1042 He rose again the third day.—1 Cor. 15. 4

THE day of

1 HE day of Resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;

The Passover of gladness,

The Passover of God!.
From death to life eternal,

From earth unto the sky,
Our Christ has brought us over,
With hymns of victory.

2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
That we may see aright
The Lord in rays eternal

Of

resurrection-light;

And, listening to His accents,
May hear so calm and plain
His own "All hail," and, hearing,
May raise the victor strain.

3 Now let the heavens be joyful,
And earth her song begin,
Let the round world keep triumph,
And all that is therein;
Invisible and visible,

Their notes let all things blend,
For Christ the Lord is risen,
Our joy that hath no end!

1045 The same day at evening... came Jesus,

1

and stood in the midst.-John 20. 19.

ON the first Christian Sabbath eve,

When His disciples met,

O'er His lost fellowship to grieve,
Nor knew the Scriptures yet,—

2 Lo, in their midst His form was seen,
The form in which He died,

Their Master's marred and wounded mien,
His hands, His feet, His side.

3 Then were they glad their Lord to know,
And worshipped, yet with fear.
Jesus, again Thy presence show;
Meet Thy disciples here.

4 Be in our midst let faith rejoice
Our risen Lord to view;

Sing, for the door of the dungeon is open,
The captive came forth at the dawn of the
day;
[broken;
How vain the precautions! the signet is
The watchmen in terror have fled far away.
Praise the Redeemer, almighty to save;
Emmanuel has triumphed o'er Death and the
Grave!

2 Praise to the Conqueror; O tell of His love! In pity to mortals He came from above.

Who shall rebuild for the tyrant his prison? The sceptre lies broken that fell from his hands:

His dominion is ended; the Lord has arisen, The helpless shall soon be released from their bands.

Praise the Redeemer, almighty to save,

Emmanuel has triumphed o'er Death and the W. GROSER. 1854.
