5. Glory to Jesus, who returns
Triumphantly to Heaven;
Praise to the Father evermore,
And Holy Ghost, be given.
1. JESUS, our Lord, ascend Thy throne,
And near Thy Father sit:
In Zion shall Thy power be known,
And make Thy foes submit.
2. What wonders shall Thy Gospel do!
Thy converts shall surpass
The numerous drops of morning dew,
And own Thy sovereign grace.
3. God hath pronounced a firm decree,
Nor changes what He swore:-
"Eternal shall Thy priesthood be,
"When Aaron is no more."
4. Jesus, our Priest, forever lives,
To plead for us above;
Jesus, our King, forever gives
The blessings of His love.
5. God will exalt His glorious head,
His lofty throne maintain,
And strike the powers and princes dead,
Who dare oppose His reign.
1. WHY is thy face so lit with smiles,
Mother of Jesus! why?
And wherefore is thy beaming look
So fixed upon the sky?
2. His rising form on Olivet
A summer's shadow cast!
The branches of the hoary trees
Droop'd as the shadow pass'd.
3. And as He rose with all His train
Of righteous souls around,
His blessing fell into thine heart,
Like dew into the ground.
4. Down stoop'd a silver cloud from heaven,
The Eternal Spirit's car,
And on the lessening vision went,
Like some receding star.
5. The silver cloud hath sail'd away,
The skies are blue and free;
The road that vision took is now
Sunshine and vacancy.
1. YES, the Redeemer rose;
The Saviour left the dead;
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. Lo! the angelic bands
In full assembly meet,
To wait His high commands,
And worship at His feet;
Joyful they come, and wing their way,
From realms of day, to Jesus' tomb.
3. Then back to heaven they fly,
The joyful news to bear:
Hark! as they soar on high,
What music fills the air!
Their anthems say-" Jesus, who bled,
Hath left the dead, He rose to-day."
4. Ye mortals, catch the sound,
Redeemed by Him from hell;
And send the echo round
The globe on which you dwell;
Transported cry-"Jesus who bled'
Hath left the dead, no more to die."
5. All hail, triumphant Lord,
Who sav'st us with Thy blood!
Wide be Thy name adored,
Thou, rising, reigning God.
With Thee we rise, with Thee we reign,
And empires gain beyond the skies.
1. God is gone up on high
With a triumphant noise;
The clarions of the sky
Proclaim th' angelic joys:
Join, all on earth! rejoice and sing,
Glory ascribe to glory's King.
2. All power to our great Lord
Is by the Father given,
By angel hosts adored,
He reigns supreme in heaven:
Join, all on earth, rejoice and sing,
Glory ascribe to glory's King.
3. High on His holy seat,
He bears the righteous sway;
His foes beneath His feet
Shall sink and die away:
Join, all on earth! rejoice and sing,
Glory ascribe to glory's King,
4. Then all the earth, renewed
In righteousness divine,
With all the hosts of God,
In one great chorus join:
Join, all on earth! rejoice and sing,
Glory ascribe to glory's King.
1. YE saints! your music bring,
And swell the rapturous sound;
Strike every trembling string,
Till earth and heaven resound:
The triumphs of the cross we sing-
Awake, ye saints! each joyful string.
2. The cross-the cross alone-
Subdued the powers of hell;
Like lightning from his throne,
The prince of darkness fell;
The triumphs of the cross we sing―
Awake, ye saints, each joyful string.
3. The cross hath power to save
From all the foes that rise;
The cross hath made the grave
A passage to the skies;
The triumphs of the cross we sing-
Awake, ye saints! each joyful string.
1. JOIN all the glorious names
Of wisdom, love, and power,
That ever mortals knew,
That angels ever bore:
All are too mean to speak His worth,
Too mean to set my Saviour forth.
2. Great prophet of our God!
Our tongues would bless Thy name; By Thee the joyful news
Of our salvation came;
The joyful news of sins forgiven,
Of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.
3. Jesus, our great High Priest,
Offered His blood and died;
My guilty conscience needs
No sacrifice beside;
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne.
4. Oh thou almighty Lord,
Our conqueror and our King!
Thy scepter and Thy sword,
Thy reigning grace we sing;
Thine is the power; Behold, we sit,
In willing bonds, beneath Thy feet.
1. JESUS-transporting name!
It charms the hosts above;
They evermore proclaim,
And wonder at His love;
They look upon his heavenly face,
And study His mysterious grace.
2. His name the sinner hears,
And is from sin set free,
"T is music in his ears,
'Tis life and victory;
New songs do now his lips employ,
And dances his glad heart for joy.
3. Stung by the scorpion, sin,
My poor expiring soul
The balmy sound drinks in,
And is at once made whole;
Lord upon the tree,
I know, I feel He died for me.
4. Oh, for a trumpet-voice,
On all the world to call;
To bid their hearts rejoice
In Him, who died for all:
Inspire with praise each human tongue,
And wake a universal song.
1. OUR Lord is risen from the dead,
Our Jesus is gone up on high;
The powers of hell are captive led,
Dragged to the portals of the sky.
2. There His triumphal chariot waits,
And angels chant the solemn lay:
"Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates
Ye everlasting doors! give way.'
