REDEMPTION SONG

O the angels are singing because, because,
Christ beareth my burden to-day!
From the tomb in my heart they are coming to roll
The stone of my sorrow away, away,
The angels will roll it away!

O the angels are singing for joy, for joy,
When Christ took my burden of clay,
When He stooped to lift what was bearing me down,
The stone of my sorrow, to-day, to-day,
The angels will roll it away!
