Paschal Lamb, by God appointed, All our sins on Thee were laid: By almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made. All Thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of Thy blood: Opened is the gate of heaven, Peace is made 'twixt man and God. Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, There for ever to abide; All the heavenly hosts adore Thee, Seated at thy Father's side. There for sinners Thou art pleading: There Thou dost our place prepare; Ever for us interceding, Till in glory we appear. Worship, honor, power, and blessing Thou art worthy to receive: Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give. Help, ye bright angelic spirits! Bring your sweetest, noblest lays! Help to sing our Savior's merits! Help to chant Emmanuel's praise! Amen. Topics: The Ascension Day; Sunday Schools Eastertide; Parochial Missions Used With Tune: IN BABILONE

Be our help, dear Lord, forever; Nerve our courage, bring us thro’, Till we love to do whatever Thou wouldst like to have us do. Used With Tune: NEW ORLEANS
