113 LIFT up, lift up your voices now, In vain with stone the cave they barred, In pomp of triumph Christ is come. He binds in chains the ancient foe, And all He did, and all He bare, For Christ has won, and man shall win. O Victor, aid us in the fight, And lead through death to realms of light; 114 W! WHEN two friends on Easter-Day On that Paschal eventide Christ was walking at their side. So Thy presence, Lord, we feel Though not kenned by carnal eye, 115 GOD, by Whom the seed is given, Whose word, like manna showered from heaven, Preserve it from the passing feet, And plunderers of the air, Though buried deep, or thinly strown, THE eternal gates lift up their heads, The doors are opened wide; The King of glory is gone up Unto His Father's side. Thou art gone in before us, Lord, And ever on our earthly path A light still breaks behind the cloud Lift up our hearts, lift up our minds, Our treasure be in heaven: That, where Thou art at God's right hand, Our hope, our love, may be; Dwell in us now, that we may dwell 118 7HERE high the heavenly temple stands, He, Who for men their surety stood, He knows--for He hath borne the same- Saviour, with boldness to Thy throne For mercy and for grace we plead, 119 CR ROWN Him with crowns of gold, 'All nations great and small; Crown Him, ye martyred saints of old, The Lamb once slain for all : As jewels in the diadem That girds His sacred brow. |
