Lord of battles, God of armies, He has gained the victory! He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He hath vanquished sin and Satan, He by death hath spoiled His foes. 3 He hath raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with Him in glory stand; Jesus reigns adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne: Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own.

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 89 hymnals Topics: Christ As Man of Sorrows Lyrics: 1 Stricken, smitten, and afflicted, see him dying on the tree! 'Tis the Christ by man rejected; yes, my soul, 'tis he, 'tis he! 'Tis the long-expected Prophet, David's Son, yet David's Lord; by his Son God now has spoken: 'tis the true and faithful Word. 2 Tell me, ye who hear him groaning, was there ever grief like his? Friends thro' fear his cause disowning, foes insulting his distress; many hands were raised to wound him, none would interpose to save; but the deepest stroke that pierced him was the stroke that Justice gave. 3 Ye who think of sin but lightly nor suppose the evil great here may view its nature rightly, here its guilt may estimate. Mark the sacrifice appointed, see who bears the awful load; 'tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed, Son of Man and Son of God. 4 Here we have a firm foundation, here the refuge of the lost; Christ's the Rock of our salvation, his the name of which we boast. Lamb of God, for sinners wounded, sacrifice to cancel guilt! None shall ever be confounded who on him their hope have built. Scripture: Isaiah 53:3-7 Used With Tune: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN

His glories now we sing who died and rose on high, Who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 4 Crown him the Lord of peace whose kingdom is at hand; from pole to pole let warfare cease and Christ rule every land! A city stands on high; Christ's glory it displays, and there the nations "Holy" cry in joyful hymns of praise. 5 Crown him the Lord of years, the Source, the End of time, Creator of the rolling spheres in majesty sublime. All hail, Redeemer, hail, for you have died for me; your praise shall never, never fail through all eternity! Scripture: Isaiah 53:4 Used With Tune: DIADEMATA

Like yesterday's departed light; Or the last watch of ending night. Pause. 5 Death like an overflowing stream, Sweeps us away; our life's a dream; An empty tale; a morning flower, Cut down and wither'd in an hour.] 6 [Our age to seventy years is set; How short the time! how frail the state! And if to eighty we arrive, We rather sigh, and groan than live. 7 But oh how oft thy wrath appears, And cuts off our expected years! Thy wrath awakes our humble dread! We fear the power that strikes us dead.] 8 Teach us, O Lord, how frail is man; And kindly lengthen out our span, 'Till a wise care of piety Fit us to die, and dwell with thee. Scripture: Psalm 90

[5 Yet while he liv'd on earth unknown, And men would not adore, Behold obedient nature own, His Godhead and his power. 6 The waves lay spread beneath his feet; And fish at his command, Bring their large shoals to Peter's net, Bring tribute to his hand. 7 These smaller glories of the Son, Shone through the fleshy cloud; Now we behold him on his throne, And men confess him God. 8 Let him with majesty be crown'd, Who bow'd his head to death; And his eternal honours sound, From all things that have breath. 9 Jesus, our Lord, how wondrous great Is thine exalted name! The glories of thy heavenly state Let the whole earth proclaim. Scripture: Psalm 8

They make our expectations vain, And disappoint our trust. 6 Now I forbid my carnal hope, My fond desires recal; I give my mortal interest up, And make my God my all. Scripture: Psalm 39:4-7
