2 Love's redeeming work is done, 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, 4 Lives again our glorious King, 5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Made like him, like him we rise, 84. P.M.-" The Lord is risen indeed." Luke xxiv. 34. 1 YES, the Redeemer rose; The Saviour left the dead; And o'er our hellish foes High rais'd his conquering head; In wild dismay The guards around 2 Lo, the angelic bands To wait his high commands, Joyful they come And wing their way 3 Then back to heaven they fly, 4 Ye mortals catch the sound, The globe on which you dwell: "Jesus who bled, "Hath left the dead, 5 All hail, triumphant Lord, With thee we reign, 85. P.M.-The Resurrection of Christ. 1 JESUS Christ is risen to-day,-Hallelujah. Our triumphant holiday!-Hallelujah. Who so lately on the cross-Hallelujah. Suffer'd to redeem our loss.-Hallelujah. 2 Hymns of praises let us sing-Hallelujah. 86. C.M.-The angel's reply to the women that sought Christ. 1 YE humble souls that seek the Lord, 2 Thus low the Lord of life was brought; 3 A moment give a loose to grief; And wash the bloody stains away, 4 Then raise your eyes, and tune your songs, The Saviour lives again; Not all the bolts and bars of death 5 High o'er the angelic bands he rears And through unnumber'd years he reigns, 6 With joy like his shall every saint Then rise with his ascending Lord, 87.

A sudden trembling shakes the ground! 2 Come, saints, and drop a tear or two For him who groan'd beneath your load; He shed a thousand drops for you, A thousand drops of richer 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, (In vain the tomb forbids his rise!) Cherubic legions guard him home, And shout him welcome to the skies! 5 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high your great Deliverer reigns; Sing how he spoil'd the hosts of hell, And led the monster, death, in chains. 6 Say, "Live for ever, wondrous King! "Born to redeem, and strong to save!" Then ask the monster, "Where's thy sting?" And "Where's thy victory, boasting grave?" 88. L.M.-Christ's appearance to his disciples after his resurrection. 1 COME, our indulgent Saviour, come, 3 With rapture, kneeling round, we greet 89. C.M.-Christ ascending to his Father and God, and our's. 1 IN raptures let our hearts ascend And grateful trace that shining path 2" Up to my Father and my God, 3 And doth the Lord of glory call Such worms his brethren dear? 4 And doth he teach my sinful lips 5.0 world, produce a good like this, |
