SUMMERSIDE. 8, 7. D. REV: JOHN BLACK: 225 Easter anthem. 1 SING with all the sons of glory, Knows the everlasting peace. 20 what glory, far exceeding All that eye has yet perceived! Holiest hearts for ages pleading, Never that full joy conceived. God has promised, Christ prepares it, There on high our welcome waits; Every humble spirit shares it, Christ has passed the eternal gates. 3 Life eternal! heaven rejoices, Jesus lives who once was dead; Join, O man, the deathless voices, Child of God, lift up thy head! Patriarchs from the distant ages, Saints all longing for their heaven, Prophets, psalmists, seers and sages, All await the glory given. 4 Life eternal! O what wonders Crowd on faith; what joy unknown, When, amidst earth's closing thunders, Saints shall stand before the throne! O to enter that bright portal, See that glowing firmament, Know, with thee, O God immortal, "Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent! 226 WILLIAM J. IRONS, Jesus, victor over death. 1 COME, ye saints, look here and wonder; Yes, the Lord has risen to-day. Praises to the Victor's name. 3 Jesus triumphs! countless legions Songs eternal Shall through heaven's high arches ring. THOMAS KELLY, 228 Christ, the Conqueror. 2 Our enemy is put to shame, 3 O let thy conquering banner wave 4 We bury all our sin and crime And seek the treasure there, that time Nor change can e'er consume. 5 We die with thee: O let us live The blessings thou hast died to give 6 Fearless we lay us in the tomb, If thou art there to break the gloom, BENJAMIN SCHMOLKE, TR. BY MISS C. WINKWORTH, 3 Now let the heavens be joyful! Their notes let all things blend, JOHN OF DAMASCUS. TR. BY J, M. NEALE, Of the Father's Godhead true and only Son, Manhood to deliver, manhood didst put on. 4 Thou, of life the author, death didst undergo, Tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show; Come then, true and faithful, now fulfill thy word, 'Tis thine own third morning, rise, my buried Lord! 5 Loose the souls long-prisoned, bound with Satan's chain; All that now is fallen raise to life again; Show thy face in brightness, bid the nations see, Bring again our daylight; day returns with thee! 3 Here's love and grief beyond degree' 4 The rising God forsakes the tomb; 5 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell 6 Say, "Live forever, wondrous King! Born to redeem, and strong to save; Then ask the monster, "Where's thy sting?" And, "Where's thy victory, boasting Grave?" ISAAC WATTS, ALT. BY J. WESLEY, |
