De angel roll de stone awayDe angel roll de stone away
‘Twas on a bright an’ shiny morn
When de trumpet begin to soun’
De angel roll de stone away

Sister Mary came a-running at de break o’ day
Brought de news f’om heab’n
De stone done roll away
I’m a-lookin’ for my Saviour, tell me where He lay
High up on de mountain
De stone done roll away
De soljahs dere a-plenty, standin’ by de do’
But dey could not hinder
De stone done roll away
Ol’ Pilate an’his wise men didn’t know what to say
De miracle was on dem
De stone done roll away
