Christ's Resurrection.

HAR

Matt. xxviii. 6.

TARK! the herald angels say,
Christ, the Lord, is risen to-day!

o Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Let the glorious tidings fly.

e 2 Love's redeeming work is done! The battle's fought, the victory won! Lo! the sun's eclipse is o'er;

Lo! he sets in blood no more.

-3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal-
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
Death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened Paradise.

o 4 Lives again our glorious King,
d "Where, O Death, is now thy sting?"
e Once he died our souls to save,

d "Where's thy victory, boasting Grave?"

-5 What though once we perished all,

Partners of our parents' fall?

o Second life we shall receive,

And in Christ forever live.

HYMN 22. 7s. Epiphany. [*]

Christ's Ascension.

H Ravished from our wishful eyes;

[AIL, the day that saw him rise,

e Christ, awhile to mortals given,

o Reascends his native heaven:
-There the pompous triumph waits;
e Lift your heads, eternal gates!
"Wide unfold the radiant scene,
"Take the King of glory in!"

-2 Him though highest heaven receives,
Still he loves the earth he leaves;
Though returning to his throne,
Still he calls mankind his own.
Still for us he intercedes,
Prevalent his death he pleads;
Next himself prepares a place,
Harbinger of human race.

e 3 Master, (may we ever say,)
Taken from the world away,
See thy faithful servants, see,
Ever gazing up to thee.

Grant, though parted from our sight,
-High above yon azure height,-
Grant our souls may thither rise-
Following thee beyond the skies.
o 4 Ever upward let us move,
Wafted on the wings of love;
Looking when our Lord shall come-
Looking for a happier home.
There we shall with thee remain,
Partners of thy endless reign;
There thy face unclouded see—
Find a heaven of heavens in thee.

CHRIST'S Death, Resurrection, and Ascension.

Acts

tune, ye saints, your noblest strains, Your dying, rising Lord to sing; And echo, to the heavenly plains, The triumphs of your Saviour King. 2 In songs of grateful rapture tell, How he subdued your potent foes; Subdued the powers of death and hell, And, dying, finished all your woes: 3 Then to his glorious throne on high, Returned; while hymning angels round, Through the bright arches of the sky, The God, the conquering God, resound. 4 Almighty love, victorious power! Not angel tongues can e'er display The wonders of that dreadful hourThe joys of that illustrious day. 5 Then well may mortals try in vain, In vain their feeble voices raise; Yet Jesus hears the humble strain, And kindly owns our wish to praise. 6 Dear Saviour, let thy wondrous grace Fill every heart, and every tongue; Till the full glories of thy face Inspire a sweeter, nobler song.

Glowing with immortal bloom.

Echo to the blissful sound.

Praise to the REDEEMER.

May an infant lisp thy name?

Thou art every creature's theme,
Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, hallelujah. Amen.

Works with skill and kindness wrought.

4 For thy providence that governs, Through thine empire's wide domain;

Dark through brightness all along! e Thought is poor, and poor expression; a Who dare sing that awful song?

-6 Brightness of the Father's glory, Shall thy praise unuttered lie?

d Fly, my tongue, such guilty silence! Sing the Lord, who came to die.

e 7 Did archangels sing thy coming?
Did the shepherds learn their lays?
-Shame would cover me, ungrateful,
Should my tongue refuse to praise.
8 From the highest throne in glory,
To the cross of deepest woe-
All to ransom guilty captives!
Flow, my praise, forever flow.

Coronation of Christ. Cant. iii. 11.

ALL hail the power of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem,

And crown him-Lord of all.

2 Crown him, ye morning stars of light,
Who fixed this floating ball;

Now hail the strength of Israel's might,
And crown him-Lord of all.

3 Crown him, ye martyrs of our God
Who from his altar call;

Extol the stem of Jesse's rod,

And crown him-Lord of all.

-4 Hail him, ye heirs of David's line,
Whom David, Lord, did call :
The God incarnate! Man Divine!
And crown him-Lord of all.

-5 Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,

Ye ransomed from the fall,

Hail him who saves you by his grace,
And crown him-Lord of all.

e 6 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
The wormwood and the gall;
-Go spread your trophies at his feet,
And crown him-Lord of all.

7 Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball,

g To him all majesty ascribe, And crown him-Lord of all.

What wonders done;
