Past Are The Cross, The Scourge, The Thorn

Author: Alfred C. Jewitt Meter: 8.8.4 D Appears in 10 hymnals Refrain First Line: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Lyrics: Refrain: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 1 Past are the cross, the scourge, the thorn, The scoffing tongue, the jibe, the scorn, And brightly breaks the Easter morn. Alleluia. [Refrain] 2 Gone are the gloomy clouds of night; The shades of death are put to flight, And from the tomb beams heav’nly light. Alleluia. [Refrain] 3 And so in sorrow dark and drear, Though black the night, the morn is near; Soon shall the heav’nly day appear, Alleluia. [Refrain] 4 And when death’s darkness dims our eyes, From out the gloom our souls shall rise In deathless glory to the skies. Alleluia. [Refrain] 5 Then let us raise the glorious strain, Love’s triumph over sin and pain, Faith’s victory o’er terror’s reign. Alleluia.

To Crucify Each Selfish Need

Author: Nannie L. Barnum Meter: 8.8.4 D Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To crucify each selfish need, And on the heavenly manna feed, Is my desire; A season spent at Jesus’ feet, For such a life to be more meet I do aspire. 2 Each idol cast from out my mind, A priceless jewel to enshrine Within my heart; Nor let its radiance be confined But shine to lighten human kind From out the dark. 3 Not forty days, but year by year, Until my Savior doth appear In garments white. To waken that glad Easter morn, And to the courts of Heaven be borne New and contrite. Used With Tune: TRACY Text Sources: The Century Hymnal by H. Augustine Smith (New York: Century Company, 1921)
