4 God has still His angels, helping at His word, And His faithful children, like their faithful Lord; Soothing them in sorrow, arming them in strife, Opening wide the tomb-doors, leading into life. Angels, sing His triumph, etc. 5 Father, send Thine angels unto us, we pray; Leave us not to wander, all alone our way; Let them guard and guide us, wheresoe'er we be, Till our resurrection brings us home to Thee. Angels, sing His triumph, etc. Ph. Brooks. 180 HE LIVES! My Lord has left the grave! He lives, who died the world to save! 2 May friend to friend the message tell, 3 To mortal man He doth impart And that to every trusting heart 4 The night of death, so dark and drear, The future opens bright and clear, 5 The gloomy path my Savior trod 6 Nor should we mourn when those we love 7 He lives! and now forevermore O let us, then, His name adore Tell it with a joyful voice; F. Novalis. H. Brueckner, Tr. He has burst His three days' prison, 2 Tell it to the sinner, weeping Over deeds in darkness done; 3 Come, with high and holy gladness, Soon a brighter Easter beam On our longing eyes shall stream. 182 C. F. Alexander. I KNOW that my Redeemer lives! What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead, He lives, my ever-living Head. 2 He lives, triumphant from the grave; He lives, all glorious in the sky; 3 He lives, to bless me with His love; 4 He lives, to grant me rich supply; 5 He lives, to silence all my fears; 6 He lives, my kind, wise, heav'nly Friend; He lives, and while He lives, I'll sing: 7 He lives, and grants me daily breath; 8 He lives, all glory to His name! S. Medley. 183 JESUS Christ is ris'n today, Hallelujah! Our triumphant holy day, Hallelujah! Who did once upon the cross, Hallelujah! Suffer to redeem our loss, Hallelujah! 2 Hymns of praise then let us sing, Hallelujah! Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Hallelujah! Who endured the cross and grave, Hallelujah! Sinners to redeem and save, Hallelujah! 3 But the pains which He endured, Hallelujah! Our salvation have procured, Hallelujah! Now above the sky He's King, Hallelujah! Where the angels ever sing, Hallelujah! From the Latin. Lyra Davidica, Tr. 184 JESUS lives! no longer now Can thy terrors, death, appall us; Jesus lives! by this we know From the grave He will recall us. Brighter scenes will there commence! This shall be our confidence. 2 Jesus lives! to Him the throne High o'er heaven and earth is given; We shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven. God is pledged; weak doubtings hence! This shall be our confidence. 3 Jesus lives! We know full well, Naught from us His love shall sever; God will be a sure defense: 4 Jesus lives! henceforth is death |
