5 He who slumbered in the grave, Now through Christendom it rings Hallelujah! 6 Now He bids us tell mankind 7 Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed, Hallelujah! 226 10, 6, 10, 9, 9, 4 I AM content! My Jesus liveth still, He hath fulfilled the law of God for me, Since Him from life death could not sever, I also shall not die forever. I am content! 2 I am content! My Jesus is my Head, His member I will be; He bowed His head, when on the cross He died, With cries of agony; Now death is brought into subjection 3 I am content! My Jesus is my Lord, My Prince of life and peace; His loving heart is thirsting after man's Welfare and future bliss. Where He, my Lord and Master, liveth, His servant also He receiveth. I am content! 4 I am content! My Jesus is my Light, My radiant Sun of grace. His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all; Sweet comfort, hope, and peace. This Easter-sun brings life, salvation, And everlasting exultation. I am content! 5 I am content! Lord, draw me but to Thee, That from the dead I rise With Thee, my Head, and enter cheerfully Into Thy heavenly joys. The fetters of my body sever, 227 WHERE wilt Thou go, since night O Jesus Christ, Thou Pilgrim dear? L. M. 2 Grant my request, O dearest Friend, Thou knowest that Thou ever art The day is now far spent and gone, 4 Enlighten me that from the way That leads to heaven I may not stray, That I may never be misled, Though night of sin is round me spread. 5 And when I on my death-bed lie, Help me, and let me gently die. Abide! I will not let Thee go! Thou wilt not leave me, Lord, I know. 228 C. M. WELCOME, Thou Victor in the strife, 2 Our enemy is put to shame, His short-lived triumph o'er; Our God is with us, we exclaim, We fear our foe no more. 3 The dwellings of the just resound With songs of victory; For in their midst Thou, Lord, art found, And bringest peace with Thee. 4 O let Thy conquering banner wave 5 We bury all our sin and crime And seek the treasure there that time Nor change can e'er consume. 6 Fearless we lay us in the tomb, And sleep the night away, For Thou art there to break the gloom, And call us back today. 229 L. M. I KNOW that my Redeemer lives! What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, He lives, who once was dead, He lives, my ever-living Head. 2 He lives triumphant from the grave, He lives eternally to save; He lives all-glorious in the sky, 3 He lives to bless me with His love, 4 He lives to grant me rich supply, 5 He lives to silence all my fears, 6 He lives, my kind, wise, heavenly He lives and loves me to the end; 7 He lives, and grants me daily breath; 8 He lives, all glory to His name! L. M. LORD Jesus Christ, strong Hero Thou, 2 Thou grantest to Thy friends the grace To look again upon Thy face, And showest them the glorious prize, 3 Grant that we and all Christians may 4 Grant us that we may rise from sin, Till we, from sin and pain set free, 231 ASCENSION 8,7 81 SEE the Conqueror mounts in triumph; Riding on the clouds, His chariot, |
