He who gave for us His life, Alleluia! He who bore all pain and loss He who slumber'd in the grave, Now through Christendom it rings Now He bids His Church record Alleluia! Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed, Christ, Thy ransom'd people feed: Alleluia! Amen. 69. JESUS lives! no longer now Can thy terrors, Death, appal us; JESUS lives! by this we know Thou, O Grave, canst not enthral us. Alleluia! 7.8. JESUS lives! henceforth is death JESUS lives! for us He died: Alleluia ! JESUS lives! our hearts know well JESUS lives! to Him the throne May we go where He is gone, Rest and reign with Him in heaven. Alleluia! Amen. 70. Ar the Lamb's high feast we sing Where the Paschal blood is pour'd, Israel's host triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. 78. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. Mighty Victim from the sky, Hell's fierce powers beneath Thee lie; Now no more can death appal, And in Thee Thy saints shall rise. Easter triumph, Easter joy, From sin's power do Thou set free Amen. 71. THE Saviour lives, no more to die; He lives, to still His people's fears; Ye mournful saints, dry up your tears, L.M. Now to the Father, and the Son, All praise on earth, all praise in heaven. ASCENSION. 72. Amen. P.M. CHRIST is gone up with a joyful sound, The armies of heaven they throng around, He is gone to His glorious throne on high, And captive He leads captivity, And the foe He has overthrown. He is gone to pour, from the fount of love, To prepare a place for His saints above, 73. THOU art gone up on high, And round Thy throne unceasingly But we are lingering here, D.S.M. Thou art gone up on high, And girt with griefs and fears Thou art gone up on high; Oh! by Thy saving power, So make us live and die, That we may stand in that dread hour At Thy right hand on high. Amen. Hallelujah! Though returning to His throne, Hallelujah! Hallelujah! |
