The Day of Resurrection!

Author: John of Damascus Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 527 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day of Resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad! The Passover of gladness, The Passover of God! From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over, With hymns of victory, With hymns of victory. 2 Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light; And listening to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain, His own "All hail!"--and hearing, May raise the victor strain. May raise the victor strain. 3 Now let the heavens be joyful! Let earth the song begin! Let all the world keep triumph, And all that is therein! In grateful exultation Their notes let all things blend, For Christ the Lord hath risen, Our Joy that hath no end. Amen. Topics: Easter Used With Tune: DU, HJÄLTE UTI STRIDEN

While yet the Morn is Breaking

Awake! The Watchman Crieth

Author: Frans Michael Franzen, 1772-1847 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Awake! the watchman crieth, On Zion's ramparts still! The Lord His grace supplieth, Repent, and heed His will. Life's journey fast is nearing The ever-boundless shore; The hour of death appearing, When time shall be no more. 2 Too late the sinners waken Where morn hath ceased to dawn; Where grace, in time forsaken, Is evermore withdrawn; Where's heard no praying sentence, Nor mercy to implore; For there is no repentance, When time shall be no more. 3 O soul! beyond salvation, See this eternity Of darkness, desolation, And constant agony. The torments none can banish, Nor aught can peace restore; And hope itself shall vanish, When time shall be no more! 4 Awake! the voice still soundeth 'Tis now the accepted hour; The grace of God aboundeth, To save from sin's dread power. Make haste implore Christ's favor, Thy sins confess, and bow Before Thy Lord and Saviour; The accepted time is now. Topics: Repentance Used With Tune: OLD 130TH PSALM

God's promise faileth never, Hosanna sound forever! Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 3 Fling wide thy portals, Zion, And hail thy glorious King: His tidings of salvation To every people bring, Who, waiting yet in sadness, Would sing His praise with gladness. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 4 He cometh not with warriors, And not with pomp and show Yet smiteth He with terror Sin, death, and every foe. The Spirit's sword He wieldeth, Not e'en to death He yieldeth. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 5 Give heed, thou sinful people, Thy King and Saviour own: The kingdom which He foundeth Is not an earthly one; No power can overthrow it, Nor earthly wisdom know it. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 6 The throne which He ascendeth Is fixed in heaven above: His sanctified dominion Is light alone and love, With grace and peace abounding His praise be ever sounding. Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! 7 Jerusalem is fallen, And closed its temple-door; Its sacrifices ended; Its scepter is no more. Christ's kingdom never ceaseth, Its glory still increaseth Oh, blest is He that came In God the Father's Name! Topics: Advent Used With Tune: BEREDEN VÄG FÖR HERREN

They pierce the highest heaven, Unheard they cannot fall, Till He His help hath given Who surely helpeth all. 4 The whole wide world, O Spirit, Upon Thy hands doth rest; Our wayward hearts Thou turnest As it may seem Thee best. As Thou hast done so often, Once more Thy power make known, Convert the wicked, soften To tears the heart of stone. 5 Order our path in all things According to Thy mind, And when this life is over, And all must be resigned, With calm and fearless spirit Oh! grant us then to die, And after death inherit Eternal life on high. Amen. Topics: Worship Used With Tune: MIG KLÄD I HELIG PRYDNAD

There's light o'er the grave: Fulfilled hath the Saviour The promise He gave. With joy and salvation, The Victor on earth, 'Mid heaven's adoration, In glory comes forth. The seal hath been broken, the stone rolled away, The watchers have all fled in awe and dismay: Hell itself is trembling. Hallelujah! 2 The victory was glorious, Now darkness must flee; The light was victorious, And ever shall be. Now death is o'erpowered, And faith doth revive; And hope on us showered, And hearts made alive. Ye sorrowing women, whom seek ye now here? The Saviour now liveth! Allay then your fear: Christ Jesus is risen. Hallelujah! 3 Thus earth was with heaven Through Christ reconciled; And joy shall be given The penitent child. Ye friends who once bended Your heads 'neath the cross, Rejoice! they are ended Your sorrows and woes! Thou scatteréd flock that for guidance dost yearn, He liveth, thy Shepherd, to Him now return: He guideth thee ever. Hallelujah! 4 'Mid foes that alarm us, His church stands secure: No evil can harm us, His Word shall endure. Lo! to all the nations, To friend and to foe, With courage and patience His messengers go, And tell of the Saviour who dies for our sin, And rose from the dead, and now liveth again, The first-fruits of glory. Hallelujah! 5 Believers befriended, Why do ye lament? The day is soon ended, The night is soon spent. The grace shall embrace you, And you shall find rest; The Saviour shall raise you, To live and be blest. He soweth the grain, and He cometh at last; And truly the tares from the wheat He shall cast, And gather the harvest. Hallelujah! Topics: Easter Used With Tune: HVAD LJUS ÖFVER GRIFTEN!
