2. For, sure as olden sages tell, The soul, by some mysterious spell, And memories of things divine, 3. They come as half-forgotten dreams 286. The sound of its celestial streams, The angel faces in the air, O sing-and waft my spirit there. S. M. 1. BEYOND the starry skies, Far as th' eternal hills, There in the boundless world of light, 2. Around Him angels fair, In countless armies shine; 3. "Hail, Prince of life!" they cry, Moved Thee to quit these glorious realms 4. And when He stooped to earth, They cast their honors at His feet, 5. They saw Him on the cross, While darkness vailed the skies, 6. They thronged His chariot wheels, And bore Him to His throne; Then swept their golden harps and sung"The glorious work is done." TURNER. 287. S. M. 1. "THE Lord is risen indeed;" The grave hath lost its prey; With Him shall rise the ransomed seed To reign in endless day. 2. "The Lord is risen indeed;" 3. "The Lord is risen indeed;" Up to the courts of heaven, with speed, 4. Then take your golden lyres, And strike each cheerful chord : KELLY. 1. ENTHRONED is Jesus now Upon His heavenly seat; The kingly crown is on His brow, 2. In shining white they stand- 3. They sing the Lamb of God, Once slain on earth for them; The Lamb, through whose atoning blood 4. Thy grace, O Holy Ghost, Thy blessed help supply, That we may join that radiant host, JUDKIN. 1. OUR blest Redeemer, ere He breathed A Guide, a Comforter bequeathed, 2. He came in tongues of living flame, 3. He came, sweet influence to impart, While He can find one humble heart 4. And His that gentle voice we hear, That checks each fault, that calms each fear, 5. And every virtue we possess, 6. Spirit of purity and grace, Our weakness pitying see; O, make our hearts Thy dwelling-place, 290. SPIRIT OF THE PSALMS. C. M. 1. WHEN God of old came down from heaven, 2.

Like arrows went those lightnings forth, But these, like tongues, o'er all the earth KEBLE, 1. No track is on the sunny sky, Jesus hath gone; the face of earth 2. That Upper Room is heaven on earth; All that earth has of faith, or hope, 3. One moment-and the silentness 4. He comes! He comes! that mighty Breath From heaven's eternal shores; His uncreated freshness fills His Bride, as she adores. 5. Earth quakes before that rushing blast, 6. One moment-and the Spirit hung FABER. 1. RISE, glorious Conqueror, rise And, in many a fold, The clouds are backward rolled- 2. Victor o'er death and hell! Praises all heaven inspire; 3. Enter, incarnate God! No feet but Thine have trod Blow the full trumpets, blow! 4. Lion of Judah-Hail! And let Thy name prevail Lord of the rolling years— 5. Yet, who are those behind, Can count or say— Clothed in immortal stoles, In white array? |
