Be near when I am dying, This is a continuation of pa e 79. 1. THE Saviour, what a noble flame 2. Good-will to men, and zeal for God, 3. With all Ilis sufferings full in view, 'T was love that urged Him on. 4. Lord, we return Thee what we can; Our hearts shall sound abroad, Salvation to the dying man, And to the rising God! 5. And while Thy bleeding glories here Engage our wondering eyes, We learn our lighter cross to bear, 250. C. M. COWPER. 1. BEHOLD, where, in a mortal form Appears each grace divine; The virtues, all in Jesus met, With mildest radiance shine. 2. To spread the rays of heavenly light, 3. 'Midst keen reproach, and cruel scorn, 4. In the last hour of deep distress, With soul resigned, He bowed, and said, 5. Be Christ our pattern and our guide; O, may we tread His holy steps, 251. C. M. ENFIELD. 1. BEHOLD the Saviour of mankind 2. Hark! how He groans, while nature shakes, 3. 'Tis finished! now the ransom's paid, "Receive my soul!" He cries: See how He bows His sacred head! He bows His head and dies! 4. But soon He'll break death's iron-chain, And in full glory shine; O Lamb of God! was ever pain- STEPHENS. C. M. 4 1. O Thou 0- ternal King most high! Who didst the world redeem; 2. Thou, through the starry orbs, this day, Didst to Thy throne ascend; Thenceforth to reign in sovereign power, And glory without end. 3. There, seated in Thy majesty, To Thee submissive bow The Heav'n of Heav'ns, the spacious earth, 4. When Thou shinest on the clouds, May we be saved from vengeance due, 5. Glory to Jesus, who returns Triumphantly to Heaven; 253. C. M. LYRA CATIL 1. JESUS, our Lord, ascend Thy throne, And near Thy Father sit: In Zion shall Thy power be known, 2.

YES, the Redeemer rose; The Saviour left the dead; And o'er our hellish foes High raised His conquering head. In wild dismay, the guards around, Fall to the ground, and sink away. 2. Lo! the angelic bands In full assembly meet, Joyful they come, and wing their way, 3. Then back to heaven they fly, The joyful news to bear: and sink a way. Hark! as they soar on high, What music fills the air! Their anthems say,- Jesus, who bled, Hath left the dead, He rose to-day.' 4. Ye mortals, catch the sound, Redeemed by Him from hell; The globe on which you dwell; Who sav'st us with Thy blood! Wide be Thy name adored, Thou, rising, reigning God. With Thee we rise, with Thee we reign, And empires gain beyond the skies. DODDRIDGE. |
