3 Fear not, ye of little faith, 5 As our Shepherd He is there, 78. 179 The power of His resurrection. 1 Phil. 3, 10. JESUS, my Redeemer, lives, Christ, my trust, is dead no more; In the strength this knowledge gives, Shall not all my fears be o'er ? Calm, though death's long night be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. Shall I fear then? can the Head 3 Close to Him my soul is bound, 9.6. 1801 am He that liveth, and was dead. 1 -Rev. 1, 18. OH! show me not my Saviour dying. As on the cross He bled; Nor in the tomb a captive lying, For He has left the dead. Then bid me not that form extended For my Redeemer own, Who, to the highest heavens ascended, In glory fills the throne, 2 Weep not for Him at Calvary's station; Weep only for thy sins, View where He lay with exultation; Yet stay not there, thy sorrows feeding, 8 Still in the shameful cross I glory, Yet what, mid conflict and temptation. 4 By death, Hedeath's dark king defeated, He comes, the Judge of men; Lord Jesus! own me then. L.M. 181 The Lord is among them, as in 1 Sinai, in the holy place.-Ps. 68, 17. ORD,whenThoudidst ascend on high, Those heavenlyguards around Theewait. Like chariots that attend Thy state. 2 Not Sinai's mountain could appear More glorious when the Lord was there; While He pronounced His dreadful law, And struck the chosen tribes with awe. 3 How bright the triumph none can tell, When the rebellious powers of hell, That countless souls had captive made. Were all in chains, like captives, led. 4 Raised by His Father to the throne, He sent the promised Spirit down, With gifts and grace for rebel men, That God might dwell on earth again. 1 C.M. 182 God is gone up with a shout.-Ps. 47, 5. FOR a shout of sacred joy, 3 While angels shout and praise their 4 Rehearse His praise with awe profound, Let knowledge lead the song; Nor mock Him with a solemn sound 5 In Israel stood His ancient throne; THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST. L.M. 183 The Lord Jesus shall be revealed 1 from heaven.-2 Thess. 1, 7. THE Lord shall come! the earth shall quake; The mountains to their centre shake; A silent Lamb before His foes, 3 The Lord shall come! a dreadful form, With rainbow wreath and robes of storm, On cherub wings, and wings of wind; 4 Can this be He, once wont to stray 5 While sinners in despair shall call, Thousand thousand saints attending Jesus now shall ever reign. 2 Every eye shall now behold Him Those who set at nought and sold Him, Shall the great Messiah see. 3 When the solemn trump has sounded, Come to judgment! come away! See the day of God appear! 5 Answer Thine own bride and Spirit, Travails, groans, and bids Thee come. 6 Yea, amen! let all adore Thee, High on Thine exalted throne! Saviour, take the power and glory: Claim the kingdom for Thine own! O come quickly, Hallelujah! come, Lord, come! 185 1 8.7.8.7.8.8.7. I will come again.-John 14, 3. THE Lord of might, from Sinai's brow, Gave forth His voice of thunder; And Israel lay on earth below, Outstretched in fear and wonder; A meek and suffering stranger, 8 The Lord of love, the Lord of might, Shall back return to claim His right, S.M. 186 what I say unto you, I say unto you 1 YE all, Watch.-Mark 13, 37. 2 Let all your lamps be bright, 3 Watch, tis your Lord's command, And, while we speak, He's near; Mark the first signal of His hand, And ready all appear. 4 O happy servant he In such a posture found; He shall his Lord with rapture see, 5 Christ shall the banquet spread And raise that favoured servant's head Amidst the angelic band. |
