Christ is risen, Christ is risen

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #220 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen, Christ is risen, tell it out with joyful voice; Christ has burst his three days' prison: let the whole wide earth rejoice! Death is conquered, we are free, Christ has won the victory. 2 Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted, with glad smile and radiant brow; Lent's long shadows have departed, all his woes are over now, and the Passion that he bore; sin and pain can vex no more. 3 Christ is risen, Christ is risen; he hath opened heaven's gate: we are free from sin's dark prison, risen to a holier state; and a brighter Easter beam on our longing eyes shall stream.

Hark! Ten Thousand Harps and Voices

Author: Thomas Kelly Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #221 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Hark! ten thousand harps and voices Sound the note of praise above; Jesus reigns, and heav'n rejoices-- Jesus reigns, the God of Love. See, He sits on yonder throne; Jesus rules the world alone. 2 Come, ye saints, unite your praises With the angels round His throne; Soon, we hope, our God will raise us To the place where He is gone. Meet it is that we should sing, "Glory, glory, to our King!" 3 Sing how Jesus came from heaven, How He bore the cross below, How all pow'r to Him is given, How He reigns in glory now; ’Tis a great and endless theme, Oh, ’tis sweet to sing of Him! 4 Jesus, hail! Thy glory brightens All above and gives it worth; Lord of Life, Thy smile enlightens, Cheers, and charms Thy saints on earth. When we think of love like Thine, Lord, we own it love divine. 5 King of Glory, reign forever; Thine an everlasting crown. Nothing from Thy love shall sever Those whom Thou hast made Thine own, Happy objects of Thy grace, Destined to behold Thy face. 6 Savior, hasten Thine appearing; Bring, oh, bring the glorious day When, the awe-full summons hearing, Heaven and earth shall pass away; Then with golden harps we'll sing, "Glory, glory, to our King!"

Gentle God, When We Are Driven

Author: Shirley Erena Murray, 1931- Hymnal: Community of Christ Sings #222 (2013) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Gentle God, when we are driven past the limits of our love, when our hurt would have a weapon and the hawk destroy the dove, at the cost of seeming weak, help us turn the other cheek. 2 Gentle Spirit, when our reason clouds in anger, twists in fear, when we strike instead of stroking, when we bruise and sting and smear, cool our burning, take our pain, bring us to ourselves again. 3 In the mirror of earth’s madness let us see our ravaged face, in the turmoil of all people let compassion find a place, touch our hearts to make amends, see our enemies as friends. 4 Let our strength be in forgiving as forgiven we must be, one to one in costly loving, finding trust and growing free, gentle God, be our release, gentle Spirit, teach us peace.

Who is this that comes from Edom

Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran Hymn-book #223 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom, All His raiment stained with blood; To the captive speaking freedom; Bringing and bestowing good: Glorious in the garb He wears, Glorious in the spoils He bears? 2 'Tis the Savior, now victorious, Travelling onward in His might; 'Tis the Savior; O how glorious To His people is the sight! Satan conquered and the grave, Jesus now is strong to save. 3 Why that blood His raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain; Of His foes there's none remaining, None the contest to maintain. Falln they are, no more to rise; All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor, reign forever, Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall Thy people, never, Cease to sing what Thou hast done; Thou hast fought Thy people's foes; Thou hast healed Thy people's woes.

Friends of God Whose Faith Abounded

Author: Christopher Idle Hymnal: Singing the New Testament #224 (2008) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Friends of God whose faith abounded have their victories told aloud; by such witnessses surrounded, Christ's unseen, uncounted crowd, we take up the unfinished race, chosen, trained, inspired by grace. 2 Confident and persevering, firmly let us run to win, stripped of all the interfering rags and shreds of stubborn sin; still on Jesus fix our eyes, faith's foundation and its prize. 3 Jesus, for the joy before him made a crown of thorns his own, seated now where we adore him, high upon his Father's throne; see the shame which he endured, share the triuph he secured.

Once in Royal David's City

Author: Cecil F. Alexander Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal (Rev. ed.) #225 (1990) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city stood a lowly cattle shed, where a mother laid her baby in a manger for his bed: Mary was that mother mild, Jesus Christ her little child. 2 He came down to earth from heaven who is God and Lord of all, and his shelter was a stable, and his cradle was a stall: with the poor, and mean, and lowly, lived on earth our Savior holy. 3 And through all his wondrous childhood he would honor and obey, love and watch the lowly maiden in whose gentle arms he lay: Christian children all must be mild, obedient, good as he. 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, through his own redeeming love; for that child so dear and gentle is our Lord in heav'n above, and he leads his children on to the place where he is gone. 5 Not in that poor lowly stable, with the oxen standing by, we shall see him, but in heaven, set at God's right hand on high; when like stars his children crowned all in white shall wait around.

Come, Oh, Come, Thou Quickening Spirit

Author: Heinrich Held; Charles W. Schaeffer Hymnal: The Lutheran Hymnal #226 (1941) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 First Line: Come, oh, come, Thou quick'ning Spirit Lyrics: 1 Come, oh, come, Thou quick'ning Spirit, God from all eternity! May Thy power never fail us; Dwell within us constantly. Then shall truth and life and light Banish all the gloom of night. 2 Grant our hearts in fullest measure Wisdom, counsel, purity, That they ever may be seeking Only that which pleaseth Thee. Let Thy knowledge spread and grow, Working error's overthrow. 3 Show us, Lord, the path of blessing; When we trespass on our way, Cast, O Lord, our sins behind Thee And be with us day by day. Should we stray, O Lord, recall; Work repentance when we fall. 4 With our spirit bear Thou witness That we are the sons of God Who rely upon Him solely When we pass beneath the rod; For we know, as children should, That the cross is for our good. 5 Prompt us, Lord, to come before Him With a childlike heart to pray; Sigh in us, O Holy Spirit, When we know not what to say. Then our prayer is not in vain, And our faith new strength shall gain. 6 If our soul can find no comfort And despondency grows strong, That the heart cries out in anguish: "O my God, how long, how long?" Comfort then our aching breast, Grant it courage, patience, rest. 7 Holy Spirit, strong and mighty, Thou who makest all things new, Make Thy work within us perfect And the evil foe subdue. Grant us weapons for the strife And with victory crown our life. 8 Guard, O God, our faith forever; Let not Satan, death, or shame Ever part us from our Savior; Lord our Refuge is Thy name. Though our flesh cry ever: Nay! Be Thy Word to us still Yea! 9 And when life's frail thread is breaking, Then assure us more and more, As the heirs of life unending, Of the glory there in store, Glory never yet expressed, Glory of the saints at rest.
