A New Hymnal for Sunday Schools

Ascension,

65. (and Sunday after.
x.) ALLELUIA. 8s & 6s.

O. W.

To him who for our sins was slain, To him for all his dying pain, Sing we Alle - lu

To him the Lamb our Sacrifice, Who gave his blood our ransom-price, Sing we Al-le - lu - ia!

2 To him who died that we might die To sin, and live with him on high, Sing we Alleluia !

To him who rose that we might rise, And reign with him beyond the skies, Sing we Alleluia !

3 To him who now for us doth plead, And helpeth us in all our need, Sing we Alleluia !

To him who doth prepare on high
Our home in immortality,

Sing we Alleluia!

4 To him be glory evermore:

Ye heavenly hosts, your Lord adore;
Sing we Alleluia !

To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
Our God most great, our joy, our boast,
Sing we Alleluia!

Never more a helpless Baby,
Born in poverty and pain.
But with awful glory crowned,
With his Angels standing round,
: He shall come again :||

Who their Master's work have done,

Then the wicked souls shall tremble, And all faithful holy Christians,
And the good souls shall rejoice,
Parents, children, every one,
Then shall stand before his throne,
: And shall hear his voice. :||

Shall appear at his right hand,
And inherit the fair land
: That his love has won. :

2 Give tongues of fire and hearts of love,
To preach the reconciling word;
Give power and unction from above,
Where'er the joyful sound is heard.
3 Be darkness, at thy coming, light;
Confusion, order, in thy path;

Souls without strength inspire with might,
Bid mercy triumph over wrath.

4 Convert the nations! far and nigh The triumphs of the cross record; The name of Jesus glorify,

Till every people call him Lord.

1 COME, Holy Ghost, with God the Son,
And God the Father, ever One;
Shed forth thy grace within our breast,
And dwell with us, a ready guest.

2 By every power, by heart and tongue,
By act and deed, thy praise be sung,
Infame with perfect love each sense,
That others' souls may kindle thence.

3 O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son; Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee, Shall live and reign eternally.

1 COME, gracious Spirit, heavenly Dove,
With light and comfort from above;
Be thou our Guardian, thou our Guide,
O'er every thought and step preside.
2 The light of truth to us display,
And make us know and choose thy way;
Plant holy fear in every heart,
That we from thee may ne'er depart.

3 Lead us to Christ, the living way,
Nor let us from his precepts stray;
Lead us to holiness, the road

That we must take to dwell with God.

4 Lead us to heaven, that we may share
Fulness of joy for ever there:
Lead us to God, our final rest,
To be with him for ever blest.

1 He's come, let every knee be bent,
All hearts new joy resume;
Sing, ye redeem'd, with one consent,
"The Comforter is come."

2 What greater gift, what greater love,
Could God on man bestow?
Angels for this rejoice above,
Let man rejoice below.

3 Hail! blessed Spirit! may each soul
Thy sacred influence feel;

Do thou each sinful thought control,
And fix our wavering zeal.

4 Thou to the conscience dost convey
Those checks which we should know;
Thy motions point to us the way;
Thou giv'st us strength to go.
