CXVII. WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH THEE? 1. YES, Thou hast much to do with me, my whole trust on Heaven above: 5. Be this Thy work and Thy reward, My crucified and risen Lord! But what can I repay to Thee, When Thou hast done thus much for me! CXVIII. ON THE LOVE OF GOD. Arranged to Luther's Hymn by Smith. 1. THOU hidden love of God, whose height, Whose depth unfathom'd no man knows; My heart is pain'd, nor can it be 2. Thy secret voice invites me still The sweetness of thy yoke to prove : That strives with Thee my heart to share? 5. O hide this self from me; that 'I' No more, but Christ' in me may live: My vile affections crucify, Nor let one darling sin survive : A heart that lowly waits thy call; "I am thy life, thy God, thy all." To know thy power, to hear thy voice, To feel thy love, be all my choice. CXIX. ANTHEM FOR EASTER DAY. (1 Cor. xv. 20. &c.) Music, by Key. 20. NOW is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. 21. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 51. Behold I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed. 52. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump! For the trumpet shall shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54. Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. 55. O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory? 56. The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law; 57. But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through Jesus Christ our Lord. Hallelujah. CXX. THE LORD IS RISEN. Being an Imitation of the 24th Psalm. 1. THE Lord is risen from the dead, 2. There his triumphal chariot waits, 3. Loose all your massy bars of light And wide unfold th' ethereal scene: He claims those mansions as his right; Admit the King of Glory in. 4. Who is the King of Glory, who? The Lord, who every foe o'erĉame; Sin and the world and death o'erthrew, And JESUS is the conqueror's name. 5. Lo! His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chaunt the solemn lay; "Lift up your heads ye heavenly gates, “Ye everlasting doors give way ! 6. "Who is the King of Glory, who? "The Lord, of glorious power possest; "The king of saints, and angels too; "God over all, for ever blest!" CXXI. SEE, GRACIOUS GOD. (Toplady.) Music, by Handel, from the Collection of 1. SEE, gracious GOD; before Thy throne Thy mourning people bend! |
