Mary com a-running at the close of day / Brought the news from heaven the stone done roll away
- Looking for my Savior, tell me where he lay, High upon the mountain, the stone done roll away
The angel roll the stone away
The angel roll the stone away
‘Twas on a bright and shiny morn when the trumpet begin to sound
The angel roll the stone away
The stone done roll away.
*Smith’s draft includes a note which instructs that “the” should be sung as “de”
