51. It is finished. John xix. 30. P. M. mercy 1 HARK! the voice of love and Hear the dying Saviour cry. 2 O what joy to helpless sinners These triumphant words afford! Heavenly blessings without measure Flow to us through Christ the Lord. "It is finish'd;" Saints His dying words record. 3 Praise the Lord, ye Saints, adore Him, Loudly sing Emmanuel's name: All on earth, and all in heaven, "It is finish'd;" Glory to the bleeding Lamb. 52. The blood of Christ cleanseth from all sin. 1 FROM Calvary's cross, a fountain flows. More healing than Bethesda's pool, C. M. 2 The dying thief rejoic'd to see And there may sinners, vile as he, 3 Ne'er shall that fountain's sacred stream Lose its all-cleansing power, Till the whole ransom'd Church of God 4 The virtue of thy blood, O Lord, Grant that to Thee we henceforth live, 5 Till, spotless placed at thy right hand, Safe in the realms above, 1 2 We cast our crowns before thy throne, 53. Christ the Lamb of God. S. M. REHOLD the Lamb of God, Be every valley high, Be every mountain low, The proud must stoop, the humble soul Shall His salvation know. 3 The heathen realms abroad 4 Shall join in sweet accord: Jesus! Thou Lamb of God! 54. The Crucifixion. Matt. xxvii. 1 BEHOLD the Saviour of mankind Nail'd to the fatal tree! C. M. How vast the love that Him inclin'd 2 Hark! how He groans! all nature shakes, Night shrouds the firmament; The temple's veil asunder breaks, 3 'Tis done! the precious ransom's paid; "Receive my soul," He cries: See, where He bows His sacred head! 4 But soon He'll break death's envious chain, And in full glory shine; O Lamb of God! was ever pain, Was ever love like thine? Easter. 55. Encouragement from the triumphs of Christ.(4. 6 & 2. 8.) 1 2 3 COME ye, who love the Lord, His goodness to adore: To heaven and earth aloud proclaim He left His throne above, His glory laid aside, Came down on wings of love, And wept, and bled, and died: The pangs He bore, what tongue can tell, He burst the Grave; He rose And thence His vanquish'd foes Up through the heavens the Conqueror Triumphant to the throne of God. 4 He soon again will come, (His chariot will not stay,) We there shall see Him face to face, E 56. Captivity led captive. (4. 6. & 2. 8.) 1 THE happy morn is come! 2 3 Captivity is captive led, For Jesus liveth that was dead. For whom their Surety died? For Jesus liveth that was dead. By Him our victory won; Captivity is captive led; For Jesus liveth that was dead. 57. Christ conquering death, and him that hath the power of death. (4.7.) 1 CHRIST arising from the dead, Bruis'd to-day the Serpent's head; Now the vanquish'd powers of hell Swift from heaven like lightning fell. 2 Love's redeeming work is done; Fought the fight, the battle won; Vain the stone,-the watch how vain! Christ has burst to life again. |
