5 O may we then among them stand, The meanest place at his right hand HYMN 199. C. P. M. [#] Resurrection. 1 ARISE, and hail the happy day; 2 If angels, on that happy morn, Let 3 O, then, let heaven and earth rejoice, When Jesus triumphed o'er his foes, HYMN 200. C. M. [#] Hope of the Resurrection. 1 BLEST be the everlasting God, The Father of our Lord; Be his abounding mercy praised, 2 When from the dead he raised his Son, 3 What though his uncontrolled decree 4 There's an inheritance divine 5 Saints by the power of God are kept We walk by faith as strangers here, HYMN 201. C. M. [#] Emblems of the Resurrection. 1 ALL nature dies, and lives again: 2 These all resign their beauteous form And leave the naked, leafless plain 3 Yet soon reviving plants and flowers The woods shall hear the voice of spring, 4 So, to the dreary grave consigned, The slumbers of the tomb. 5 may the grave become to us HYMN 202. L. P. M. [#] Life, Death, and Resurrection. Eternal praises to the Lord, HYMN 203. P. M. [#] 1 LIFT your glad voices in triumph on high, For Jesus hath risen, and man cannot die : Vain were the terrors that gathered around him, And short the dominion of death and the grave He burst from the fetters of darkness that bound hin, Resplendent in glory, to live and to save: Loud was the chorus of angels on high,— The Saviour hath risen, and man shall not die. 2 Glory to God in full anthems of joy, The being he gave us death cannot destroy: Sad were the life we must part with to-morrow, If tears were our birthright, and death were our end; But Jesus hath cheered the dark valley of sorrow, Lift, then, your voices in triumph on high, EMPIRE OF CHRIST. HYMN 204. H. M. [#] Christ Victorious. 1 ALL hail, redeeming Lord! With joy our eyes behold: Still does thy arm new trophies wear, 2 To thee the hoary head Its silver honours pays; 30 haste, triumphant Prince, O, may it bless our longing eyes, 4 All hail, ascended Lord! Eternal be thy reign; Behold the nations sue To wear thy gentle chain : When earth and time are known no more, Thy throne shall stand forever sure. |
