Remember! on the cross He hung,
To rescue us from sin ;

Let this restrain the wilful tongue,

The heart that burns within:

By passion's fury, envy's pain,
We crucify our Lord again.

Oh, think on this when anger, pride,
Or malice, fills your heart;
For such your Benefactor died—
Then bid the sin depart,

Whose doom our Saviour's spirit shook,
On which th' Almighty cannot look.

But for our blest Redeemer's love,
We could not seek our God;
We could not lift our prayers above,
Or bear the Judge's rod;
But in the Son's eternal name,

Grace, mercy, and support we claim.

Bow down before His glorious cross;
My soul, bow down in prayer:
He has repaid our bitter loss,

He has redeemed us there;
For 'tis there only we can plead,

There only find the help we need.

EASTER HYMN.

THE tomb hath given up her trust,
The sentence hath been sealed,
The form clothed in her purest dust,
Once more to earth revealed;
The body died, for sinners slain,
For sinners it hath risen again.

To be our healing, was its death;
To be our hope, its birth;
For us, that voice of living breath
Spake in the words of earth;

Christ dwelt among us, sojourned here,

Then suffered by the cross and spear.
