He sets in blood no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal! Christ hath burst the gates of hell! Death in vain forbids Him rise; Christ hath opened paradise. 4 Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting? Dying once, He all doth save; Where thy victory, O grave? 5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head; Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. 6 Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven!

Thirsting as for dews of even, As the new-mown grass for rain, Thee they seek, as God of heaven, Thee as Man, for sinners slain. 3 Saviour, lo, the isles are waiting, Stretched the hand, and strained the sight, For Thy Spirit, new-creating, Love's pure flame, and wisdom's light.

But this Saviour died to have us Reconciled in Him to God: This was boundless love indeed; Jesus is a Friend in need. 3 When He lived on earth abasèd, Friend of sinners was His Name: Now, above all glory raisèd, He rejoices in the same: Still He calls them brethren, friends, And to all their wants attends. 4 O for grace our hearts to soften! Teach us, Lord, at length to love. We, alas, forget too often, What a Friend we have above: But when home our souls are brought, We will love Thee as we ought. Amen.

Perish ev'ry fond ambition, All I've sought, or hoped, or known; Yet how rich is my condition: God and heav'n are still my own. 2 Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heav'n will bring me sweeter rest. O 'tis not in grief to harm me While Thy love is left to me; O 'twere not in joy to charm me, Were that joy unmixed with Thee. 3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation, Rise o'er sin, and fear, and care; Joy to find in every station Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Saviour died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine? 4 Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close thine earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days; Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 10:38 Used With Tune: ST. HILARY

Calm on the Listening Ear of Night

"Glory to God!" the sounding skies Loud with their anthems ring: "Peace on the earth; good will to men," From heaven's eternal King. 4 This day shall Christian tongues be mute, And Christian hearts be cold? O catch the anthem that from heaven O'er Judah's mountains rolled, When burst upon that listening night The high and solemn lay, "Glory to God; on earth be peace": Salvation comes to-day. Amen.
