FOR EASTER DAY. First Hymn.
SINCE Christ, our passover, is slain
A sacrifice for all;
Let all with thankful hearts agree To keep the festival:
Not with the leaven, as of old, Of sin and malice fed; But with unfeign'd sincerity, And truth's unleaven'd bread.
Christ, being rais'd by pow'r divine, And rescu'd from the grave, Shall die no more; death shall on him No more dominion have.
For that he died, 'twas for our sins He once vouchsaf'd to die; But that he lives, he lives to God For all eternity.
So count yourselves as dead to sin, But graciously restor'd,
And made henceforth alive to God, Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory; as it was, is now, And shall be evermore.
HRIST from the dead is rais'd, and made The first-fruits of the tomb;
For as by man came death, by man
Did resurrection come.
For as in Adam all mankind
Did guilt and death derive,
So by the righteousness of Christ Shall all be made alive.
If then ye risen are with Christ, Seek only how to get
The things that are above, where Christ At God's right hand doth sit.
To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
The God whom heav'n's triumphant host,
And suff'ring saints on earth adore,
Be glory; as in ages past,
As now it is, and so shall last,
When time itself shall be no more.
FOR THE SACRAMENT.
MY God, and is thy table spread, And doth thy cup with love o'erflow! Thither be all thy children led,
And let them all thy sweetness know. Hail, sacred feast, which Jesus makes, Rich banquet of his flesh and blood! Thrice happy he who here partakes That sacred stream, that heav'nly food. Why are its dainties all in vain
Before unwilling hearts display'd? Was not for you the victim slain? Are you forbid the children's bread? O! let thy table honour'd be,
And furnish'd well with joyful guests! And may each soul salvation see,
That here its sacred pledges tastes. Let crowds approach, with hearts prepar'd, With hearts inflam'd let all attend; Nor, when we leave our Father's board, The pleasure or the profit end. Receive thy dying churches, Lord, And bid our drooping graces live; And more, that energy afford, A Saviour's blood alone can give.
FOR THE MORNING.
AWAKE, my soul, and with the sun Thy daily stage of duty run; Shake off dull sloth, and early rise To pay thy morning sacrifice. Redeem thy mispent moments past, And live this day as if the last; Thy talents to improve take care; For the great day thyself prepare. Let all thy converse be sincere, Thy conscience as the noon-day clear; For God's all-seeing eye surveys
Thy secret thoughts, thy works and ways. Wake, and lift up thyself, my heart, And with the angels bear thy part; Who all night long unwearied sing High glory to th' eternal King.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow, Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, angelick host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Thee I'll extol, my God and King
With restless and ungovern'd rage Whom should I fear, since God to me While I the king's loud praise rehearse Why hast thou cast us off, O God-- With glory clad, with strength array'd
