Christ's Ascension

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #LXXI (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Our Lord has risen from the dead Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead, Our Jesus is gone up on high; The pow'rs of hell are captive led, Dragg'd to the portals of the sky. 2 There his triumphant chariot waits And angels chant the solemn lay; "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates, "Ye everlasting doors, give way!" 3 Loose all your massy bars of light, And wide unfold the radiant scene; He claims those mansions as his right, Receive the King of glory in. 4 "Who is the king of glory, who?" The Lord that all his foes o'ercame, The world, sin, death and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the conqu'ror's name. 5 "Who is the king of glory, who?" The Lord of boundless pow'r possest, The king of saints and angels too, God over all, forever blest. Topics: Christ His ascension Scripture: Psalm 24:7 Languages: English

Lord, I would seize the golden hour; I pray to be releas'd from guilt, And freed from sin and Satan's pow'r. 4 More of thy presence, Lord, impart, More of thine image let me bear; Erect thy throne within my heart, And reign without a rival there.

He ran to our relief. 3 Down from the shining seats above With joyful haste he fled, Entered the grave in mortal flesh, And dwelt among the dead. 4 He spoil'd the pow'rs of darkness thus, And brake our iron chains; Jesus hath freed our captive souls From everlasting pains. [5 In vain the baffled prince of hell His cursed projects tries; We, that were doom'd his endless slaves Are rais'd above the skies.] [6 O for this love, let rocks and hills Their lasting silence break, And all harmonious human tongues The Saviour's praises speak.] 7 Yes, we will praise thee, dearest Lord, Our souls are all on flame; Hosanna round the spacious earth To thine adored name! 8 Angels, assist our mighty joys, Strike all your harps of gold; But when you raise your highest notes, His love can ne'er be told.

But stand securely on the brink Of everlasting woe. 2 Chaldea's king profanely bold, The Lord of Hosts defy'd. But vengeance soon his boasts control'd, And humbled all his pride. 3 He saw a hand upon the wall, (And trembled on his throne) Which wrote his sudden dreadful fall In characters unknown. 4 See him o'erwhelm'd with deep distress! His eyes with anguish roll; His looks and loosen'd joints express The terrors of his soul. 5 His pomp, and music, guests and wine, No more delight afford. O sinners, e'er this ease be thine, Begin to seek the Lord. 6 The law like this hand writing stands, And speaks the wrath of God; But Jesus answers its demands, And cancels it with blood.
