his name, Nor shall our hope be turned to shame. Isaac Watts, 1719. 139 Baca. L.M. _Peace and Safety at the Cross._ (265) Beneath thy cross I lay me down, And mourn to see thy bloody crown; Love drops in blood from every vein; Love is the spring of all thy pain. 2 Here, Jesus, will I ever stay, And spend my longing hours away; Think on thy bleeding wounds and pain, And contemplate thy woes again. 3 Oh, unmolested, happy rest! Where inward fears are all suppressed; Here I shall love, and live secure, And patiently my cross endure. Wm. Williams. 140 Baca. L.M. _Thanks to Jesus for His Love._ (270) O love! who gav'st thy life for me, And won an everlasting good Through thy sore anguish on the tree, I ever think upon thy blood! 2 O Love! who unto death hast grieved For this cold heart, unworthy thine, Whom the cold grave and death received, I thank thee for that grief divine. 3 I give thee thanks that thou didst die To win eternal life for me, To bring salvation from on high: Oh, draw me up through love to thee! From the German. Author unknown. 141 Woodstock. C.M. _Christ's Triumph over Death._ (309) The morning purples all the sky, The air with praises rings; Defeated hell stands sullen by, The world exulting sings. 2 While he, the King all strong to save, Rends the dark doors away, And through the breaches of the grave Strides forth into the day. 3 Death's captive, in his gloomy prison Past fettered he has lain; But he has mastered death, is risen, And death wears now the chain. 4 The shining angels cry, "Away With grief; no spices bring; Not tears, but songs, this joyful day, Should greet the rising King!" Dr. A. R. Thompson, 1867. 142 Warwick. C.M. _Resurrection and Ascension._ (311) Hosanna to the Prince of Light, Who clothed himself in clay, Entered the iron gates of death, And tore the bars away. 2 Death is no more the king of dread, Since our Immanuel rose; He took the tyrant's sting away, And spoiled our hellish foes. 3 See how the conqueror mounts aloft And to his Father flies, With scars of honor in his flesh, And triumph in his eyes. 4 There our exalted Savior reigns, And scatters blessings down; Our Jesus fills the middle seat Of the celestial throne. Isaac Watts, 1709. 143 Nuremburg. 7s. _The Lord is Ris
