Psalms 68:16-18

• [Psa 68:17] Swing Low, Sweet Chariot

  Refrain Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home, Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home. I looked over Jordan, and what did I see? Coming for to carry me home, A band of angels coming after me, Coming for to carry me home. Refrain If you get there before I do, Coming for to carry me home, Tell all my friends I’m coming, too. Coming for to carry me home. Refrain I’m sometimes up and sometimes down, Coming for to carry me home, But still my soul feels heavenly bound, Coming for to carry me home. Refrain The brightest day that I can say, Coming for to carry me home, When Jesus washed my sins away, Coming for to carry me home. Refrain

  The happy morn is come! Triumphant o’er the grave, The Lord hath left the tomb Omnipotent to save. Refrain Captivity is captive led; For Jesus liveth that was dead. Who now accuseth them For whom their Surety died? Who now shall those condemn Whom God hath justified? Refrain Christ hath the ransom paid; The glorious work is done; Oh Him our help is laid; By Him our victory won. Refrain Hail, the triumphant Lord! Thy resurrection Thou! We bless Thy sacred Word; Before Thy throne we bow. Refrain

• [Psa 68:18] Make Me A Captive, Lord

  Make me a captive, Lord, and then I shall be free. Force me to render up my sword, and I shall conqueror be. I sink in life’s alarms when by myself I stand; Imprison me within Thine arms, and strong shall be my hand. My heart is weak and poor until it master find; It has no spring of action sure, it varies with the wind. It cannot freely move till Thou has wrought its chain; Enslave it with Thy matchless love, and deathless it shall reign. My power is faint and low till I have learned to serve; It lacks the needed fire to glow, it lacks the breeze to nerve. It cannot drive the world until itself be driven; Its flag can only be unfurled when Thou shalt breathe from heaven. My will is not my own till Thou hast made it Thine; If it would reach a monarch’s throne, it must its crown resign. It only stands unbent amid the clashing strife, When on Thy bosom it has leant, and found in Thee its life.

• [Psa 68:18] Most Glorious Lord Of Life

  Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day Didst make Thy triumph over death and sin, And having harrowed hell, didst bring away Captivity thence captive, us to win. This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin, And grant that we may for whom Thou didest die, Being with Thy dear blood clean washed from sin, May live forever in felicity. And that Thy love we weighing worthily, May likewise love Thee for the same again; And for Thy sake, that all like dear didst buy, With love may one another entertain. So let us love, dear Love, like as we ought; Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.

• [Psa 68:18] My Lord And I

  I have a Friend so precious, So very dear to me, He loves me with a tender love, He loves me faithfully; I could not live apart from Him, I love to feel Him nigh; And so we dwell together, My Lord and I. Sometimes I’m faint and weary, He knows that I am weak; And as He bids me lean on Him, His help I’ll gladly seek; He leads me in the path of light, Beneath a sunny sky; And so we dwell together, My Lord and I. He knows how much I love Him, He knows I love Him well; But with what love He loveth me, My tongue can never tell; It is an everlasting love In ever rich supply; And so we dwell together, My Lord and I. I tell Him all my sorrows, I tell Him all my joys, I tell Him all that pleases me, I tell Him what annoys; He tells me what I ought to do, Hs tells me what to try; And so we dwell together, My Lord and I. He knows how I am longing Some weary soul to win, And so He bids me go and speak A loving word for Him; He bids me tell His wondrous love, And why He came to die; And so we dwell together, My Lord and I.

• [Psa 68:18] O Christ, Thou Hast Ascended

  O Christ, Thou hast ascended, Triumphantly on high! By cherub guards attended And armies of the sky: Let earth tell forth the story— Our very flesh and bone, Immanuel, in glory, Ascends His Father’s throne. Heaven’s gates unfold above Thee: But canst Thou, Lord, forget The little band who love Thee And gaze from Olivet? Nay, on Thy breast engraven Thou bearest every name, Our Priest in earth and Heaven Eternally the same. There, there Thou standest pleading The virtue of Thy blood, For sinners interceding, Our Advocate with God: And every changeful fashion Of our brief joys and cares, Finds thought in Thy compassion And echo in Thy prayers. O for the priceless merit Of Thy redeeming cross! Vouchsafe Thy sevenfold spirit And turn to gain our loss; Till we by strong endeavor In heart and mind ascend And dwell with Thee forever In raptures without end.

