Praise eternal as His love; Hallelujah! 66 "The Lord is risen indeed." 1 "THE Lord is risen indeed:" Now is His work performed; Now is the mighty captive freed, 2 "The Lord is risen indeed:" The Grave has lost his prey; With Him is risen the ransomed seed, To reign in endless day. 3 "The Lord is risen indeed:" He lives, to die no more; 4 "The Lord is risen indeed:" Attending angels, hear! Up to the courts of heaven, with speed, rays Beheld the Son of God Arise triumphant from the grave, And leave His dark abode ! 2 Wrapt in the silence of the tomb 3 Hell and the grave combined their force And burst their feeble chain. 4 To Thy great name, Almighty Lord! 5 Salvation and immortal praise Let heaven and earth, and rocks and seas, With glad hosannas ring. 6 To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, and is, And shall be evermore. WHO All His raiment stained with blood; To the slave proclaiming freedom, 2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious, Travelling onward in His might; 3 Why that blood His raiment staining? Of His foes there's none remaining, 4 This the Saviour has effected 5 Mighty Victor, reign for ever! 36. 1 2 Never shall Thy people, never, Cease to sing what Thou hast done : Thou hast fought Thy people's foes; Thou hast healed Thy people's woes. OUR LORD'S ASCENSION. Tune-Franconia, 195. "Thou hast ascended on high, Thou hast led captivity captive." THOU art gone up on high To mansions in the skies, And round Thy throne unceasingly The songs of praise arise: But we are lingering here, With sin and care opprest; And lead us to Thy rest. Lord, send Thy promised Comforter, S.M. 1 So make us live and die, That we may stand, in that dread hour, At Thy right hand on high! Tune-Coburg, 299. 8 line 7s. "While they beheld, He was taken up." HA AIL the day that sees Him rise, 2 Circled round with angel powers, Him though highest heaven receives, 3 See! He lifts His hands above; Still for us He intercedes, 4 Ever upwards may we move, There shall we with Thee remain, There Thy face unclouded see, Find our heaven of heavens in Thee! "At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth." PASCHAL Lamb, by God appointed, All our sins on Thee were laid; By Almighty Love anointed, 2 All Thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of Thy blood; Peace is made 'twixt man and God. 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, All the heavenly hosts adore Thee, 4 There for sinners Thou art pleading; Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. 5 Worship, honour, power, and blessing, 6 Help, ye bright angelic spirits, "A Name which is above every name." 1 LOOK, ye saints! the sight is glorious; See the Man of Sorrows now! From the fight returned victorious, Every knee to Him shall bow: Crown Him! crown Him! Crowns become the Victor's brow. 2 Crown the Saviour! angels, crown Him! Crown Him! crown Him! 3 Sinners in derision crowned Him, |
