 LORD'S Refurreaion. 
 
 HYMN I. 
 
 i . /k L L ye that feek the Lord who died, 
 /-\ Your GOD for Sinners crucified, 
 JL JL Prevent the earlielt Dawn, and come 
 To worfhip at his facred Tomb. 
 
 2 Bring the fweet Spices of your Sighs, 
 Your contrite Hearts, and itreaming Eyes, 
 Your fad Complaints, and humble Fears ; 
 Come, and embalm Him with your Tears. 
 
 3 While thus ye love your Souls t employ, 
 Your Sorrow fliall be turn'd to Joy : 
 Now, now let all your Grief be o'er ! 
 Believe j and ye fhall weep no more. 
 
 4 An Earthquake hath the Cavern (hook, 
 And burlt the Door, and rent the Rock, 
 The Lord hath fent his Angel down, 
 And he hath roll'd away the Stone. 
 
 B 5 As 
 
( 2 ) 
 
 $ As Snow behold his Garment white, 
 His Countenance as Lightning bright: 
 He fits, and waves a flaming Sword, 
 And waits upon his Rifmg Lord. 
 
 6 The third Aufpicious Morn is come, 
 And calls your Saviour from the Tomh, 
 The Bands of Death are torn away, 
 The yawning Tomb gives back its Prey. 
 
 7 Could neither Seal nor Stone fecure, 
 Nor Men, nor Devils make it fure I 
 The Seal is broke, the Stone caft by, 
 And all the Pow'rs of Darknefs fly. 
 
 8 The Body breaths, and lifts his Head, 
 The Keepers fink, and fall as dead ; 
 The Dead reftor'd to Life appear, 
 The Living quake, and die for Fear. 
 
 9 No Power a Band of Soldiers have 
 To keep One Body in its Grave : 
 Surely it no Dead Body was 
 
 That could the Roman Eagles chafe. 
 
 10 The Lord of Life is ris'n indeed, 
 To Death deliver'd in your (lead ; 
 His Rife proclaims your Sins forgiven, 
 And mews the Living Way to Heaven. 
 
 1 1 Halle then, ye Souls that firft believe, 
 Who dare the Gofpel-Word receive, 
 Your Faith with joyful Hearts confefs, 
 Be bold, be JESUS* Witneffes. 
 
 1 2 Go tell the Followers of your Lord 
 Their JESUS is to Life reftor'd ; 
 
 He lives, that They his Life may find ; 
 He lives, to quicken all Mankind.

 Jefus, the Crucified, draw near, 
 
 And with thy fad Difciples go : 
 Our Thoughts and Words to 1 hee are known, 
 We commune of Thyfelf alone. 
 
 2 How can it be, our Reafon cries, 
 
 That GOD mould leave his Throne above ? 
 Is it for Man th' Immortal dies ! 
 
 For Man, who tramples on his Love \ 
 For Man, who nail'd him to the Tree \ 
 O Love ! O GOD ! He dies for me !

 To find Thee rifen in our Heart, 
 Redeem'd from all Iniquity, 
 Sav'd, to the utmoft fav'd, thro' Thee.

 So backward to believe the Word ! 
 The Prophets Only Aim Thou art : 
 
 They fang the Sufferings of their Lord, 
 Thy Life for ours a Ranlom given, 
 Thy Rifing to infure our Heaven. 
 
 9 Ought not our Lord the Death to die, 
 
 And then the glorious Life to live? 
 To ftoop ; and then go up on high ? 
 
 The Pain, and then the Joy receive ? 
 His Blood, the Purchafe -Price lay down, 
 Endure thi Crofs, and claim the Crown ? 
 
 io Ought not the Members all to pafs 
 
 The Way their Head had pafs'd before ? 
 Thro* Sufferings perfected He was, 
 
 The Garment dipt in Blood He wore, 
 That we with Him might die, and nie 
 And bear his Nature to the Skies !

 Borne on his Fiery Chariot, 
 With joyful Acclamation 
 
 Purfue the Lord,

 Of his defending Spirit.

 Shall reft oft each Believer, 
 
 And furely we

 And triumph in thy Glory. •

 And fhout our Loving Wonder.

 The Covering of thy Spirit 
 
 By Faith we wear, 
 
 And gladly fhare

 We reft beneath thy Shadow, 
 Till by the Whirlwind uriven, 
 
 From Earth we rife, 
 
 And mount the Skies, 
 And grafp our Lord in Heaven.
