PSALM CXII.

213

1 Cor. xv. 20, 21. 55.

L. M.

TE dies! the Friend of sinners dies! Lo! Salem's daughters weep around! A solemn darkness veils the skies,

A sudden trembling shakes the ground! Come, saints, and drop a tear or two, For Him who groan'd beneath your load! He shed a thousand drops for you,

A thousand drops of richer blood.

2 Here's love and grief beyond degree,
The LORD of glory dies for men Anda
But lo!: what sudden joys we see!
woh JESUS the dead revives again va
The rising GOD forsakes the tomb!

The tomb in vain forbids His rise!
Cherubic legions guard Him home,

And shout Him welcome to the skies!

3 Break off your tears, ye saints! and tell
How high our great Deliv'rer reigns!
Sing how he spoil'd the hosts of hell,
And led the monster death in chains.
And te
Say," live for ever wond'rous King!

Born to redeem, and strong to save!" Then ask the monster-"Where's thy sting? "And where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave?

Psalm xxiv. xlviii. lxxii. 179.

Let earth and skies reply;

What spoils from death He won ;
Sing His great name alone;

While they around the throne
Cheerfully join in one

Praising His name;

Ye who believe His blood

Doth seal your peace with GoD,
Proclaim His grace abroad,

In realms of endless love,

Praise His blest name;

Sparkle in every rolling star.

The noblest labor of Thy hands

Out-shines the wonders of the skies.

My thoughts rejoice in JEsu's name,]
Ye angels, dwell upon the sound;
Ye heav'ns, reflect it to the ground, c

Where He unveils His sacred face!
Where all His glories you behold,
And sing His name to harps of gold.
