HYMN 90. P.M.
The Ascension and Kingdom of Christ. (cont.)
4 |
And take his servants up
To their eternal home:
We soon shall hear the Archangel's voice,
The trump of God shall sound, REJOICE.
|
HYMN 91. P.M.
The Ascension and Kingdom of Christ.
1 |
WHEN the blest day of Pentecost
Was fully come; the Holy Ghost
Descended from above,
Sent by the Father and the Son:
The Sender and the Sent are one,
The Lord of life and love.
|
2 |
But were the first disciples blest
With heav'nly gifts? And shall the rest
Be pass'd unheeded by?
What? Has the Holy Ghost forgot
To quicken souls, that Christ has bought;
And let them lifeless lie?
|
3 |
No, thou almighty Paraclete!
Thou shedd'st thy heav'nly influ'nce yet;
Thou visit'st sinners still:
Thy breath of life, thy quick'ning flame,
Thy pow'r, thy Godhead, still the same,
We own; because we feel.
|
HYMN 92. S.M.
A morning hymn.
1 |
SEE how fche mounting sun
Pursues his shining way;
And wide proclaims his Maker's praise,
With ev'ry brightening ray.
|
2 |
Thus would my rising soul
Her heav'nly Parent sing;
And to her great Original,
Her humbler tribute bring.

HYMN 92. S.M.
A morning hymn. (cont.)
3 |
Serene I laid me down
Beneath his guardian care;
I slept, and I awoke, and found
My kind Preserver near!
|
4 |
Thus doth thine arm support
This weak defenceless frame;
But whence such favours, Lord, to me,
All worthless as I am?
|
5 |
O! how shall I repay
The bounties of my God
This feeble spirit pants beneath
The pleasing, painful load.
|
6 |
Dear Saviour, to thy cross
I bring my sacrifice;
Cleans'd by thy blood, it shall ascend
With fragrance to the skies.
|
7 |
My life I would anew
Devote, O Lord, to thee;
And in thy service wish to spend
A long eternity.
|
HYMN 93. C.M.
A morning hymn.
1 |
ONCE more, my soul, the rising day
Salutes thy waking eyes;
Once more, my voice, thy tribute pay
To him, that rules the skies.
|
2 |
Night unto night his name repeats,
The day renews the sound;
Wide as the heav'n, on which he sits,
To turn the seasons round.
|
3 |
'Tis he supports my mortal frame;
My tongue shall speak his praise:
My sins would rouse his wrath to flame,
And yet his wrath delays.
