179 8s & 6s. Behold the Lamb of God. John 1:20. The Son of Man they did betray; He was condemned, and led away, Think, O my soul, on that dread day, Look on Mount Calvary; Behold him, lamb-like, led along Surrounded by a wicked throng, Accused by every lying tongue, And then the Lamb of God they hung Upon the shameful tree. 2 Now, hung between the earth and skies, Behold! in agony he dies; O sinners, hear his mournful cries, Come, see his torturing pain! The morning sun withdrew his light, Blushed, and refused to view the sight, The azure clothed in robes of night, All nature mourned, and stood affright, When Christ the Lord was slain. 3 All glory be to God on high, Who reigns enthroned above the sky; Who sent his Son to bleed and die; Glory to him be given: While heaven above his praise resounds, O Zion, sing—his grace abounds; I hope to shout eternal rounds, In flaming love that knows no bounds, When glorified in heaven. BURIAL AND RESURRECTION. 180 L. M. He rose—according to the Scriptures. 1 Cor. 15:4. When we the sacred grave survey, In which the Saviour deigned to lie, We see fulfilled what prophets say, And all the power of death defy, 2 This empty tomb shall now proclaim How weak the bands of conquered death; Sure pledge that all who trust his name Shall rise and draw immortal breath. 3 Our surety freed declares us free, For whose offenses he was seized: In his release our own we see, And joy to see Jehovah pleased. 4 Jesus, once numbered with the dead, Unseals his eyes to sleep no more; And ever lives their cause to plead, For whom the pains of death he bore. 5 Then, though in dust we lay our head, Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave Our flesh for ever with the dead, Nor lose thy children in the grave! 181 L. M. The joy that was set before him. Heb. 12:2. Now for a song of lofty praise To great Jehovah’s only Son; Awake, my voice, in heavenly lays, And tell the wonders he hath done. 2 Sing how he left the worlds of light, And those bright robes he wore above: How swift and joyful was his flight, On wings of everlasting love! 3 Deep in the shades of gloomy death, Th’ almighty Captive prisoner lay; Th’ almighty Captive left the earth, And rose to everlasting day. 4 Among a thousand harps and songs, Jesus, the Lord, exalted reigns: His sacred name fills all their tongues, And echoes through the heavenly plains.
