Rest of the weary! Thou
Author: Solomon Frank; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #186 (1890) Meter: 6.6.10 Topics: Easter Eve; Easter Eve Lyrics: 1 Rest of the weary! Thou
Thyself art resting now,
Where lowly in Thy sepulchre Thou liest;
From out her deathly sleep
My soul doth start, to weep
So sad a wonder, that Thou, Saviour, diest!
2 Thy bitter anguish o'er,
To this dark tomb they bore
Thee, Life of life--Thee, Lord of all creation!
The hollow rocky cave
Must serve Thee for a grave,
Who wast Thyself the Rock of our salvation!
3 O Prince of Life! I know
That when I too lie low,
Thou wilt at last my soul from death awaken;
And thus I will not shrink
From the grave's awful brink;
The heart that trusts in Thee shall ne'er be shaken.
4 To me the darksome tomb
Is but a narrow room,
Where I may rest in peace, from sorrow free.
Thy Death shall give me power
To cry in that dark hour,
O Death! O Grave! where is your victory?
5 The grave can naught destroy;
Only the flesh can die,
And e'en the body triumphs o'er decay:
Clothed by Thy wondrous might
In robes of dazzling light,
This flesh shall burst the grave at that Last Day.
6 My Jesus, day by day,
Help me to watch and pray,
Beside the tomb where in my heart Thou'rt laid.
Thy bitter Death shall be
My constant memory,
My guide at last into death's awful shade. Languages: English Tune Title: EASTER EVE

Rest of the weary! Thou
All is o'er, the pain, the sorrow
Author: John Moultrie Hymnal: Church Book #185 (1890) Meter: 8.7.7 Topics: Easter Eve; Easter Eve Lyrics: 1 All is o'er, the pain, the sorrow,
Human taunts and Satan's spite;
Death shall be despoiled to-morrow
Of the prey he grasps to-night;
Yet once more, to seal his doom,
Christ must sleep within the tomb.
2 Fierce and deadly was the anguish
On the bitter Cross He bore;
How did soul and body languish,
Till the toil of death was o'er!
But that toil, so fierce and dread,
Bruised and crushed the serpent's head.
3 Close and still the tomb that holds Him,
While in brief repose He lies:
Deep the slumber that enfolds Him,
Veiled awhile from mortal eyes:
Slumber such as needs must be
After hard-won victory.
4 We this night with plaintive voicing
Chant His requiem soft and low;
Loftier strains of loud rejoicing
From to-morrow's harps shall flow:
Death and hell at length are slain,
Christ hath triumphed, Christ doth reign. Languages: English Tune Title: COBLENTZ
All is o'er, the pain, the sorrow
Jesus, Thy soul, for ever blest
Author: Isaac Williams Hymnal: Church Book #187 (1890) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Easter Eve; Easter Eve Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Thy soul, for ever blest,
Hath gone among the dead,
And to his peaceful place of rest
The dying thief hath led.
2 And all for us; that when, ere long,
We shall resign our breath,
We may not fear to go among
The unseen shades of death.
3 In death's dark vale I soon must be,
But I will nothing fear;
Thy rod and staff will comfort me;
Thou hast Thyself been there. Languages: English Tune Title: DOMINE CLAMAVI
Jesus, Thy soul, for ever blest
Lord Jesus, who, our souls to save
Author: George Werner; Miss Winkworth Hymnal: Church Book #188 (1890) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Easter Eve; Easter Eve Lyrics: 1 Lord Jesus, who, our souls to save,
Didst rest and slumber in the grave,
Now grant us all in Thee to rest,
And here to live as seems Thee best.
2 Give us the strength, the dauntless faith,
That Thou hast purchased with Thy Death,
And lead us to that glorious place,
Where we shall see the Father's face.
3 O Lamb of God! who once wast slain,
We thank Thee for that bitter pain.
Let us partake Thy Death, that we
May enter into Life with Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: ERHALT UNS, HERR, BEI DEINEM WORT

Author: Arthur Cleveland Coxe Hymnal: Church Book #189 (1890) Meter: 8.7 Topics: Easter Eve; Easter Eve Lyrics: 1 Hail, all hail, Thou Lord of glory!
Thee our Father, Thee we own!

Thou with Thy dear Blood hast bought us;
Hail, Thou mighty Victor, hail! Languages: English Tune Title: ARUNDEL

fought the fight, the battle won:
lo, our Sun's eclipse is o'er,
lo, he sets in blood no more.
2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened paradise.
3 Lives again our glorious King;
where, O death, is now thy sting?
Dying once, he all doth save;
where thy victory, O grave?
4 Soar we now where Christ has led,
foll'wing our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise;
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
5 Hail the Lord of earth and heav'n!
praise to thee by both be giv'n:
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection thou! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 Languages: English Tune Title: SAVANNAH

Children of the heavenly King
Author: John Cennick Hymnal: Church Book #379 (1890) Topics: Easter Eve Lyrics: 1 Children of the heavenly King,
As ye journey, sweetly sing;
Sing your Saviour's worthy praise,
Glorious in His works and ways.
2 We are travelling home to God,
In the way the fathers trod;
They are happy now, and we
Soon their happiness shall see.
3 O ye banished seed, be glad!
Christ our advocate is made;
Us to save, our flesh assumes;
Brother to our souls becomes.
4 Sing, ye little flock and blest:
You on Jesus' throne shall rest;
There your seat is now prepared
There your kingdom and reward.
5 Fear not, brethren, joyful stand
On the borders of your land;
Jesus Christ, your Father's Son,
Bids you undismayed go on.
6 Lord, obediently we go,
Gladly leaving all below;
Only Thou our Leader be,
And we still will follow Thee. Languages: English Tune Title: BEETHOVEN
