Christ's Ascension

Author: Hart Hymnal: A Selection of Hymns for Public Worship. In four parts (10th ed.) (Gadsby's Hymns) #491 (1844) Meter: 8.7 First Line: Pleased we read, in sacred story Lyrics: 1 Pleased we read in sacred story, How our Lord resumed his breath; Where’s, O Grave, thy conquering glory? Where’s thy sting, thou phantom Death? Soon thy jaws, restrained from chewing, Must disgorge their ransomed prey; Man first gave thee power to ruin; Man, too, takes that power away. 2 I am Alpha, says the Saviour, I Omega likewise am! I was dead and live for ever, God Almighty and the Lamb. In the Lord is our perfection, And in him our boast we’ll make; We shall share his resurrection, If we of his death partake. 3 Ye that die without repentance, Ye must rise when Christ appears; Rise to hear your dreadful sentence, While the saints rejoice in theirs: You to dwell with fiends infernal, They with Jesus Christ to reign; They go into life eternal, You to everlasting pain.

Hymnal: A Selection of Psalms and Hymns #CCCVII (1790) Meter: 8.7 First Line: Pleas'd we read in sacred story Lyrics: 1 Pleas'd we read in sacred story, How our Lord resum'd his breath; Where, O grave's, thy conqu'ring glory Where's thy sting, thou fantom death? Soon thy jaws, restrain'd from chewing, Must disgorge their ransom'd pery: Man first gave thee pow'r to riun, Man too takes that pow'r away. 2 I am Alpha, says the Saviour; I Omega likewise am; I was dead and live forever, God Almighty and th' Lamb, In the Lord is our perfection, And in him our boast we'll make; We shall share his resurrection, If we of his death partake. 3 Ye that die without repentance, Ye must rise when Christ appears; Rise to hear your dreadful sentence, While the saints rejoice in theirs: You to dwell with fiends infernal, They with Jesus Christ to reign: The go into life eternal, You to everlasting pain. 5 Bold rebellion, base backsliding, Stop your course, reflect with dread; In destruction there's no hiding; Death and hell give up their dead, Ev'ry sea, and lake, and river Shall restore their dead to view: Shout for gladness, O believer Christ is ris'n, and so shall you.
