The trees and shrubs are drest in bloom, The earth array'd in green. 2 I see my Saviour from on high, Break through the clouds and shine! No creature now more blest than I, No song more loud than mine. 3 Thy word does all my hope revive, It overcomes my foes; It makes my languid graces thrive, And blossom like a rose. 4 Dear Lord, a monument I stand, Of what thy grace can do, Uphold me by thy gracious hand, Each changing season through.

"Behold the Saviour nigh! 4 "To Bethl'em's city quick repair," Th' etherial spirits cry, "And see the promis'd Saviour there, "Low in a manger lie. 5 "With humble faith and holy fear "Go visit Christ your king." Their heav'nly notes the shepherds hear, And join the praise they sing. 6 On Jordan's banks th' eternal God His birth divine declares; "This is my son!" Lo! on his head The heav'nly dove appears. 7 Holy his life, his doctrines true; (How bright the godhead shone!) Diseases heard and Satan knew, That what he spake was done. Part II Christ's death, resurrection ascension and intercession: 8 Behold the Saviour on the tree, With arms extended wide! From death a sinful world to free, He groan'd, and bled, and dy'd! 9 The sun astonish'd veil'd its face, When the Creator bled; His groans the earth and rocks displace, And wake the sleeping dead. 10 But when th' appointed hour was come, The sleeping Saviour wakes; Behold! he rises from the tomb, And death a captive makes. 11 On the eternal God's right hand The great Redeemer sits; Both heav'n and earth to his command The Father now commits. 12 Our advocate himself he stiles, The sinner's cause he pleads, Through him the Father looks and smiles, While thus he intercedes. 13 Whom once he loves he'll ne'er forget, His counsels guide them still; His grace their weary souls will seat On heav'ns eternal hill. 14 Reviving though! then humble soul, With courage venture on! Though earth and hell against thee roll, In Christ the battle's won. Topics: Christ His death; Christ His incarnation; Christ His intecession; Christ His resurrection Languages: English

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXLIX (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Death with his dread commission seal'd Lyrics: 1 Death with his dread commission seal'd, Now hastens to his arms: In awful state he takes the field, And sounds his dire alarms. 2 Attendant plagues around him stand, And wait his dread command; And pains, and dying groans obey The signal of his hand. 3 With cruel force, he scatters round His shafts of deadly pow'r; While the grave waits its destin'd prey, Impatient to devour. 4 Look up, ye heirs of endless joy, Nor let your fears prevail; Eternal life is our reward, When life on earth shall fail. 5 What though his darts promiscous hurl'd, Deal fatal plagues around; And heaps of putrid carcases O'erload the cumber'd ground; 6 The arrows, that shall wound your flesh, Were giv'n him from above, Dipt in the great Redeemer's blood, And feather'd all with love. 7 These, with a gentle hand he throws, And saints lie gasping too; But heav'nly strength supports their souls, And bears them conqu'rors through.

Can med'cines then prolong my breath, Or virtue shield my heart? 5 Ah! no--then smooth the mortal hour, On thee my hope depends; Support me with almighty power, While dust to dust descends. 6 Then shall my soul, O gracious God! (While angels join the lay) Admitted to the bless'd abode, Its endless anthems pay. 7 Through heav'n, howe'er remote the bound, Thy matchless love proclaim, And join the choir of saints that sound Their great Redeemer's name.

Our souls with vast amazement fill, And speak the builder God. 5 But still the wonders of thy grace Our softer passions move; Pity divine in Jesus' face We see, adore, and love.
