Hail the day that sees Him rise, Ravished from our wistful eyes! Christ, awhile to mortals given, Re-ascends His native heaven. There the glorious triumph waits, Lift your heads, eternal gates! Wide unfold the radiant scene, Take the King of glory in! - [Ascension Day] One family--we dwell in Him, One church above, beneath, Though now divided by the stream, The narrow stream of death. - [Churches] Other refuge have I none; Hangs my helpless soul on Thee; Leave, ah, leave me not alone, Still support and comfort me! All my trust on Thee is stayed, All my help from Thee I bring; Cover my defenseless head With the shadow of Thy wing. - [Trust] "Christ the Lord is risen to-day," Sons of men and angels say. Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply. - Christ the Lord is Risen To-Day [Easter] "Hark the herald angels sing, Glory to the new-born king." Peace on earth, and mercy mild, God and sinners reconciled.! - Christmas Hymn [Christmas] Lo! on a narrow neck of land, 'Twixt two unbounded seas, I stand. Secure, insensible. - Hymn [Life] My soul is all an aching void. - Hymn [Soul] A charge to keep I have, A God to glorify: A never-dying soul to save, And fit it for the sky. - Hymns (318) [Soul] Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to that alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries, "It shall be done!" - Hymns (no. 360) [Faith : Success] When summoned hence to thine eternal sleep, Oh, may'st thou smile while all around thee weep. - On an Infant [Tears] See the Gospel Church secure, And founded on a Rock! All her promises are sure; Her bulwarks who can shock? Count her every precious shrine; Tell, to after-ages tell, Fortified by power divine, The Church can never fail. - Scriptural (psalm XLVIII, st. 9) [Churches] Not from his head was woman took, As made her husband to o'erlook; Not from his feet, as one designed The footstool of the stronger kind; But fashioned for himself, a bride; An equal, taken from his side. - Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures [Women]
