251 Triumphant o'er the grave,

THE morn is come;

6s. 88.

The Saviour leaves the tomb;
Omnipotent to save.
Captivity is captive led;

For Jesus liveth, that was dead.

Who now accuseth them

For whom their Surety died?
Who now shall those condemn
Whom God hath justified?

Captivity is captive led;

For Jesus liveth, that was dead.

Christ hath the ransom paid;
The glorious work is done;
On Him our help is laid;
By Him our victory won.
Captivity is captive led;

For Jesus liveth, that was dead.

Hail, the triumphant Lord;

The Resurrection, Thou;

We bless Thy sacred Word;

Before Thy throne we bow.

Captivity is captive led;

For Jesus liveth, that was dead.

252 TIs crowned with glory now; [thorns,

HE head that once was crowned with

C. M.

A royal diadem adorns

The mighty Victor's brow.

2 The highest place that heaven affords
Is His, is His by right;

The King of kings, and Lord of lords,
And heaven's eternal light.

3 The joy of all who dwell above,
The joy of all below

To whom He manifests His love,
And grants His name to know.

3 Never, from Thy pasture roving,
Let them be the lion's prey;
Let Thy tenderness, so loving,
Keep them all life's dangerous way.
4 Then, within Thy fold eternal,
Let them find a resting-place,
Feed in pastures ever vernal,
Drink the rivers of Thy grace.

233 SEE

EE, Israel's gentle Shepherd stands,
With all-engaging charms;

C. M. Hark, how He calls the tender lambs,
And folds them in His arms.

2 Permit them to approach, He cries,
Nor scorn their humble name:
For 'twas to bless such souls as these
The Lord of angels came.

8 Invited by the voice divine,

We bring them, Lord, to Thee;
Joyful that we ourselves are Thine,
Thine let our offspring be.

4 If orphans, they are left behind,
Thy guardian care we trust;

234

S. M.

That care shall heal our bleeding hearts,
If weeping o'er their dust.

SOL

OLDIERS of Christ, arise,
And put your armour on,

Strong in the strength which God supplies,
Through His eternal Son.

Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in His mighty power:

Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.

Stand then in His great might,
With all His strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God.

4 From strength to strength go on,
Wrestle and fight and pray;

5

Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.

That, having all things done,

And all your conflicts past,

Ye may o'ercome, through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last.

OLDIERS of the cross arise,

235 So

7s.

Gird you with your armour bright; Mighty are your enemies,

Hard the battle ye must fight.

2 'Mid the homes of want and woe,
Strangers to the living Word,
Let the Saviour's herald go,

Let the voice of hope be heard.

3 To the weary and the worn

Tell of realms where sorrows cease; To the outcast and forlorn

Speak of mercy and of peace.

4 Guard the helpless; seek the strayed;
Comfort troubles; banish grief;
With the Spirit's sword arrayed,
Scatter sin and unbelief.

5 Be the banner still unfurled,
Bear it bravely still abroad,
Till the kingdoms of the world
Are the kingdoms of the Lord.

236 By the wondrous mystery
SON of God, to Thee I cry;

7s.

Of Thy dwelling here on earth,
By Thy pure and holy birth,
Lord, Thy presence let me see,
Manifest Thyself to me.

2 Lamb of God, to Thee I cry;
By Thy bitter agony,

By Thy pangs to us unknown,
By Thy spirit's parting groan,
Lord, Thy presence let me see,
Manifest Thyself to me.

3 Prince of life, to Thee I cry;
By Thy glorious majesty,
By Thy triumph o'er the grave,
Meek to suffer, strong to save,
Lord, Thy presence let me see,
Manifest Thyself to me.

4 Lord of glory, God most high,
Man exalted to the sky,
With Thy love my bosom fill;
Prompt me to perform Thy will;
Then Thy glory I shall see,
Thou wilt bring me home to Thee.

237 SONGS of praise the angels sang,

7s.

Heaven with hallelujahs rang,

When Jehovah's work begun,
When He spake, and it was done.

2 Songs of praise awoke the morn
When the Prince of peace was born,
Songs of praise arose, when He
Captive led captivity.

3 Heaven and earth must pass away,
Songs of praise shall crown that day;
God will make new heavens, new earth,
Songs of praise shall hail their birth.

4 And can man alone be dumb,
Till that glorious kingdom come?
No; the Church delights to raise
Psalms, and hymns, and songs of praise

5 Saints below, with heart and voice,
Still in songs of praise rejoice;
Learning here, by faith and love,
Songs of praise to sing above.

6 Borne upon their latest breath,
Songs of praise shall conquer death;
Then, amidst eternal joy,

Songs of praise their powers employ.

PEED Thy servants, Saviour, speed

238 Shem,

8s. 7s.

4.

Thou art Lord of winds and waves:

They were bound, but Thou hast freed them;
Now they go to free the slaves:
Be Thou with them,

'Tis Thine arm alone that saves.

2 Friends, and home, and all forsaking,
Lord, they go, at Thy command;
As their stay Thy promise taking,
While they traverse sea and land:
O be with them,

Lead them safely by the hand.

3 Speed them through the mighty ocean,
In the dark and stormy day;
When the waves in wild commotion
Fill all others with dismay;
Be Thou with them,

Drive their terrors far away.

4 In the midst of opposition

Let them trust, O Lord, in Thee;
When success attends their mission,
Let Thy servants humbler be:
Never leave them,

Till Thy face in heaven they see:

5 There to reap, in joy, for ever,

239

C. M.

Fruit that grows from seed here sown;
There to be with Him, who never
Ceases to preserve His own;

And with triumph,

Sing a Saviour's grace alone.

ST

YPIRIT Divine, attend our prayers,
And make this house Thy home;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,
O come, great Spirit, come.

2 Come as the light; to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe;
And lead us in those paths of life,
Where all the righteous go.
