HYMN 87. L.M.
New-Year. (cont.)
5 |
Our helper God, in whom we trust,
In better worlds, our souls shall boast.
|
HYMN 88. C.M.
The Birth of Christ.
1 |
AWAKE, awake the sacred song
To our incarnate Lord;
Let ev'ry heart, and ev'ry tongue
Adore th' eternal Word.
|
2 |
Sinners awake, with angels join,
And chant the solemn lay;
Joy, love, and gratitude combine,
To hail th' auspicious day.
|
3 |
Then shone almighty pow'r and love,
In all their glorious forms;
When Jesus left his throne above,
To dwell with sinful worms.
|
4 |
Adoring angels tun'd their songs
To hail the joyful day;
With rapture then, let mortal tongues
Their grateful worship pay.
|
5 |
Hail, Prince of life, for ever hail!
Redeemer, Brother, Friend!
Tho' earth, and time, and life should fail,
Thy praise shall never end.
|
HYMN 89. L.M.
The Resurrection of Christ.
1 |
CHRIST, the Lord, is ris'n to-day,
Sons of men and angels say;
Raise your joys and triumphs high,
Sing, ye heav'ns, and earth reply,
|
2 |
Love's redeeming work is done,
Fought the 6ght, the kittle won:
Lo! the sun's eclipse is o'er,
Lo! he sets in blood no more.

HYMN 89. L.M.
The Resurrection of Christ. (cont.)
3 |
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal,
Christ has burst the gate of hell;
Death in vain forbids his rise,
Christ hath open'd Paradise.
|
4 |
Lives again our glorious King!
"Where, O death, is now thy sting!"
Once he died our souls to save:
"Where's thy vict'ry, boasting grave?"
|
5 |
Hail, the Lord of earth and heav'n!
Praise to thee by both be giv'n!
Thee we greet triumphant now,
Hail! the RESURRECTION — Thou.
|
HYMN 90. P.M.
The Ascension and Kingdom of Christ.
1 |
REJOICE, the Lord is King,
Th' ascended King adore;
Mortals, give thanks, and sing
And triumph evermore!
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.
|
2 |
Rejoice, the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love:
When he had purg'd our stains,
He took his seat above:
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.
|
3 |
His kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o'er earth and heav'n;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus giv'n:
Lift up the heart, lift up the voice,
Rejoice aloud, ye saints, rejoice.
|
4 |
Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus the Judge shall come,
