A few more struggles here, A few more partings o'er, A few more toils, a few more tears, And we shall weep no more. 3 'Tis but a little while And He shall come again, Who died that we might live, who lives That we with Him may reign: Then, O my Lord, prepare My soul for that glad day; Oh, wash me in Thy precious blood, And take my sins away!

And endless praise to Thee be given, By all Thy church in earth and heaven. Topics: Epiphany Used With Tune: MENDON

Hark! the choir of angel voices, Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He has gained the victory! He who on the cross did suffer, He who from the grave arose, He hath vanquished sin and Satan, He by death has spoiled His foes. 3 Now our heavenly Aaron enters, With His blood within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, And the kings before Him quail; Now he plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 4 He hath raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand; There we sit in heavenly places, There with Him in glory stand. Jesus reigns adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine ascension We by faith behold our own. Amen. Topics: Ascension Used With Tune: REX GLORIAE

Amen. Topics: Death and Resurrection Used With Tune: GORTON
