Wide unfold the radiant scene, 2 Him, though highest heav'n receives, 3 Master, (may we ever say) Grant, though parted from our sight, Grant our hearts may thither rise, 4 Ever upward let us move, HYMN 123. P. M. ANGELS! roll the rock away; Death! yield up thy mighty prey : Glowing with immortal bloom. Hallelujahr. 2 'Tis the Saviour! Angels, raise Fame's eternal trump of praise; Let the earth's remotest bound Hear the joy-inspiring sound. Hallelujah. 3 Now, ye saints, lift up your eyes, In long triumph up the sky, Up to waiting worlds on high. Hallelujah. 4 Heaven displays her portals wide, Glorious Jesus, through them ride ; Thy great Father's and thine own. Hallelujah. 5 Praise him all ye heav'nly choirs, Praise, and sweep your golden lyres; Let the strains be sweet and strong. Hallelujah. 6 Ev'ry note with wonder swell, Sin o'erthrown, and captiv'd hell: Where is hell's once dreaded king? Where, O death, thy mortal sting? Hallelujah. HYMN 124. C. M. O FOR a shout of sacred joy To God the Sov'reign King! 2 Jesus our God ascends on high; 3 While angels shout and praise their King, 4 Rehearse his praise with awe profound ; 5 In Israel stood his ancient throne, 6 The Gentile nations are the Lord's, While pow'rs and princes, shields and swords, HYMN 125. L. M. Now let us raise our cheerful strains, 2 While seraphs tune the immortal song, 3. Jesus, who once upon the tree Who dy'd for rebels-yes, 'tis he! How bright how lovely! how admir'd ! 4 Jesus, who dy'd that we might live, 5 Were universal nature ours, And art with all her boasted store; 6 Yet though for bounty, so divine! HYMN 126. L. M. EXALTED Prince of Life, we own 2 Exalted Saviour, we confess The sov'reign triumphs of thy grace; 3 Wide thy resistless sceptre sway, Wide may thy cross its virtue prove, 4 Mighty to vanquish, and forgive! Thine Israel shall repent and live; And loud proclaim thy healing breath, Which works their life, who wrought thy death. HYMN 127. C. M. JESUS, thou highest, loveliest name Of all on earth or heav'n, The bless'd reward of all thy shame, 2 Because thou didst thy heav'ns bow, 3 In fashion as that fallen race, 4 Beçam'st obedient unto death, Nor could'st, nor would'st thou flee; But humbly didst resign thy breath Upon the shameful tree! 5 Therefore hath God exalted thee, Where thou shalt prais'd and worshipp'd be HYMN 128. L. M. THUS the eternal Father spake 2 From Zion shall thy word proceed; |
