Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise

Author: C. Wesley, 1707-88 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 554 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees him rise To his throne above the skies! Christ, the Lamb for sinners giv'n, Reascends his native heav'n. 2 There the glorious triumph waits: Lift your heads, eternal gates, He hath conquered death and sin; Take the King of glory in! 3 See, the heav'n its Lord receives, Yet He loves the earth He leaves; Though returning to His throne, Still He calls mankind His own. 4 See He lifts His hands above; See, He shows the prints of love. Hark! His gracious lips bestow Blessings on His church below. 5 Still for us He intercedes, His prevailing death He pleads, Near Himself prepares our place, Harbinger of human race. 6 There we shall with Thee remain Partners of Thy endless reign, There Thy face unclouded see, Find our heav'n of heav'ns in Thee.

Wake, arise, O mighty nation, Ere the foe on Zion tread; He draws nigh and would defy All the hosts of God Most High. 2 Saints and heroes long before us Firmly on this ground have stood; See their banners waving o’er us, Conqu'rors through the Savior's blood. Ground we hold, whereon of old, Fought the faithful and the bold. 3 Fighting, we shall be victorious By the blood of Christ our Lord; On our foreheads, bright and glorious, Shines the witness of His Word; Spear and shield on battlefield, His great name; we cannot yield. 4 When His servants stand before Him, Each receiving his reward, When His saints in light adore Him, Giving glory to the Lord; "Victory!" our song shall be, Like the thunder of the sea.

Thus didst Thou my soul deliver From the bonds of sin forever. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 3 Thou hast borne the smiting only That my wounds might all be whole; Thou hast suffered, sad and lonely, Rest to give my weary soul; Yea, the curse of God enduring, Blessing unto me securing.

All disgrace Thou, Lord, hast borne That as Thine Thou mightest own me And with heavenly glory crown me. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 5 Thou hast suffered men to bruise Thee That from pain I might be free; Falsely did Thy foes accuse Thee-- Thence I gain security; Comfortless Thy soul did languish Me to comfort in my anguish. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 6 Thou hast suffered great affliction And hast borne it patiently, Even death by crucifixion, Fully to atone for me; Thou didst choose to be tormented That my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee. 7 Then, for all that wrought my pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore, For Thine anguish in the Garden, I will thank Thee evermore, Thank Thee for Thy groaning, sighing, For Thy bleeding and Thy dying, For that last triumphant cry, And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.

Now let Thy Word o'er all prevail! Now take the spoils of death and hell. 11 O let the dead hear now Thy voice! Now bid Thy banished ones rejoice! Their beauty this, their glorious dress, Jesus, Thy blood and righteusness. Topics: Sin and Righteousness; Trinity 6 Used With Tune: HERRNHUT
