The Heavens receive the Body of Jesus

Hymnal: Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs #CLXX (1792) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Scripture: Acts 1:9 First Line: Our Lord is risen from the dead Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead, Our Jesus is gone up on high; The powers of hell are captive led, Dragg'd to the portals of the sky. 2 There his triumphal chariot waits And angels chaunt the solemn lay; "Lift up your heads, ye heav'nly gates! Ye everlasting doors, give way!" 3 Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the radiant scene; He claims those mansions as his right, Receive the King of glory in. 4 "Who is the King of glory, who?" The Lord that all his foes o'ercame, The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew, And Jesus is the conq'ror's name. 5 Lo! his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chaunt the solemn lay, "Lift up your heads, he heav'nly gates! Ye everlasting doors, give way!" 6 "Who is the King of glory, who?" The Lord of boundless pow'r possest, The king of saints and angels too, God over all, forever blest!

The Tribunal

Author: Lady Huntington Hymnal: Laudes Domini #233 (1888) Scripture: Acts 1:11 First Line: When thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come Lyrics: 1 When thou, my righteous Judge, shalt come To take thy ransomed people home, Shall I among them stand? Shall such a worthless worm as I, Who sometimes am afraid to die, Be found at thy right hand? 2 I love to meet thy people now, Before thy feet with them to bow, Though vilest of them all; But, can I bear the piercing thought, What if my name should be left out, When thou for them shalt call? 3 O Lord, prevent it by thy grace, Be thou my only hiding-place, In this the accepted day; Thy pardoning voice, oh, let me hear, To still my unbelieving fear, Nor let me fall, I pray. 4 Among thy saints let me be found. Whene'er the archangel's trump shall sound, To see thy smiling face; Then loudest of the throng I'll sing. While heaven's resounding mansions ring With shouts of sovereign grace.
