When we pass its gloomy portal; Faith shall cry, as fails each sense: "Lord, Thou art our confidence!" C. F. Gellert. F. E. Cox, Tr. 185 HALLELUJAH! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The song of triumph hath begun. 2 The powers of death have done their worst, 3 The three sad days have quickly sped; 4 He closed the yawning gates of hell; 5 Lord, by the stripes which wounded Thee, From death's dread sting Thy servants free, That we may live and sing to Thee, Hallelujah! From the Latin. F. Pott, Tr. 186 WE WILL carol joyfully, On this holy festal day; To our risen Lord and King. 2 We will carol joyfully, As with sweet accord we bring Praise from every heart and voice To our risen Lord and King. Carol, carol, etc. 3 We will carol joyfully, While our love and thanks we give Him who died that we might live. 4 We will carol joyfully, And to Him our offerings bringGrateful hearts, with love and praise, To our risen Lord and King. Carol, carol, etc. Anon. 3 Draw us to Thee, The angels praise adoring; To Thee above, Thy name in death imploring. 4 Draw us to Thee, Grant us to rise To yon abode of glory; On Thee to rest With joyful eyes, And fall in praise before Thee. F. Funcke. A. T. Russell, Tr. 188 LOOK, ye saints! the sight is glorious! See the Man of Sorrows now! From the fight return'd victorious, Ev'ry knee to Him shall bow: Crown Him! Crown Him! Crowns become the Victor's brow. 2 Crown the Savior! angels, crown Him! Crown the Savior King of kings. 3 Sinners in derision crowned Him, 4 Hark! those bursts of acclamation! Hark! those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O what joy the sight affords! Crown Him! Crown Him! King of kings, and Lord of lords! T. Kelly. 189 TH 'H' ETERNAL gates lift up their heads, The doors are opened wide; The King of glory is gone up 2 Thou art gone in before us, Lord, That we may be where now Thou art, 3 And ever on Thine earthly path A light still breaks behind the clouds 4 Lift up our thoughts, lift up our songs, 5 That where Thou art at God's right hand, Our hope, our love may be: Dwell in us now, that we may dwell C. F. Alexander. |
