Hail the day that sees Him rise
Author: C. Wesley Appears in 551 hymnals Topics: Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 Hail the day that sees Him rise,
Glorious, to His native skies!
Christ, awhile to mortals given,
Reascends His native heaven.
2 There the glorious triumph waits;
Lift your heads, eternal gates!
Wide unfold the radiant scene;
Take the King of Glory in!
3 Him though highest heaven receives,
Still He loves the earth He leaves;
Though returning to His throne;
Still He calls mankind His own.
4 See, He lifts His hands above!
See, He shows the prints of love!
Hark, His gracious lips bestow
Blessings on His Church below!
5 Still for us His Death He pleads;
Prevalent, He intercedes:
Near Himself prepares our place,
Harbinger of human race.
6 There we shall with Thee remain,
Partners of Thy endless reign;
There Thy face unclouded see,
Find our heaven of heavens in Thee. Used With Tune: INNOCENTS

Om Salighed og Glæde
Author: A. K. Arrebo Appears in 4 hymnals Topics: Ascension Day For Evening Lyrics: 1 Om Salighed og Glæde
Der nu skal synges fridt
I de Forløstes Sæde
Og Guds Pauluner vidt;
Thi ved Guds høire Haand
Er Kristus høit ophøiet,
Ham Seier stor tilføiet,
Han Døden overvandt.
2 Mens han er saa i Live,
Da Dø vi ingenlund,
Men skulle frelste blive,
Fortælle Guds Miskund;
Om vi end refses saa,
Vi lægges lukt i Grave,
Dog skal vi Livet have,
Udødelig opstaa.
3 Den Kirkesteen grundfaste,
Den Herre Jesus Krist,
De Bygningsmænd forkaste,
Men han er bleven vist
Til Hoved-Hjørnesteen
For Kirken Guds paa Jorde,
Den Gjerning Herren gjorde,
Des undres hver og een!
4 Dig, Jesus Krist, ske Ære,
Som kom i Herrens Navn!
Guds Folk velsignet være
Af Herrens Hus og Stavn!
Vi takke hver for sig
Den Herre overmaade,
Thi hans Miskund og Naade
Staar fast evindelig.

Hail! festal days to endless ages known
Author: Venantius Fortunatus, c. 530-609; Theodore A. Lacey Hymnal: The Hymnal #184 (1916) Meter: 10.10 with refrain Topics: The Ascension Day First Line: Hail! festal day! to endless ages known Lyrics:
Hail! festal day! to endless ages known,
When God ascended to his starry throne.
Now with the Lord of new and heav'nly birth,
His gifts return to grace the springing earth.
Now glows the earth with painted flowers' array,
And warmer light unbars the gates of day.
Now Christ, from gloomy hell, comes triumphing,
And field and grove with clover and leafage spring.
The reign of death o'erthrown, he mounts on high,
Sent forth with joyous praise from sea and sky.
170
Loose now the captives, loose the prison door,
The fallen, from the deep, to light restore.
A countless people, from death's fetters free,
Own thee Redeemer, join, and follow thee.
Creator and Redeemer, Christ our Light!
The One begotten of the Father's might;
Coequal, Coeternal, thou to whom
The kingdom of the world decreed shall come;
Thou, looking on our race in darkness laid,
To rescue man, true Man thyself wast made.

Samuel Stennett
1727 - 1795 Topics: The Ascension Day Author of "Majestic sweetness sits enthroned" in The Hymnal Samuel Stennett was born at Exeter, in 1727. His father was pastor of a Baptist congregation in that city; afterwards of the Baptist Chapel, Little Wild Street, London. In this latter pastorate the son succeeded the father in 1758. He died in 1795. Dr. Stennett was the author of several doctrinal works, and a few hymns.
--Annotations of the Hymnal, Charles Hutchins, M.A. 1872.
======================
Stennett, Samuel, D.D., grandson of Joseph Stennett, named above, and son of the Rev. Joseph Stennett, D.D., was born most pro;bably in 1727, at Exeter, where his father was at that time a Baptist minister. When quite young he removed to London, his father having become pastor of the Baptist Church in Little Wild Street, Lincoln's Inn Fields. In 1748, Samuel Stennett became assistant to his father in the ministry, and in 1758 succeeded him in the pastoral office at Little Wild Street. From that time until his death, on Aug. 24, 1795, he held a very prominent position among the Dissenting ministers of London. He was much respected by some of the statesmen of the time, and used his influence with them in support of the principles of religious freedom. The celebrated John Howard was a member of his congregation and an attached friend. In 1763, the University of Aberdeen conferred on him the degree of D.D. Dr. S. Stennett's prose publications consist of volumes of sermons, and pamphlets on Baptism and on Nonconformist Disabilities. He wrote one or two short poems, and contributed 38 hymns to the collection of his friend, Dr. Rippon (1787). His poetical genius was not of the highest order, and his best hymns have neither the originality nor the vigour of some of his grandfather's. The following, however, are pleasing in sentiment and expression, and are in common use more especially in Baptist congregations:—
1. And have I, Christ, no love for Thee? Love for Christ desired.
2. And will the offended God again? The Body the Temple of the Holy Ghost.
3. As on the Cross the Saviour hung. The Thief on the Cross.
4. Behold the leprous Jew. The healing of the Leper.
5. Come, every pious heart. Praise to Christ.
6. Father, at Thy call, I come. Lent.
7. Great God, amid the darksome night. God, a Sun.
8. Great God, what hosts of angels stand. Ministry of Angels.
9. Here at Thy Table, Lord, we meet. Holy Communion.
10. How charming is the place. Public Worship.
11. How shall the sons of men appear? Acceptance through Christ alone.
12. How soft the words my [the] Saviour speaks. Early Piety.
13. How various and how new. Divine Providence.
14. Not all the nobles of the earth. Christians as Sons of God.
15. On Jordan's stormy banks I stand. Heaven anticipated.
16. Prostrate, dear Jesus, at thy feet. Lent. Sometimes, "Dear Saviour, prostrate at Thy feet."
17. Should bounteous nature kindly pour. The greatest of these is Love. From this, "Had I the gift of tongues," st. iii., is taken.
18. Thy counsels of redeeming grace. Holy Scripture. From "Let avarice, from shore to shore."
19. Thy life 1 read, my dearest Lord. Death in Infancy. From this "'Tis Jesus speaks, I fold, says He."
20. 'Tis finished! so the Saviour cried. Good Friday.
21. To Christ, the Lord, let every tongue. Praise of Christ. From this,"Majestic sweetness sits enthroned," st. iii., is taken.
22. To God, my Saviour, and my King. Renewing Grace.
23. To God, the universal King. Praise to God.
24. What wisdom, majesty, and grace. The Gospel. Sometimes, “What majesty and grace."
25. Where two or three with sweet accord. Before the Sermon.
26. Why should a living man complain? Affliction. From this, "Lord, see what floods of sorrow rise," st. iii., is taken.
27. With tears of anguish I lament. Lent.
28. Yonder amazing sight I see. Good Friday.
All these hymns, with others by Stennett, were given in Rippon's Baptist Selection, 1787, a few having previously appeared in A Collection of Hymns for the use of Christians of all Denominations, London. Printed for the Booksellers, 1782; and No. 16, in the 1778 Supplement to the 3rd edition of the Bristol Baptist Selection of Ash and Evans. The whole of Stennett's poetical pieces and hymns were included in vol. ii. of his Works, together with a Memoir, by W. J. Jones. 4 vols., 1824. [Rev. W. R. Stevenson, M.A.]
