IO SING unto the Lord a new ong for He hath done | marellous things. 2 With His own right hand, and with His holy | arm | hath He otten Him- self the victory. 3 The Lord declared | His sal- | vaion His righteousness hath He openly shewed in the sight | of the heathen. 4 He hath remembered His mercy and truth toward the house of Israel and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation | of our | God. 5 Shew yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all ye lands: | sing, re-joice, and give thanks. 6 Praise the Lord up on the harp sing to the harp with a | psalm of thanksgiving. 7 With trumpets also and) shawms | O shew yourselves joyful before the Lord the | King. 8 Let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is the round world, and they that | dwell there- | in. 9 Let the floods clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together before the Lord: || for He | cometh to judge the earth. 10 With righteousness shall He | judge the world: || and the | people | with equity. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy | Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever | shall be world without] end. | A- | men. 1 CHRIST our passover is sacri- | ficed for us: therefore | let us keep the feast; 2 Not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and | wickedness but with the unleavened bread of sin- ceri- | ty and | truth. 3 Christ being raised from the dead ] dieth no more: || death hath no more do- minion | over | Him. 4 For in that He died, He died unto sin once but in that He liveth, He | liveth unto | God. 5 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed | unto | sin: but alive unto God through | Jesus | Christ our Lord. 6 Christ is risen | from the | dead: || and become the first- | fruits of them that slept. 7 For since by man came | death: || by man came also the resurrection"] of the dead. 2 Oh! what fear man's bosom rend eth, When from heaven the Judge descendeth, On whose sentence all dependeth! 3 Wondrous sound the trumpet flingeth, Thro' earth's sepulchres it ringeth, All before the throne it bringeth. 4 Lo! the Book, exactly worded, Wherein all hath been recorded; Whence shall judgment be awarded. 5 When the Judge His seat attaineth And each hidden deed arraigneth, Nothing unavenged remaineth. 6 What shall I, frail man, be pleading, Who for me be interceding, When the just are mercy needing ! 7 King of Majesty tremendous, Who dost free salvation send us, Fount of pity, then befriend us! 8 Faint and weary thou hast sought me, [me; On the cross of suffering brought Shall such grace be vainly brought me? 9 Guilty, now I pour my moaning, All my shame with anguish owning: Spare, O God, Thy suppliant groaning. IO Low I kneel with heart-submission; See, like ashes, my contrition; Help me in my last condition. II Ah, that day of tears and mourning! From the dust of earth returning, Man for judgment must prepare him; 12 Spare, O God, in mercy spare him. Lord, all pitying, Jesus blest, Grant us Thine eternal rest. Amen, |
