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,
He shall see His seed, He | shall pro- | long His | days:

9 And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper | in His | hand.
He shall see of the travail of His soul, and | shall be | satis- | fied.
Glory be to the Father, &c.

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,
World without | end. A- | men.

ASCENSION.

960

I O CLAP your hands, | all ye | people
Shout unto God with the voice of triumph.

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,
World without | end. A- | men.

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,
World without | end. A-men.

962

I I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of | heaven and | earth:
And in Jesus Christ His | only | Son our Lord;

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.
