Full Lyrics
NEW PRAISES BE GIVEN
VERSE 1
New praises be given to Christ newly Crown'd,
Who back to his heaven a new way hath found,
God's blessedness sharing before us he goes;
What mansions preparing, what endless repose.
VERSE 2
His glory still praising on thrice holy ground,
The apostles stood gazing, his mother around,
With hearts that beat faster, With eyes full of love,
They watched while their Master ascended above.
VERSE 3
No star can disclose Him, The bright angels said;
Eternity knows Him, your conquering head
Those high habitations He leaves not again,
Till judging all nations, On earth shall reign.
VERSE 4
Thus spoke they, and straightway, where legions defend
Heaven's glittering gateway, Their Lord they attend,
And cry, looking thither, you portals let down
For him who rides hither, in peace and renown.
REVIVE US AGAIN
VERSE 1
We praise thee, O God, for the son of thy love,
For Jesus who died, And is now gone above.
CHORUS
Halleluia Thine the glory, Alleluia, Amen.
Alleluia Thine the glory Revive us again.
VERSE 2
We praise Thee, O God, For the spirit of light,
Who has shown us our Saviour, And scattered our night.
VERSE 3
All glory and praise, To the lamb that was slain,
And hath cleansed every stain from all His children.
VERSE 4
Revive us again, Fill each soul with thy love,
May each soul be rekindled with fire from above.
