4 Many hands conspired to wound him; See who bears the awful load? 6 Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, Sacrifice which cancels guilt, None shall ever be confounded Who on thee their hopes have built. 228. 7s & 4. Calvary. G. E. HEAD. 1 HARK! from yonder mount arise Hear your dying Saviour's words. Free salvation now receive?" 229. C. M. Death on the Cross. EPIS. COL. 1 FROM whence these direful omens round, Which heaven and earth amaze? And why do earthquakes cleave the ground? Why hides the sun his rays? 2 Well may the earth astonished shake, The sun, as darkest night, be black; 3 Behold, fast streaming from the tree, Is this the Infinite? 'tis he, 4 For me these pangs his soul assail ; My sins gave sharpness to the nail, 5 Let sin no more my soul enslave; O, save me, whom thou cam'st to save, 230 L. M. STENNETT. Christ expiring upon the Cross. 1 ""TIS finished!". so the Saviour cried, 2 'Tis finished! this his dying groan And millions be redeemed from death 3 "Tis finished! - Heaven is reconciled, 4 "Tis finished! -let the joyful sound 231. S. M. WATTS. Christ suffering for our Sins. 1 LIKE sheep we went astray, Each wandering in a different way, 2 How dreadful was the hour When God our wanderings laid, 3 How glorious was the grace, When Christ sustained the stroke! 4 But God shall raise his head 5 "I'll give him," saith the Lord, 232. L. M. WATTS. Death and Resurrection of Christ. 1 HE dies! - the Friend of sinners dies; Lo! Salem's daughters weep around; A solemn darkness veils the skies; A sudden trembling shakes the ground. 2 Ye saints, approach! — the anguish view Of him who groans beneath your load; He gives his precious life for you; For you he sheds his precious blood. 3 Here's love and grief beyond degree; The Lord of glory dies for men; But, lo! what sudden joys we see! Jesus, the dead, revives again. 4 The rising God forsakes the tomb; Up to his Father's court he flies; Cherubic legions guard him home, And shout him welcome to the skies. 5 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliverer reigns; Sing how he spoiled the hosts of hell, And led the tyrant Death in chains. 6 Say, "Live forever, glorious King, Born to redeem, and strong to save!" Then ask, "O Death, where is thy sting? And where thy victory, boasting Grave?" Resurrection of Christ. 1 MORNING breaks upon the tomb; Day of triumph! through the skies, Resurrection of Christ. 1 ANGELS, roll the rock away; COLLYER.

H. M. DODDRIDGE. Resurrection of Christ. 1 YES, the Redeemer rose; And o'er our hellish foes High raised his conquering head: In wild dismay, The guards around Fall to the ground, And sink away. 2 Behold, th' angelic bands With joy they come, From realms of day And wing their way To Jesus' tomb. 3 Then back to heaven they fly, Their anthems say, "The Lord, who bled, Hath left the dead; He rose to-day." |
