Yes, the Redeemer rose

Author: Doddridge Appears in 227 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Yes, the Redeemer rose; The Saviour left the dead, And o'er our hellish foes High raised his conquering head; In wild dismay The guards around Fall to the ground, And sink away. 2 Behold, the angelic bands In full assembly meet, To wait his high commands, And worship at his feet: With joy they come, And wing their way From realms of day To Jesus' tomb. 3 Then back to heaven they fly, The joyful news to bear: Hark! as they soar on high, What music fills the air! Their anthems say, The Lord who bled Hath left the dead; He rose to-day. 4 Ye mortals, catch the sound, Redeemed by him from hell, And send the echo round The globe on which you dwell; Transported, cry, The Lord who bled Hath left the dead, No more to die.

From Calvary a cry was heard

Author: Cunningham Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From Calvary a cry was heard, A bitter and heart-rending cry; My Saviour! every mournful word Bespeaks thy soul's deep agony. 2 A horror of great darkness fell On thee, thou spotless, holy One! And all the swarming hosts of hell Conspired to tempt God's only Son. 3 The scourge, the thorns, the deep disgrace,-- These thou couldst bear, nor once repine, But when Jehovah veiled his face, Unutterable pangs were thine. 4 Let the dumb world its silence break; Let pealing anthems rend the sky: Awake, my sluggish soul, awake! He died that we might never die. Topics: Christs Sufferings and Death; The Hidings of the Father's Face Scripture: Genesis 15:12

When God--neglected or denied

Author: T. H. Stockton Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When God--neglected or denied-- From ancient tribes withdrew his grace, How soon the erring myriads strove With phantom forms to fill his place! 2 On every hill, by every stream, All homes within, all waysides near, The hallowed idols senseless stood-- The helpless suppliants bowed with fear. 3 With gods for every foot of land, And every pause of passing time, In life no soothing peace they found, In death no heavenly hope sublime. 4 O Thou, the true and living God! Maker of all above--below, Eternal--self-existent One! How blest are we thy name to know! 5 One God--enlightened faith adores; One God--harmonious nature cries; One God--our common Sire and Lord, The brotherhood of mind replies. 6 To thee--Supreme!--to thee alone, Be hymns of highest glory sung; The source of joy to every hear, The theme of praise to every tongue.
