Alive in Christ

Author: Rev. Isaac N. Wilson Hymnal: The Helper in Sacred Song #117 (1889) First Line: Alive in Christ! oh, happy day Lyrics: 1 Alive in Christ! oh, happy day When from the death of sin I rose; Sweet was the new birth’s glorious thrill, And day by day ‘tis sweeter still. Alive in Christ! my spirit glows And my glad heart sings on its way, As it recounts the wondrous word That reconciled me to my Lord. 2 Alive in Christ! I grow in grace, And joyous tread the upward road; Holding communion sweet with God, I pass the mystic vales of sin: Alive in Christ! yes, all within Is purged from guilt and purified; I closer seek my Saviour’s side, And joy to see his smiling face. 3 ‘Tis done, complete in Christ I stand; All former joys are lost in this,— The deep, subdued subduing bliss, Lord I am naught: thou, thou, art all. May thy sweet peace forever fall On me, for my poor will is gone, Thine is the best, let thine be done; For so I love thee, O my God. Tune Title: [Alive in Christ! oh, happy day]

William J. Kirkpatrick

1838 - 1921 Person Name: Wm. J. Kirkpatrick Composer of "[Alive in Christ! oh, happy day]" in The Helper in Sacred Song William J. Kirkpatrick (b. Duncannon, PA, 1838; d. Philadelphia, PA, 1921) received his musical training from his father and several other private teachers. A carpenter by trade, he engaged in the furniture business from 1862 to 1878. He left that profession to dedicate his life to music, serving as music director at Grace Methodist Church in Philadelphia. Kirkpatrick compiled some one hundred gospel song collections; his first, Devotional Melodies (1859), was published when he was only twenty-one years old. Many of these collections were first published by the John Hood Company and later by Kirkpatrick's own Praise Publishing Company, both in Philadelphia. Bert Polman
