3 He, in the days of feeble flesh,
Pour'd out his cries and tears;
And, in his measure, feels afresh
What ev'ry member bears.

4 He'll never quench the smoking flax,
But raise it to a flame;
The bruised reed he never breaks,
Nor scorns the meanest name.

5 Then let our humble Faith address
His Mercy and his Pow'r;
We shall obtain deliv'ring grace
In the distressing hour.

HYMN XXI. Easter.

1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
With angels round the Throne;
Then thousand thousand are their tongues,
But all their joys are one.

2.

Worthy the Lamb that died," they cry, "To be exalted thus:"

"Worthy the Lamb," our hearts reply, "For he was slain for us!"

3 Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and pow'r divine;

And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever thine.

4 The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred name

Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

5 O may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!

Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue.

HYMN XXII. Easter.

1 Rejoice! the Lord is King,
Your God and King adore;
Mortals, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore.

Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

2 Jesus the Saviour reigns,

The God of truth and love:
When he had purg'd our sins,

He took his seat above.

Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice,
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

3 He sits at God's right hand;
Till all his foes submit,
And bow to his command,

And fall beneath his feet.

Lift up your hearts, lift up your voice
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!

4 Rejoice, in glorious hope, Jesus the Judge shall come, And take his servants up

To their eternal home.

[voice,

We soon shall hear th' Archangel's The trump of God shall sound "Rejoice!"

HYMN XXIII. Easter. L. M.

1 Now for a tune of lofty praise,
To great Jehovah's equal Son;
Awake, my voice, in heav'nly lays
Tell the high wonders he has done.

2 Sing, how he left the worlds of light,
And the bright robes he wore above;
How swift and joyful was his flight
On wings of everlasting love.

3 Down to this base, this sinful earth
He came to raise our nature high ;
He came, t' atone Almighty wrath ;-
Jesus, the God, was born to die.

4 Deep in the shades of gloomy death
Th' Almighty Captive pris'ner lay ;-
Th' Almighty Captive left the earth,
And rose to everlasting Day.

5 Among a thousand harps and songs, Jesus the God, exalted reigns;

His sacred Name fills all their tongues,
And echoes thro' the heav'nly plains.

HYMN XXIV.

Easter.

L. M.

1 He dies! the Friend of sinners dies,
Lo! Salem's daughters weep around;
A solemn darkness veils the skies,
A sudden trembling shakes the ground.

2 Come, saints, and drop a tear or two,
For him who groan'd beneath your load;
He shed a thousand drops for you,
A thousand drops of richer blood.

3 Here's love and grief beyond degree;
The Lord of Glory dies for men !-
But lo! what sudden joys we see !
Jesus, the dead, revives again!

4 The rising God forsakes the tomb;
(The tomb in vain forbids his rise)
Cherubic legions guard him home,
And shout him welcome to the skies.

5 Break off your tears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliv'rer reigns! Sing, how he spoil'd the hosts of Hell, And led the monster Death in chains!

6 Say, "Live for ever wond'rous King! "Born to redeem, and strong to save." Then ask the monster--"Where's thy sting? "And where's thy vict'ry,boastingGrave?"

HYMN XXV. Easter.

1 Brethren, let us join to bless
Jesus Christ, our Joy and Peace;
Let our praise to him be giv'n,
High at God's right hand in Heav'n.
2 Master, see! to Thee we bow:
Thou art Lord, and only Thou;
Thou the blessed Virgin's Seed,
Glory of thy Church, and Head.

3 Thee the Angels ceaseless sing;
Thee we praise, our Priest, our King.
Worthy is thy name of praise,
Full of Glory, full of Grace.

4 Thou hast the Glad tidings brought,
Of Salvation by Thee wrought-
Wrought for all thy Church; and we
Worship in their company.

5 We, thy little Flock, adore
Thee, the Lord for evermore.
Ever with us shew thy Love,
Till we join with those above!
