Praise eternal as His love;

Hallelujah!

"The Lord is risen indeed."

1 "THE Lord is risen indeed:"

Now is His work performed;

Now is the mighty captive freed,
And Death's strong castle stormed.

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;
He lives, the sinner's cause to plead,
Whose curse and shame He bore.

4 "The Lord is risen indeed:"

Attending angels, hear!

Up to the courts of heaven, with speed,
The joyful tidings bear.

rays

Beheld the Son of God

Arise triumphant from the grave,

And leave His dark abode !

2 Wrapt in the silence of the tomb
The great Redeemer lay,
Till the revolving skies had brought
The third, the appointed day.

3 Hell and the grave combined their force
To hold our Lord in vain;
Sudden the Conqueror arose,

And burst their feeble chain.

4 To Thy great name, Almighty Lord!
We sacred honours pay,
And loud hosannas shall proclaim
The triumphs of the day.

5 Salvation and immortal praise
To our victorious King!

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,
Bringing and bestowing good;
Glorious in the garb He wears,
Glorious in the spoils He bears?

2 'Tis the Saviour, now victorious,

Travelling onward in His might;
"Tis the Saviour-O how glorious
To His people is the sight!
Jesus now is strong to save,
Mighty to redeem the slave.

3 Why that blood His raiment staining?
"Tis the blood of many slain:

Of His foes there's none remaining,
None the contest to maintain:
Fallen they are, no more to rise
All their glory prostrate lies.

4 This the Saviour has effected
By His mighty arm alone:
See the throne for Him erected-
"Tis an everlasting throne!
"Tis the great reward He gains,
Glorious fruit of all His pains.

5 Mighty Victor, reign for ever!
Wear the crown so dearly won;

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.

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,
Glorious, to His native skies!
Christ, awhile to mortals given,
Reäscends His native heaven:
There the mighty triumph waits-
"Lift your heads, eternal gates!
Wide unfold the radiant scene,
Take the King of glory in."

2 Circled round with angel powers,
Their triumphant Lord and ours,
Vanquisher of death and sin,
Take the King of glory in:

Him though highest heaven receives,
Still He loves the earth He leaves;
Though returned to His throne,
Still He calls mankind His own.

3 See! He lifts His hands above;
See! He shows the prints of love:
Hark! His gracious lips bestow
Blessings on His Church below:

Still for us He intercedes,
Still His death prevailing pleads;
Next Himself prepares our place,
Harbinger of human race.

4 Ever upwards may we move,
Wafted on the wings of love;
Looking when our Lord shall come,
Longing, striving after home.

There shall we with Thee remain,
Partners of Thine endless reign;

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,
Thou hast full atonement made.

2 All Thy people are forgiven

Through the virtue of Thy blood;
Opened is the gate of heaven;

Peace is made 'twixt man and God.

3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,
There for ever to abide;

All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at Thy Father's side.

4 There for sinners Thou art pleading;
There Thou dost our place prepare;

Ever for us interceding,

Till in glory we appear.

5 Worship, honour, power, and blessing,
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises without ceasing
Meet it is for us to give.

6 Help, ye bright angelic spirits,
Bring your sweetest, noblest lays;
Help to sing our Saviour's merits,
Help to chant Immanuel's praise!

"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!
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings:

Crown Him! crown Him!
Crown the Saviour, King of kings!

3 Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus Messiah's claim,—
Saints and angels throng around Him,
Own His title, praise His name:
