EASTER HYMN, No 1. (77 77 with Hal.)

O

FIRST TUNE.

LANCASHIRE (7676 D.)

"A lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead."

1 THE Day of Resurrection!

Earth, tell it out abroad; The Passover of gladness,

The Passover of God!
From death to life eternal,

From earth unto the sky,
Our Christ hath brought us over
With hymns of victory.

2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
That we may see aright
The Lord in rays eternal
Of resurrection-light;

And, listening to His accents,

May hear so calm and plain
His own "All hail," and, hearing,
May raise the victor strain.

3 Now let the heavens be joyful,
And earth her song begin,
The round world keep high triumph,
And all that is therein;
Let all things seen and unseen

Their notes of gladness blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen,

Our joy that hath no end.

BETHANY (87 87 D.)

Henry Smart.

"I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."

1 PRAISE the Lord, sing Hallelujah!

the victory is won;

Strife and conflict now are ended,
And the triumph is begun.

Bring the sacrifice of praises,

Our Deliverer to greet;

Come with joyful adoration,

Welcome Him with honour meet.

2 We have seen His toil and anguish, We have watched Him in the hour When, unpitied and forsaken,

He endured the tyrant's power. Now we see Him crowned with glory, And we know ourselves set free; He hath rent our bonds asunder, Captive led captivity.

3 Mighty One! we bow before Thee,
And we own Thee Lord of all;
Jesus! Saviour! we adore Thee,
At Thy cross we meekly fall.
Help us in this time of waiting
In Thy strength to follow Thee,
That, partakers in Thy warfare,
We may share Thy victory.

4 Hallelujah! Christ is risen,

And He lives to die no more:
To His hand the keys are given,
Open is the prison-door.
Hallelujah Hallelujah!
Now our triumph is begun;
Death and hell are spoiled for ever,
And the victory is won.
