3 There your exalted Saviour see, Seated at God's right hand again; In all his Father's majesty, In everlasting pow'r to reign. 4 To him continually aspire, Contending for your destin'd place, And only live to love and praise, HYMN 71. 1 Cor. xv. 20, 21, 22. Col, iii. 1. 1 CHRIST from the dead is rais'd and made The First Fruits of the tomb; For, as by man canie death, by man 2 For, as in Adam all mankind So, by the righteousness of Christ, 3 If then ye risen are with Christ, The things which are above, where Christ ASCENSION. (C. M.) HYMN 72. 1 HE dies! the Friend of sinners dies! A sudden trembling shakes the ground! 2 Ye saints approach! the anguish view, Of him who groans beneath your load; For you he sheds his precious blood. (L. M.) 6 Say, "Live for ever glorious King, HYMN 73. 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 triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay; "Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates! "Ye everlasting doors, give way!" 3 Loose all your bars of massy light, 4 And wide unfold the radiant scene; He claims those mansions as his right; Receive the King of Glory in. "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 conq'ror's name. 5 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay, "Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates! "Ye everlasting doors give way!" 6 "Who is the King of Glory, who?" The Lord of boundless pow'r possess❜d, The King of saints and angels too, God over all, for ever bless'd. WHITSUNDAY. HYMN 74. 1 COME, holy Ghost! Creator, come, Till every heart which thou hast made, 2 Thou art the Comforter, the gift 3 Thy gifts are manifold, thou writ'st (L. M.) (C. M.) 4 Enlighten our dark souls, till they 5 Drive far from us the mortal foe, That, by thy guidance blest, we may 6 Teach us the Father to confess, HYMN 75. 1 COME, Holy Spirit, Heav'nly Dove, With all thy quick'ning pow'rs Kindle a flame of sacred love In these cold hearts of ours. 2 See how we grovel here below, 3 In vain we tune our lifeless songs, fosannas languish on our tongues, Come, Holy Spirit, Heav'nly Dove, HYMN 76. 1 HE'S come! let every knee be bent, 2 What greater gift, what greater love, Angels for this rejoice above, 3 Hail, blessed Spirit! may each soul Do thou each sinful thought control, 4 Thou to the conscience dost convey, Those checks which we should know; Thy motions point to us the way; (C. M.) (C. M.) TRINITY SUNDAY. HYMN 77. 1 O HOLY, holy, holy, Lord, Bright in thy deeds and in thy name, 3 O Holy Spirit, from above, In streams of light and glory giv'n, Thy praises ring through earth and heav'n! 4 O God triune! to thee we owe Our ev'ry thought, our ev'ry song; From saint and seraph's burning tongue! HYMN 78. 1 FATHER of all, whose love profound Mysterious Godhead, Three in one! HYMN 79. 1 WE give immortal praise That man had done. (LM) (L. M.) (IL 4) 2 To God the Son belongs Who sav'd us by his blood And now he reigns, 3 To God the Spirit, praise 4 Almighty God! to thee FAST-DAY. HYMN SO. 1 ALMIGHTY Lord! before thy throne Thy mourning people bend! 'Tis on thy pard'ning grace alone Our prostrate nopes depend. 2 Dark judgments, from thy heavy hand, Yet mercy spares our guilty land, 3 How chang'd, alas! are truths divine, What impious numbers, bold in sin, 4 O turn us, turn us, mighty Lord, Then shall our hearts obey thy word, 5 Then, should oppressing foes invade, Secure of all-sufficient aid, When God, our God, is near.
