When, O King Immortal

Author: John Brownlie; St. John of Damascus Hymnal: JBHGC #52 (1900) Meter: 6.5.6.5.7.7 D Lyrics: When, O King Immortal, Thou didst seek the gloom, Tasting death in meekness, Resting in the tomb— On that dark and woful day, Hades owned Thy kingly sway. Victor! now we hail Thee, Hail Thee Christ our God; Thou hast burst the barrier Of Thy dark abode; On that glad and glorious day, Hades owned Thy kingly sway. They who bore the spices In the early hour, Heard the salutation Of the Lord of power, And His followers, sore and sad, Found the peace that made them glad. Hail the King Immortal! Death by death is slain, And the weak and fallen Rise to life again; On this glad and glorious day Hades owns the Victor’s sway. Languages: English

Behold the Bridegroom cometh

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #54 (1900) Meter: 7.7.7.7.8.6 Lyrics: Behold the Bridegroom cometh At the hour of midnight drear, And blest be he who watcheth When his Master shall appear, But woe betide the careless one Asleep when He is near! O soul of mine, bestir thee Lest thou sink in slumber quite, And the Bridegroom find thee sleeping When He cometh in His might. Awake, awake to praises, For He cometh in the night. That fearful day approacheth, Then live, O soul, aright, And watch the hour, and trim thy lamp And keep it burning bright, Lest the voice be heard, ‘He cometh!’ In the middle of the night. Beware when slumber binds thee, Lest the Bridegroom pass thee by, And thou knock without in darkness, And for grief and anguish cry; Take thy lamp, with oil, and trim it, For the hour is drawing nigh.

It is a comely thing

When Thou shalt come, O Lord

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #62 (1900) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Lyrics: When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Wrapt in Thy glory bright, Then shall the earth in terror quake, The sun withhold his light. When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Then to Thy judgment-bar, Even as a mighty stream, shall flow The sons of men from far. When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Then shall the books be spread, And from their secrets Thou shalt judge The living and the dead. When Thou shalt come, O Lord, Then save me by Thy power, Let not the flames of wrath o’ertake Thy servant in that hour. When Thou shalt come, O Lord, In mercy let me stand— No guilt upon my conscience laid— Approved, at Thy right hand. Languages: English

Hail the Resurrection day!

Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #67 (1900) Meter: 7.8.7.8 D Lyrics: Hail the Resurrection day! Let the people shout for gladness; ’Tis a passover of joy,— Let us banish every sadness; For, from death to endless life, Christ our God His people bringeth; As from earth to heaven we rise, Each his song of triumph singeth. From our eyes the veil remove, That we may, in light transcending, See the risen Lord of Life, Life to all in grace extending. Let our ears His voice perceive; To His accents kind attending, We would hear ‘All hail!’ and sing, Every voice in triumph blending. Let the heavens above rejoice, Let the earth take up the measure; All the world, and all therein, Join the festival of pleasure; All things visible unite With invisible in singing; For the Christ is risen indeed, Everlasting gladness bringing.

Come, let us drink the water new

Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #69 (1900) Meter: 8.9.8.9 Lyrics: Come, let us drink the water new, Not from the rock divinely springing, But from that pure immortal stream That from His tomb our Lord is bringing. All things in earth and heaven above Are filled with light that shines supernal; So all creation keeps this feast, For He hath risen, the King eternal. With Thee, O Christ, I lay entombed, Ere light upon this day was falling; With Thee I leave death’s dark abode, For Thou hast risen, and Thou art calling. With Thee upon the Cross I hung When Thou wast faint, and weak, and sighing; Lord, with Thyself Thy servant bless, In Thy bright realm through years undying. Languages: English

Prophet of the Lord, beside us

Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Hymnal: JBHGC #70 (1900) Meter: 7.8.7.7 Lyrics: Prophet of the Lord, beside us, Now upon the watch-tower stand; Let us see the light-clad angel Earthward come at God’s command, Telling of His power to save, Who hath risen from the grave. He was born of Virgin Mother, Lamb of God on whom we feed; Free from every spot, and blameless, Yea, a Passover indeed: Very God His wondrous claim, And Perfection is His name. As a yearling lamb He suffered, He, our Blessed, saving Crown; That He might from vileness cleanse us, Freely was His life laid down; Now, with beauty in our eyes, See the glorious Sun arise. As the ark was borne in triumph, David leaped with gladness then; Now before the Type’s fulfilment We should joy as holier men; For, omnipotent to save, Christ hath left the dismal grave.
