Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise
Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #331 (1985) Meter: 7.7.7.7 with alleluia Scripture: 2 Kings 2:3 Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees him rise, Alleluia!
to his throne beyond the skies, Alleluia!
Christ, awhile to mortals giv'n, Alleluia!
enters now his native heav'n, Alleluia!
2 See, he lifts his hand above! Alleluia!
See, he shows the prints of love! Alleluia!
Hark, his gracious lips bestow, Alleluia!
blessing on his church below, Alleluia!
3 Still for us he intercedes, Alleluia!
His prevailing death he pleads, Alleluia!
near himself prepares our place, Alleluia!
he the firstfruits of our race, Alleluia!
4 Master (we will ever say), Alleluia!
taken from our sight today, Alleluia!
see thy faithful servants, see, Alleluia!
ever gazing up to thee, Alleluia!
5 Grant, though parted from our sight, Alleluia!
high above yon azure height...Alleluia!
grant our hearts may thither rise, Alleluia!
following thee beyond the skies. Alleluia!
6 There we shall with thee remain, Alleluia!
partners of thy endless reign; Alleluia!
there thy face unclouded see, Alleluia!
find our heaven of heavens in thee. Alleluia!

Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise
See, the Conqueror Mounts in Triumph
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #334 (1985) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 2 Kings 2:9-11 Lyrics: 1 See, the Conqu'ror mounts in triumph,
see the King in royal state
riding on the clouds, his chariot
to his heav'nly palace gate;
Hark! the choirs of angel voices
joyful Alleluias sing
and the portals high are lifted
to receive their heav'nly King.
2 Who is he that comes in glory
with the trump of jubilee?
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 has vanquished sin and Satan,
he by death has spoiled his foes.
3 While he lifts his hands in blessing
he is parted from his friends;
while their eager eyes behold him,
he upon the clouds ascends;
he who walked with God and pleased him,
preaching truth and doom to come,
he, our Enoch, is translated
to his everlasting home.
4 Now our heav'nly Aaron enters
with his blood within the veil;
Joshua now is come to Canaan,
and the kings before him quail.
Now he plants the tribes of Israel
in their promised resting place,
now our great Elijah offers
double portion of his grace.
5 He has raised our human nature
on the clouds to God's right hand;
there we sit in heav'nly places,
there with thee in glory stand;
Jesus reigns, adored by angels,
mighty Lord, in thine Ascension
we by faith behold our own.

To Thy divinest speech, their hearts awake
To human need, their lips make eloquent
To gird the right and ev'ry evil break.

For pardon, and for charity and peace.
Ah, if with them the world might, now astray,
Find in our Lord from all its woes release!

Anoint them with the Spirit of Thy Son.
Theirs not a jeweled crown, a blood-stained sword;
Theirs, by sweet love, for Christ a kingdom won.

Forth may they go to tell all realms Thy grace.
Inspired of Thee, may they count all but loss
And stand at last with joy before Thy face.

We celebrate with songs of praise;
For Christ, through whom all things were made,
Himself has fasted and has prayed.
2 Alone and fasting Moses saw
The loving God who gave the Law;
And to Elijah, fasting, came
The steeds and chariots of flame.
3 So Daniel trained his mystic sight,
Delivered from the lion's might;
And John, the Bridegroom’s friend, became
The herald of Messiah's name.
4 Then grant that we like them be true,
Consumed in fast and pray'r with you;
Our spirits strengthen with your grace,
And give us joy to see your face.
5 O Father, Son, and Spirit blest,
To you be ev'ry pray'r addressed;
Who are in threefold Name adored,
From age to age the only Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: ERHALT UNS, HERR

And did those feet in ancient time (Jerusalem)

walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
among these dark satanic mills?
2 Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
till we have built Jerusalem
in England's green and pleasant land. Topics: Evangelism; Faith, Trust and Commitment; The Nation; Year A Epiphany 2 Languages: English Tune Title: JERUSALEM

We Have Come at Christ's Own Bidding
Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr. (1944-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #166 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Scripture: 2 Kings 2:1-14 Lyrics: 1 We have come at Christ’s own bidding
to this high and holy place,
where we wait with hope and longing
for some token of God’s grace.
Here we pray for new assurance
that our faith is not in vain,
searching like those first disciples
for a sign both clear and plain.
2 Light breaks in upon our darkness,
splendour bathes the flesh-joined Word,
Moses and Elijah marvel
as the heavenly voice is heard.
Eyes and hearts behold with wonder
how the law and prophets meet:
Christ, with garments drenched in brightness,
stands transfigured and complete.
3 Strengthened by this glimpse of glory,
fearful lest our faith decline,
we like Peter find it tempting
to remain and build a shrine.
But true worship gives us courage
to proclaim what we profess,
that our daily lives may prove us
people of the God we bless. Topics: Transfiguration Languages: English Tune Title: O MEIN JESU, ICH MUSS STERBEN

Transfigured Christ, None Comprehends
Author: Alan Gaunt (1935-) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #168 (1998) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: 2 Kings 2:1-14 Lyrics: 1 Transfigured Christ, none comprehends
your majesty, whose splendour stuns
all waking souls; whose light transcends
the brightness of a thousand suns!
2 You stand with Moses on the hill,
you speak of your new exodus.
The way through death, you will fulfil
by dying helpless on the cross.
3 You stand here with Elijah too,
by whom the still small voice was heard:
and you, yourself, will prove God true,
made mute in death, incarnate Word.
4 If we could bear your brightness here
and stay for ever in your light,
then we would conquer grief and fear,
and scorn the terrors of the night.
5 But, from the heights, you bring us down,
to share earth's agonies with you,
where piercing thorns are made your crown
and death, accepted, proves love true.
6 Majestic Christ, God's well-loved son,
if we must share your grief and loss,
transfigure us, when all is done,
with glory shining from your cross. Topics: Transfiguration Languages: English Tune Title: BROCKHAM
