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. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives, And His life I yet shall see; 3 Close to Him my soul is bound, 9.6. 180 I am He that liveth, and was dead. 1 -Rev. 1, 18. !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, He death's dark king defeated, Heaven's happy myriads bow before He comes, the Judge of men; Lord Jesus! own me then. L.M. 181 The Lord is among them, as in Sinai, in the holy place.-Ps. 68, 17. ORD,whenThoudidst ascend on high, LORD, angels filled the sky: 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. C.M. 182 God is gone up with a shout.-Ps. 1 47, 5. FOR a shout of sacred joy, 3 While angels shout and praise their 4 Rehearse His praise with awe profound, 3 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; ? The Lord shall come! but not the same 3 The Lord shall come! a dreadful form, With rainbow wreath and robes of storm, On cherub wings, and wings of wind; Appointed Judge of all mankind. 4 Can this be He, once wont to stray 5 While sinners in despair shall call, 184 Behold, He cometh with clouds. 1 Rev. 1, 7. O! He comes, with clouds descending, Once for favoured sinners slain! Thousand thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train: Hallelujah! Jesus now shall ever reign. 2 Every eye shall now behold Him Robed in dreadful majesty; Those who set at nought and sold Him, Pierced and nailed Him to the tree, Deeply wailing, 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 THE 8.7.8.7.8.8.7. I will come again.-John 14, 3. Outstretched in fear and wonder; A meek and suffering stranger, 3 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 all, Watch.-Mark 13, 37. 1 Yach in his office wait, 2 Let all your lamps be bright, 3 4 Watch, tis your Lord's command, O happy servant he In such a posture found; He shall his Lord with rapture see, And be with honour crowned. 5 Christ shall the banquet spread And raise that favoured servant's head |
