Sacer, 1635-99 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 See God to heaven ascending In triumph to his throne, Great shouts in tumult blending With trumpets' thrilling tone! Sing praises to your Lord! Sing praises, bring ovations, To Christ, the King of nations, The God of hosts adored! 2 Lo, heaven with joy is sounding His glad return to see; Behold the saints surrounding The Lord who set them free; Now myriad angels come, The cherub band rejoices, And clearest seraph voices All welcome Jesus home. 3 We see the steps ascending That raised our Head on high; We see the highway wending To heaven's unending joy. Our Savior leads the way; Yet he would not bereave us, A well-marked path would leave us, Prepares our passageway. 4 Our minds are heavenward tending, Where he prepares our place; Our course on earth is ending, There to adore his grace. Bestir your heart and soul! Where Jesus Christ has entered, There let your hope be centered; There run to reach your goal! 5 Let all our thoughts be winging, With thee to heaven ascend; Let all our hearts be singing: "We seek thee, Savior, Friend, Thee, God's anointed Son, Our Life and Way to heaven, To whom all power is given, Our Joy and Hope and Crown."

Author: C. V. Pilcher; Hallgrim Petursson, 1614-1674 Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Upon the cross down-lying, The Lord was crucified; In hate, kind love defying, Their task the soldiers plied: His limbs they stretched amain, The sacred hands outbending; His feet the nails were rending: Dread was that awful pain. 2 Toward Thy hands upgazing I whisper evermore, This agony amazing For me, for me He bore. He only thus could right My hands' misdeeds appalling; Cleansed by His blood down falling, Behold, my sins are white. 3 My feet too oft went straying Down luring paths of sin; Thy feet, close nailed, are paying This price God's grace to win. Henceforward let me cease To sing Thy praises never: Christ, guide my feet forever Into the way of peace. Topics: The Church Year Passion Used With Tune: THOMISSÖN

Rejoice, ye long dejected, Here comes the Morning Star! The Lord will give you joy; Tho' troubles now distress you, With comfort He will bless you, E’en death He will destroy. 4 Arise, ye poor and needy!

For, lo, He means it well; Then willing bear the crosses That He Himself imposes, Nor let your courage fail. 6 O rich the gifts Thou bringest, Thyself made poor and weak! O Love beyond expression, That thus can sinners seek! For this, O Lord, will we Our joyous tribute bring Thee And glad hosannas sing Thee, And ever grateful be. Amen.

The power of sin no longer

Author: Thomas Kingo, 1634-1703; J. C. Aaberg Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.7.7.6 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: The power of sin no longer Within my heart shall reign; Faith must grow ever stronger And carnal lust be slain; For when I was baptized, The bonds of sin were severed And I by grace delivered To live for Jesus Christ. Would I accept the merit Of my baptismal grace And with my faith and spirit The Savior’s cross embrace, How great would be my blame Should I abide in evil And not renounce the devil In Christ my Savior’s name. It can bestow no treasure On me that Christ arose. If I will not with pleasure The power of death oppose, And with my heart embrace The Savior, who is risen And has from error’s prison Redeemed me by His grace. Lord Jesus, help me ever To fight “the old man” so That he shall not deliver Me to eternal woe, But that I here may die From sin and all offences And, by the blood that cleanses, Attain my home on high.
