Lord of Glory, You Have Bought Us

Author: Eliza S. Alderson, 1818-1889 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 65 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord of glory, you have bought us With your life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice; And with that have freely given Blessings countless as the sand To the unthankful and the evil With your own unsparing hand. 2 Grant us hearts, dear Lord, to give you Gladly, freely, of your own. With the sunshine of your goodness Melt our thankless hearts of stone Till our cold and selfish natures, Warmed by you, at length believe That more happy and more blessed 'Tis to give than to receive. 3 Wondrous honor you have given To our humblest charity In your own mysterious sentence, "You have done it all to me." Can it be, O gracious Master, That you deign for alms to sue, Saying by your poor and needy, "Give as I have giv'n to you"? 4 Yes, the sorrow and the suff'rings Which on ev'ry hand we view Channels are for gifts and off'rings Due by solemn right to you; Right of which we may not rob you, Debt we may not choose but pay, Lest that face of love and pity Turn from us another day. 4 Lord of glory, you have bought us With Your life-blood as the price, Never grudging for the lost ones That tremendous sacrifice. Give us faith to trust you boldly, Hope, to stay our souls on you: But, oh, best of all your graces, With your love our love renew.

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna Lyrics: 1. Christ is risen! Shout Hosanna! Celebrate this day of days! Christ is risen! Hush in wonder: All creation is amazed. In the desert all-surrounding, See, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding Bring a taste of love unknown. 2. Christ is risen! Raise your spirits From the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection, Not a servant, but a friend. Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3. Christ is risen! Earth and heaven Nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation Where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim, demonic chorus: Christ is risen! Get you gone! God the First and Last is with us, Sing Hosanna, everyone!

Holy Savior, who in meekness Didst vouch-safe a child to be, Guide their steps and help their weakness, Bless and make them like to Thee; Bear Thy lambs, when they are weary, In Thine arms, and at Thy breast; Thro' life's desert, dry and dreary, Bring them to Thy heav'nly rest. 3. Spread Thy golden pinions o'er them, Holy Spirit, heav'nly Dove, Guide them, lead them, go before them, Give them peace, and joy, and love; Thy true temples, Holy Spirit, May they with Thy glory shine, And immortal bliss inherit, And forevermore be Thine.

Let your light so shine around you that God's name is glorified; and all find fresh hope and purpose in Christ Jesus crucified. 3 Once you were an alien people, strangers to God's heart of love; but he brought you home in mercy, citizens of heav'n above. Let his love flow out to others, let them feel a Father's care; that they too may know his welcome and his countless blessings share. 4 Church of God, elect and holy, be the people he intends; strong in faith and swift to answer each command your master sends: royal priests, fulfill your calling through your sacrifice and prayer; give your lives in joyful service, sing his praise, his love declare.

Meet me now with Thy salvation, In the Church’s ordered way; Let me feel Thy confirmation In Thy truth and fear to-day: 3 So that, faith and firmness gaining, Hope in danger, joy in grief, Now and evermore remaining Steadfast in the true belief, Resting in my Saviour’s merit, Strengthened with the Spirit’s strength, With Thy Church I may inherit All my Father’s joy at length.
