Hi, Claire-
I found a PDF file

that had lyrics to this and other gospel songs.

The Angels Rolled the Stone Away
Traditional Spiritual, arranged by Jester Hairston

Oh, the angels rolled the stone away,
'Twas on that Easter Sunday morning
That the angels rolled the stone away.


Sister Mary she came running just about the break of day.
She was bringing news from heaven
That the angels rolled the stone away.
Great God, Almighty! Oh, the angels...

Said the angel He is not here; He is risen as he said,
Why seek ye the living way down here among the dead.
Great God, Almighty! Oh, the angels...

Jesus said, "Touch Me not Mary, but go on ahead of me.
Go and tell all my disciples to meet me in Galilee."
Great God, Almighty! Oh, the angels...

Brother Thomas he came running,
And his eyes were open wide.
Jesus said, "Man, if you doubt me,
Come put your hand right in my side."
Great God, Almighty! Oh, the angels...
