GOOD FRIDAY. 957 I HE is despised and re- | jected of | men; A man of sorrows, | and ac- | quainted with | grief: 2 And we hid as it were our | faces | from Him; He was despised, and we es- | teemed Him | not. . 3 Surely He hath borne our griefs, and | carried our sorrows: Yet we did esteem Him stricken, | smitten of | God, and af- | flicted. 4 But He was wounded for | our trans-gressions, He was bruised for our in- | iquities; 5 The chastisement of our peace | was up- | on Him; And with His stripes | we are | healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone a- | stray; We have turned every | one to | his own way; 7 And the Lord hath | laid on | Him The iniquity of us all. 8 When Thou shalt make his soul an offering for | sin, 9 And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper | in His | hand. EASTER. 958 I HE will swallow up | death in | victory, And the Lord God will wipe away | tears from | off all | faces; 2 And the rebuke of His people shall He take away from off | all the | earth, For the Lord hath | spoken | it. And it shall be said in that day, Lo this is our | God! We have waited for | Him and He will save us : 4 This is the Lord! We have waited for Him, we will be glad and re- | joice in | His sal- | vation. 5 Trust ye in the | Lord for | ever, For in the LORD JEHOVAH is | ever- | lasting | strength. 6 Why seek ye the living a- | mong the | dead. He is not here but is | risen. 7 O death, where | is thy | sting! O grave, where | is thy | victory! 8 Thanks be to God which giveth | us the victory, Through our Lord Jesus | Christ! Glory be to the Father, &c. PASCHAL. 959 I CHRIST, Our Passover, is sacri- | ficed for | us. Therefore let us keep the | feast; 2 Not with the old leaven, neither with the leaven of | malice and wickedness, But with the unleavened bread of sin- | ceri- | ty and truth. 3 Christ, being raised from the dead, | dieth no more; Death hath no more do- | minion | o-ver | Him. 4 For in that He died, He died unto sin - | once, But in that He liveth, He | liveth | unto | God. 5 Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed | unto | sin, But alive unto God through | Jesus | Christ our | Lord. 6 Christ is risen from the dead, And become the first- | fruits of them that | slept, 7 For since by | man came | death, By man came also the resur- | rection | of the | dead. 8 For as in Adam † all I die, Even so in Christ shall | all be made a- | live. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, And to the | Holy Ghost ; As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever | shall be, ASCENSION. 960 I O CLAP your hands, | all ye | people 2 God is gone up | with a shout; The LORD with the sound of a | trumpet. 3 Sing praises to | God, sing | praises, Sing praises unto our | King, sing | praises. 4 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye ever- | lasting doors! And the King of glory | shall come in. 5 Who is this | King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the | LORD | mighty in | battle! 6 Lift up your heads, O ye gates, even lift them up, ye ever- | lasting | doors! And the King of glory | shall come in. 7 Who is this | King of glory? The LORD of Hosts, | He is the | King of glory! Glory be to the Father, and to the | Son, And to the Holy | Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever | shall be, 2 Thou hast received | gifts for | men, Yea, for the rebellious also, that the Lord | God might | dwell a- | mong them. And whosoever will let him take the | water of | life- | freely. Glory be to the Father, and to the | Son, And to the Holy | Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and | ever | shall be, THE APOSTLES' CREED. A men. a 962 I I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of | heaven and | earth: 2 Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, | dead and | buried; He descended into hell; the third day He | rose a- | gain from the | dead. 3 He ascended into heaven; and sitteth on the right hand of God the | Father· Al- | mighty ; From thence He shall come to | judge the | quick and the | dead. 4 I believe in the Holy Ghost; The Holy Catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life ever- | lasting. I A- | men. THE LORD'S PRAYER. 963 OUR Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed | be Thy Name; Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in | Heaven. Give us this day our | daily | bread; And forgive us our debts as we for- | give our | debtors; And lead us not into temptation, but deliver | us from | evil; For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for- | ever. Amen. |