• [Psa 68:18] O Lord, Thou Hast Ascended

  O Lord, Thou hast ascended On high in might to reign; Captivity Thou leadest A captive in Thy train. Rich gifts to Thee are offered By men who did rebel, Who pray that now Jehovah Their God with them may dwell. Blest be the Lord Who daily Our heavy burden bears, The God of our salvation, Who for His people cares. Our God is near to help jus, Our God is strong to save; The Lord alone is able To ransom from the grave. Sing unto God, ye nations, Ye kingdoms of the earth; Sing unto God, all people, And praise His matchless worth. He rides in royal triumph Upon the heavens abroad; He speaks, the mountains tremble Before the voice of God. All glory, might and honor Ascribe to God on high; His arm protects His people Who on His power rely. Forth from Thy holy dwelling Thine awful glorires shine; Thou strengthenest Thy people; Unending praise be Thine.

• [Psa 68:18] Our Lord Is Risen From The Dead

  Our Lord is risen from the dead! Our Jesus is gone up on high! The powers of hell are captive led, Dragged to the portals of the sky. There His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: Lift up your heads, you heavenly gates; You everlasting doors, give way! Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the ethereal scene; He claims these mansions as His right Receive the King of glory in! Who is this King of glory? Who? The Lord that all our foes overcame; The world, sin, death, and hell overthrew; And Jesus is the conqueror’s Name. Lo! His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: Lift up your heads, you heavenly gates; You everlasting doors give way! Who is the King of Glory, who? The Lord of glorious power possessed, The King of saints and angels, too; God over all, forever blessed.

• [Psa 68:18] See, The Conqueror Mounts In Triumph

  See, the Conqueror mounts in triumph; see the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, His chariot, to His heavenly palace gate. Hark! the choirs of angel voices joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted to receive their heavenly King. 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 has vanquished sin and Satan, He by death has spoiled His foes. While He lifts His hands in blessing, He is parted from His friends While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends; He Who walked with God and pleased Him, preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated to His everlasting home. 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. He has raised our human nature in 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. Holy Ghost, llluminator, shed Thy beams upon our eyes, Help us to look up with Stephen, and to see beyond the skies, Where the Son of Man in glory standing is at God’s right hand, Beckoning on His martyr army, succoring His faithful band. See Him, who is gone before us, heavenly mansions to prepare, See Him, who is ever pleading for us with prevailing prayer, See Him, who with sound of trumpet, and with His angelic train, Summoning the world to judgment, on the clouds will come again. Raise us up from earth to Heaven, give us wings of faith and love, Gales of holy aspirations wafting us to realms above; That, with hearts and minds uplifted, we with Christ our Lord may dwell, Where He sits enthroned in glory in His heavenly citadel. So at last, when He appeareth, we from out our graves may spring, With our youth renewed like eagles, flocking round our heavenly King. Caught up on the clouds of Heaven, and may meet Him in the air, Rise to realms where He is reigning, and may reign for ever there. Glory be to God the Father, glory be to God the Son, Dying, risen, ascending for us, who the heavenly realm has won; Glory to the Holy Spirit, to one God in persons Three; Glory both in earth and Heaven, glory, endless glory, be.

• [Psa 68:18] When Christ Arose

  The earth was filled with peace and light, When Christ arose; The heavens trembled at the sight, When Christ arose; The sea rejoiced along the sands, The vernal valleys clapped their hands, The mountains sang, and all the lands, When Christ arose. The tomb was empty where He lay, When Christ arose; And angels rolled the stone away, When Christ arose; A sound of triumph thrilled the air, The glorious tidings to declare, And there was gladness ev’rywhere, When Christ arose. The soul of man was born anew, When Christ arose; The cross divine appeared in view, When Christ arose; A glorious light from heaven streamed, And from the cross a radiance beamed, For ev’ry spirit was redeemed, When Christ arose.
