Christ the Lord is risen to-day,

Appears in 1,203 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is risen to-day, Sons of men and angels say: Raise your joys and triumphs high, Sing, ye heavens; and earth, reply. 2 Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the victory won: Jesus' agony is o'er, Darkness veils the earth no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Christ hath burst the gates of hell; Death in vain forbids Him rise, Christ hath open'd Paradise. 4 Soar we now where Christ hath led, Following our exalted Head; Made like Him, like Him we rise, Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

Glory be to Jesus

Appears in 212 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus, Who in bitter pains Poured for me the life-blood From His sacred veins! Grace and life eternal In that Blood I find, Blest be His compassion, Infinitely kind! 2 Blest through endless ages Be the precious stream, Which from endless torments Does the world redeem! Abel’s blood for vengeance Pleaded to the skies; But the Blood of Jesus For our pardon cries. 3 Oft as earth exulting Wafts its praise on high, Angel-hosts, rejoicing, Make their glad reply. Lift ye then your voices; Swell the mighty flood; Louder still and louder, Praise the precious Blood! Topics: Palm Sunday and Passion Week

Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God, my King, Thy might confessing, Ever will I bless Thy Name; Day by day Thy throne addressing, Still will I Thy praise proclaim. 2 Honour great our God befitteth; Who His Majesty can reach? Age to age His works transmitteth, Age to age His power shall teach. 3 They shall talk of all Thy glory, On Thy might and greatness dwell, Speak of Thy dread acts the story, And Thy deeds of wonder tell. 4 Nor shall fail from memory's treasure, Works by love and mercy wrought-- Works of love surpassing measure, Works of mercy passing thought. 5 Full of kindness and compassion, Slow to anger, vast in love, God is good to all creation; All His works His goodness prove. 6 All Thy works, O Lord, shall bless Thee; Thee shall all Thy saints adore; King supreme shall they confess Thee, And proclaim Thy sovereign power.

God shall charge his angel legions

Appears in 40 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God shall charge His angel legions Watch and ward o'er thee to keep; Though thou walk through hostile regions, Though in desert wilds thou sleep. 2 On the lion vainly roaring, On the young, thy foot shall tread; And, the dragon's den exploring, Thou shalt bruise the serpent's head. 3 Since, with pure and firm affection, Thou on God hast set thy love, With the wings of His protection He will shield thee from above. 4 Thou shalt call on Him in trouble, He will hearken, He will save; Here for grief reward thee double, Crown with life beyond the grave.

How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Appears in 158 hymnals Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day? Lo, these are they from sufferings great, Who came to realms of light: And in the Blood of Christ have washed Those robes which shine so bright. 2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love amidst The glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy, Tunes every mouth to sing: By day, by night, the sacred courts with glad Hosannahs ring. 3 The Lamb which reigns upon the throne Shall o’er them still preside; Feed them with nourishment divine, And all their footsteps guide. ’Mong pastures green He’ll lead His flock, Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from every eye Shall wipe off every tear.

In the vineyard of our Father

Appears in 117 hymnals Lyrics: 1 In the vineyard of our Father Daily work we find to do; Scatter'd gleanings we may gather, Though we are but weak and few; Little clusters Help to fill the basket too. 2 Toiling early in the morning, Catching moments through the day, Nothing small or lowly scorning While we work, and watch, and pray; Gathering gladly Free-will offerings by the way. 3 Not for selfish praise or glory, Not for objects nothing worth, But to send the blessèd story Of the Gospel o'er the earth, Telling mortals Of our Lord and Saviour's birth. 4 Up and ever at our calling, Till in death our lips are dumb, Or till -- sin's dominion falling -- Christ shall in His kingdom come, And His children Reach their everlasting home. 5 Steadfast, then, in our endeavoru, Heavenly Father, may we be; And for ever, and for ever, We will give the praise to Thee; Hallelujah Singing, all eternity.
