In the Bonds of Death He Lay

Author: Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1. In the bonds of death He lay, Who for our offense was slain, But the Lord is risen today, Christ hath brought us life again; Wherefore let us all rejoice, Singing loud with cheerful voice. 2. Of the sons of men was none Who could break the bonds of death, Sin this mischief dire had done, Innocent was none on earth; Wherefore death grew strong and bold, Death would all men captive hold. 3. Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, Came at last our foe to smite, All our sins away hath done, Done away death’s power and right; Only the form of death is left, Of his sting he is bereft. 4. ’Twas a wondrous war, I trow, When life and death together fought, But life hath triumphed o’er his foe, Death is mocked, and set at naught; Yea, ’tis as the Scripture saith, Christ through death hath conquered death. 5. Now our Paschal Lamb is He, And by Him alone we live, Who to death upon the tree For our sake Himself did give. Faith His blood strikes on our door, Death dares never harm us more. 6. On this day, most blest of days, Let us keep high festival, For our God hath showed His grace, And our Sun hath risen on all, And our hearts rejoice to see Sin and night before Him flee. 7. To the supper of the Lord Gladly will we come today; The word of peace is now restored, The old leaven is put away; Christ will be our food alone, Faith no life but His doth own.

Auf, Ihr Christen, Christi Glieder

Author: Justus Falckner Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 37 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Auf, ihr Christen, Christi Glieder, Die ihr noch hängt an dem Haupt, Auf, wacht auf, ermannt euch wieder, Eh ihr werdet hingeraubt Satan beut an den Streit Christo und der Christenheit. 2 Dieser Sieg hat auch empfunden Voller heilgen starker Muth. Da sie haben überwunden Fröhlich durch des Lammes Blut. Sollten wir den allhier Nicht auch streiten mit Begier? 3 Da Gott seinen treuen Knechten Geben wird den Gnadenlohn Und die Hütten der Gerechten Stimmen an den Siegeston; Da fürwahr Gottes Schar Ihn wird loben immerdar.

All Ye Gentile Lands Awake!

Author: Johann Rist; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: All ye Gentile lands awake Lyrics: 1. All ye Gentile lands awake! Thou, O Salem, rise and shine! See the day-spring o’er you break, Heralding a morn divine, Telling, God hath called to mind Those who long in darkness pined. 2. Lo! the shadows flee away, For our Light is come at length, Brighter than all earthly day, Source of being, life and strength! Whoso on this Light would gaze Must forsake all evil ways. 3. Ah how blindly did we stray Ere shone forth this glorious Sun, Seeking each his separate way, Leaving Heaven, unsought, unwon; All our looks were earthward bent, All our strength on earth was spent. 4. Earthly were our thoughts and low, In the toils of folly caught, Tossed of Satan to and fro, Counting goodness all for naught; By the world and flesh deceived, Heaven’s true joys we disbelieved. 5. Then were hidden from our eyes All the law and grace of God; Rich and poor, the fools and wise, Wanting light to find the road Leading to the heavenly life, Wandered lost in care and strife. 6. But the glory of the Lord Hath arisen on us today; We have seen the light outpoured That must surely drive away All things that to night belong, All the sad earth’s woe and wrong. 7. Thy arising, Lord, shall fill All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour; Thy arising, Lord, shall still All my dread of death’s dark power; Through my smiles and through my tears Still Thy light, O Lord, appears. 8. Let me, Lord in peace depart From this evil world to Thee; Where Thyself sole Brightness art, Thou hast kept a place for me: In the shining city there Crowns of light Thy saints shall wear.

Sinners, Will You Scorn the Message

Author: Jonathan Allen Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 288 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Sinners, will you scorn the message Sent in mercy from above? Every sentence, O how tender! Every line is full of love: Listen to it, listen to it, Every line is full of love. 2. Hear the heralds of the Gospel News from Zion’s King proclaim: Pardon to each rebel sinner, Free forgiveness in His name: How important, how important, Free forgiveness in His name. 3. Tempted souls, they bring you succor; Fearful hearts, they quell your fears, And, with news of consolation, Chase away the falling tears: Tender heralds, tender heralds, Chase away the falling tears. 4. False professors, groveling wordlings, Callous hearers of the Word, While the messengers address you, Take the warnings they afford; We entreat you, we entreat you, Take the warnings they afford. 5. O ye angels, hovering round us, Waiting spirits, speed your way; Haste ye to the court of heaven, Tidings bear without delay, Rebel sinners, rebel sinners, Glad the message will obey.
