There the pompous triumph waits; "Lift your heads eternal gates ! Wide unfold the radiant scene,

2 Him tho' highest heaven receives,

Still he loves the earth he leaves;
Tho' returning to his throne,
Still he calls mankind his own:
Still for us he intercedes,
Prevalent his death he pleads;
Next himself

prepares a place,
Harbinger of human race.
3 Master, (may we ever say,)

Taken from the world away,
See thy faithful servants, see,
Ever gazing up to thee:
Grant, though parted from our sight,
High above yon azure height
Grant our souls may thither rise

Foll'wing thee beyond the skies.
4 Ever upward let us move,
Wafted on the wings of love;
Looking when our Lord shall come
Looking for a happier home:
There we shall with thee remain,
Partners of thy endless reign;
There thy face unclouded see-
Find a heav'n of heav'ns in thee

CHRIST.
4 He that distributes crowns and thrones
Hangs on a tree, and bleeds and groans

The prince of life resigns his breath,
The King of glory bows to death!
5 But see the wonders of his power,
He triumphs in his dying hour;
And, while by Satan's rage he fell,

He dash'd the rising hopes of hell.
6 Thus were the hosts of death subdu'd;

And sin was drown'd in Jesus' blood;
Then he arose, and reigns above,
And conquers sinners by his love.
HYMN 121. H. M. STENNET

Jubilee. Eagle-Street.
COME; every pious heart

That loves the Saviour's name,
Your noblest power exert
To celebrate his fame:
Tell all above, and all below,

The debt of love to him you owe. 2 He left his starry crown,

And laid his robes aside;
On wings of love came down,
And wept, and bled, and died:
What he endur'd, oh, who can tell?

To save our souls from death and hell. 3 From the dark grave he rose,

The mansion of the dead;

And thence his mighty foes
In glorious triumph led :
Up thro' the sky the conqueror rode,
And reigns on high, the Saviour God
4 Jesus, we ne'er can pay

The debt we owe thy love;
Yet tell us how we may
Our gratitude approve:
Our hearts-our all to thee we give :
The gift, tho' small, do thou receive.
