3 Strengthen, O LORD, our feeble souls,
Conform us to Thy will;
Settle our hearts to stray no more,
But keep Thy precepts still.
4 Glory to Thee, Great Son OF GOD,
Glory to Thee be giv'n,
Forever, and for evermore,
Thro' all the days of heav'n
Matt. xxviiiala me 117 T
HRIST THE LORD is ris'n to-day
Sons of men and angels say ;
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Sing ye heav'ns, and earth reply.
2 Love's redeeming work is done, but ve
Fought the fight, the battle won
Lo! our Sun's eclipse is o'er,
Lo! He sets in blood no more.
3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
CHRIST hath burst the gates of hell;
Death in vain forbids His rise,
CHRIST hath open'd Paradise.
3 Lives again our glorious King,
Waere. Oneath is now thy sting
Once He died our souls to save,
Where's thy victory. O grave?
5 May we rise where CHRIST hath led,
Following our exalted Head;
Mirin His image may we rise,
Our's the cross, the grave, the skies,
6 King of glory! soul of bliss, Everlasting life is this
Thee to know-Thy pow'r to prove,
Thee to serve, adore, and love.
LL hail! triumphant LORD!
A To Thee all praise belongs ;
The wonders of this day
Demand our noblest songs.
Auspicious morn! thy blissful rays,
Bright Seraphs hail in songs of praise.
At thy approaching dawn,
Reluctant Death resign'd
The glorious Prince of life,
Her dark domains confin'd.
Th' angelic host around Him bends,.
And 'midst their shouts, the GoD ascends.
All hail! triumphant LORD!
Heav'n with Hosannas rings;
While earth, in humbler strains,
Thy praise responsive sings:
Worthy art Thou, who once wast slain,
Thro' endless years to live and reign.
ESUS, who once was dead,
The LAMB for sinners slain;
He lives, and lives for evermore,
O'er death and hell to reign..
2 Rejoice, ye saints, and sing,
His love and pow'r proclaim;
Ten thousand, thousand praises bring.
In honor of His name.
HE LORD, is risen! He who came
To suffer death and conquer too:
The LORD is risen! loud proclaim
The praise to our REDEEMER due:
He lives, He lives, who once was dead-
Let glory crown the Conq'ror's head,
The Lord is ris'n to His abode;
Aided by grace, be our employ
To die to sin, to live to God;
To serve with fear and holy joy.
He lives, He lives, who once was dead
Let glory crown, the Conq'ror's head.
3 The LORD is ris'n! let hosts above,
Triumphant now, proclaim His praise;
Let saints on earth adore His love, ́
And consecrate to him their days.
He lives, He lives, who once was dead-
Let glory crown the Conq'ror's head.
4. When life is past, when time is o'er,
O may we all to glory rise;
There dwell with Him for evermore,
With countless myriads in the skies,
And sing his praise, who once was dead,
And ever crown our Conq'ror's head.
1W WEN I the holy grave survey,
Where once my SAVIOUR deign'd to lie,
I see fulfill'd what prophets say,
And all the powr's of death defy.
This empty tomb shall now proclaim
How weak the bands of conquer'd death ;
Sweet pledge, that all who trust His name
Shall rise, and draw inmortal breath!
3 Our surety freed, declares us free,
For whose offences He was seiz'd;
Our pardon in his hands we see,
And shout to view Jehovan pleas'd.
4 JESUS, once number'd with the dead,
Unseals His eyes, to sleep no more,
And ever lives our cause to plead,
For whom the pains of death He bore.
5 Thy risen LORD, my soul adore,
See the rich diadem He wears!
Thou too shalt bear an harp of gold,
To crown thy joy when He appears.
6 Tho' in the dust I lay my head,
Yet, gracious GOD, Thou wilt not leave
My flesh for ever with the dead,
Nor lose Thy children in the grave.
