At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: Anonymous; Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing praise to our victorious King, who hath washed us in the tide flowing from his piercèd side; praise we him, whose love divine gives his sacred blood for wine, gives his body for the feast, Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest. 2 Where the Paschal blood is poured, death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, Paschal Victim, Paschal Bread; with sincerity and love eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty Victim from the sky, hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie; thou hast conquered in the fight, thou hast brought us life and light. Now no more can death appal, now no more the grave enthral: thou hast opened paradise, and in thee thy saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, sin alone can this destroy; from sin's power do thou set free souls new-born, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory and of praise, risen Lord, to thee we raise; holy Father, praise to thee, with the Spirit, ever be.

Thou, enthroned above the skies, wilt for Zion's help arise; let thy grace to her appear, for the promised time is near. 2 If with love compassionate we, thy servants, mourn her state, wilt not thou, O gracious Lord, help in Zion's need afford? Lord, thy glory shall appear, kings and nations then shall fear; and thy name shall be adored when thy Zion is restored. 3 This all ages shall record for the glory of the Lord; thou dost hear the humble prayer, for the helpless thou dost care. Thou eternal art, and great, heav'n and earth thou didst create; heav'n and earth shall pass away, changeless thou shall live for aye. 4 As one lays a garment by, thou wilt change the starry sky like a vesture worn and old; but thy years shall ne'er be told. Thou wilt make thy servants' race ever live before thy face, and forever at thy side children's children shall abide.

Mary to the Savior's Tomb

Author: Simeon Butler Marsh, 1798-1875; John Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 266 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Mary to the Savior’s tomb Hasted at the early dawn; Spice she brought, and rich perfume, But the Lord she loved had gone; For a while she lingering stood, Filled with sorrow and surprise, Trembling, while a crystal flood Issued from her weeping eye. 2. But her sorrow quickly fled When she heard His welcome voice; Christ had risen from the dead— Now He bids her heart rejoice. What a change His word can make, Turning darkness into day! Ye who weep for Jesus’ sake, He will wipe your tears away. 3. He who came to comfort her, When she thought her all was lost, Will for your relief appear, Tho’ you now are tempest-tossed. On His arm your burden cast; On His love your thoughts employ; Weeping for a while may last, But the morning brings the joy. Used With Tune: MARTYN

Brethren, While We Sojourn Here

Author: Joseph Swain Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 241 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Brethren, while we sojourn here, Fight we must, but should not fear; Foes we have, but we’ve a friend, One that loves us to the end. Forward then with courage go, Long we shall not dwell below; Soon the joyful news will come, "Child, your Father calls—Come home!" 2 In the way a thousand snares Lie, to take us unawares; Satan, with malicious art, Watches each unguarded part: But, from Satan’s malice free, Saints shall soon victorious be; Soon the joyful news will come, "Child, your Father calls—Come home!" 3 But, of all the foes we meet, None so oft mislead our feet, None betray us into sin, Like the foes that dwell within. Yet let nothing spoil your peace, Christ will also conquer these; Then the joyful news will come, "Child, your Father calls—Come home!"
