Who Rolled The Stone Away Lyrics

Rough was the way, and dark, and cold, By which the wo­men came of old, Seeking the grave where Je­sus lay, Upon the first great East­er Day.

Their hearts were filled with grief and fear, And as their trem­bling steps drew near, In whis­pered words we hear them say, But who shall roll the stone away?

Our fee­ble women’s strength alone Can ne­ver move that weigh­ty stone; Our jour­ney will be all in vain, We ne’er shall see our Lord again.

But still with love that lin­gers not, They press to­wards the sac­red spot, Where, rest­ing in mys­te­ri­ous sleep, The Sav­ior lies, for whom they weep.

And toil­ing on­wards through the gloom, They reach at last the roc­ky tomb, Just as the first faint streak of dawn Is break­ing on that East­er morn.

What is this sight that greets their eyes? No sun­shine stream­ing from the sky, But beau­te­ous an­gels clothed in white, And beam­ing with ce­les­ti­al light.

In ten­der­est tones the an­gels said, Why seek the liv­ing with the dead? Christ the Lord is ris­en to­day, Come see the place where Je­sus lay.

And look­ing up, but not with fear, Those ho­ly women drew more near; Till, in the light of East­er Day, They saw the stone was rolled away.

Christians, re­joice! Take heart of grace, All ye who seek the Sav­ior’s face, There may be moun­tains in the way, But God will roll each stone away.

It needs, per­haps, an earth­quake’s shock To move the ada­man­tine rock; Or else His love, if so He please, Can work by slow and sure de­grees.

Leave it to Him to choose the means; Each ob­sta­cle that in­ter­venes Shall van­ish like that migh­ty stone, And God be glo­ri­fied alone.

Nothing can be too hard for One Who gave His own be­lov­èd Son To die for man, and from the grave To rise om­ni­po­tent to save.

Only be­lieve, and ye shall see How won­der­ful His work will be; Bidding each doubt and fear to cease, And all be love, and joy and peace.

So let us all loud an­thems sing To Christ the Lord, our hea­ven­ly king, Who on this glo­ri­ous East­er Day, Hath rolled the last great stone away.
