The foe behind, the deep before,

Our hosts have dared and past the sea: And Pharaoh's warriors strew the shore,

And Israel's ransomed tribes are free.

Lift up, lift up your voices now!
The whole wide world rejoices now!
The Lord hath triumphed gloriously!
The Lord shall reign victoriously!

Happy morrow,
Turning sorrow

Into peace and mirth!
Bondage ending

Love descending

O'er the earth!

Seals assuring,
Guards securing,

Watch His earthly prison.

Seals are shattered,

Guards are scattered,

Christ hath risen!

No longer must the mourners weep,
Nor call departed Christians dead;
For death is hallowed into sleep,
And every grave becomes a bed.

Now once more

Eden's door

Open stands to mortal eyes;

For Christ hath risen and men shall rise:

Now at last,

Old things past,

Hope and joy and peace begin:

For Christ hath won, and man shall win.

It is not exile, rest on high :

It is not sadness, peace from strife:
To fall asleep is not to die;

To dwell with Christ is better life.

Where our banner leads us,
We may safely go:
Where our chief precedes us,
We may face the foe.
His right arm is o'er us,
He our Guide will be;
Christ hath gone before us;
Christians follow ye!

FOR THOSE AT SEA.

Eternal Father, strong to save,

P. M.

Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,

Who bid'st the mighty ocean deep

Its own appointed limits keep;

Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

O Christ, Whose voice the waters heard
And hushed their raging at Thy word,
Who walkedst on the foaming deep,
And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For those in peril on the sea.

Most Holy Spirit, Who didst brood
Upon the chaos dark and rude,
And bid its angry tumult cease,
And give, for wild confusion, peace;
Oh hear us when we cry to Thee
For Those in peril on the sea.

O Trinity of love and power,
Our brethren shield in danger's hour;
From rock and tempest, fire and foe,
Protect them wheresoe'er they go;
Thus evermore shall rise to Thee

Glad hymns of praise from land and sea.
Amen.

THE END.

INDEX OF FIRST LINES.

A royal diadem adorns

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide .
Alleluia, song of sweetness

All people that on earth do dwell

All praise to Thee, my God, this night
Almighty God, Thy throne above
Around the throne of God, a band
Art thou all friendless and alone
As pants the hart for cooling streams
"As with gladness men of old

At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Awake, my soul, and with the sun

Before Jehovah's awful throne
Bethlehem, above all cities blest
Blest day, when o'er a world of woe
Bound upon the accursed tree

Bread of Heaven, on Thee we feed
Brief life is here our portion

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning

Christ is our corner-stone

Christ the Lord is risen to day

Christ, Whose glory fills the skies

Christians, brethren, ere we part

Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire

Come, let us join our cheerful songs

Come, praise the Lord, come praise Him
Come ye thankful people come
Creator Spirit! by Whose aid

Father! by Thy love and power

Father of Heaven! whose love profound

Father, whate'er of earthly bliss
First of the martyred throng
For Thy mercy and Thy grace
From all that dwell below the skies
From Greenland's icy mountains
From heaven above to earth I come
From lowest depths of woe

Glorious things of thee are spoken
Glory be to God on high

Go to dark Gethsemane

God is gone up on high

God moves in a mysterious way
God, that madest earth and heaven
Great God, what do I see and hear
Guide me,
O Thou great Jehovah

Hail the day that sees Him rise

Hail, Thou once despised Jesus
Hail to the Lord's anointed.

Hark, the glad sound, the Saviour comes

Hark, the herald angels sing

Hark, the song of Jubilee

Have mercy, Lord, on me

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty
Hosanna to the living Lord.

How are Thy servants blest, O Lord
How bright these glorious spirits shine
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

In token that thou shalt not fear

Jerusalem, my happy home.
Jesu, lover of my soul

Jesu, the very thought is sweet
Jesus Christ is risen to day
Jesus lives no longer now
Jesus, my strength, my hope

Jesus Name of wondrous love

Jesus shall reign where'er the Sun
