Christ The Lord Is Risen Today
Author: Jane E. Leeson Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 87 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Easter First Line: Christ the Lord is ris'n today Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is ris'n today,
Christians, haste your vows to pay;
Offer ye your praises meet
At the Paschal Victim's feet.
For the sheep the Lamb hath bled,
Sinless in the sinner's stead;
Christ is ris'n today, we cry:
Now He lives, no more to die.
2 Christ, the Victim undefiled,
Man to God hath reconciled,
When, in strange and awful strife,
Met together death and life.
Christians, on this happy day,
Haste with joy your vows to pay;
Christ is ris'n today, we cry:
Now He lives, no more to die.
3 Christ, who once for sinners bled,
Now the first-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and pow'r,
Lives and reigns for evermore.
Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, Thou King of victory!
Hail, Thou Prince of life adored!
Help and save us, gracious Lord!
Amen.

In His Temple Now Behold Him

See the long-expected Lord;
Ancient prophets had foretold Him,
God has now fulfilled His Word;
Now to praise Him, His redeemed
Shall break forth with one accord.
2 In the arms of her who bore Him,
Virgin pure, behold Him lie,
While His aged saints adore Him,
Ere in perfect faith they die.
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Lo, th'incarnate God most high!
3 Jesus, by Thy presentation,
Thou who cam'st in lowly mien,
Make us see our great salvation,
Make our hearts all pure within;
O present us in Thy glory
To Thy Father, pure and clean.

To tell to all the world that God is Light,

One soul should perish, lost in shades of night.

Tidings of Jesus,
Redemption and release. A-men.

Bound in the darksome prison-house of sin,
With none to tell them of the Savior's dying,
Or of the life He died for them to win. [Refrain]

Give of thy wealth to speed them on their way;
Pour out thy soul for them in prayer victorious;
And all thou spendest, Jesus will repay. [Refrain] Used With Tune: ANGELIC SONGS
O Zion, Haste, Thy Mission High Fulfilling
Hasten The Time Appointed
Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 58 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Missions Lyrics: 1 Hasten the time appointed,
By prophets long foretold,
When all shall dwell together,
One Shepherd and one fold.
Let ev'ry idol perish,
To moles and bats be thrown,
And ev'ry prayer be offered
To God in Christ alone.
2 Let Jew and Gentile, meeting
From many a distant shore,
Around one altar kneeling,
One common Lord adore.
Let all that now divides us
Remove and pass away,
Like shadows of the morning
Before the blaze of day.
3 O long-expected dawning,
Come with thy cheering ray!
When shall the morning brighten,
The shadows flee away?
O sweet anticipation!
It cheers the watchers on,
To pray, and hope, and labor
Until dark night be gone.
Amen. Used With Tune: UNITY

The land of souls free-born!
No gloomy night is known there,
But aye the fade-less morn:
I’m sighing for that Country,
My heart is aching here;
There is no pain in the Homeland,
To which I'm drawing near.
2 My Lord is in the Homeland,
With angels bright and fair;
No sinful thing nor evil
Can ever enter there;
The music of the ransomed
Is ringing in my ears,
And when I think of the Homeland,
My eyes are wet with tears.
3 For loved ones in the Homeland
Are waiting me to come
Where neither death nor sorrow
Invade their holy home:
O dear, dear native Country!
O rest and peace above!
Christ bring us all to the Homeland
Of His eternal love.
Amen.

And peace I can abide.

What doubts and fears within!
The grace that sought and found me,
Alone can keep me clean.

I feel my life secure;
Only in Thee abiding,
The conflict can endure;
Thine arm the vict'ry gaineth
O'er ev'ry hateful foe;
Thy love my heart sustaineth
In all its care and woe.

With rapture, face to face;
One half hath not been told me
Of all Thy pow'r and grace:
Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
The wonders of Thy love,
Shall be the endless story
Of all Thy saints above.

Author: Edward Caswall; Fortunatus Venantius Meter: 8.7.7.8.7.7 Appears in 41 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals Lent Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the Savior's battle,
Tell His triumph far and wide;
Tell aloud the wondrous story
Of His body crucified;
How upon the cross a victim,
Vanquishing in death, He died.

See the thorns upon His brow;
Nails His tender flesh are rending;
See, His side is pierced now;
Whence, to cleanse the whole creation,
Streams of blood and water flow.
3 Christ, to Thee with God the Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving,
And unwearied praises be:
Honor, glory and dominion
And eternal victory.

God Of Our Fathers, Whose Almighty Hand
I Know Whom I Believe In
Author: Ernst Moritz Arndt Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 9 hymnals Topics: Processionals and Recessionals General Lyrics: 1 I know whom I believe in,
I know what firm abides,
When all around me fading
Away like vapor glides.
I know what lasts forever,
When all things shake and fall,
When wit the wise forsaketh,
And craft doth craft forestall.
2 It is the Light of Glory;
It is my Jesus, King;
It is the Rock I stand on;
It is of this I sing.
He nevermore shall fail me,
Deliv'rer, Shepherd mine,
He lighteth all my darkness,
He makes my path to shine.
3 He whom blood-stained they buried
In the still twilight hour,
He whom God waked from slumber,
He who arose in pow''r:
He for my guilt atoneth,
To me His Spirit gives,
Me with His grace He crowneth:
I live because He lives.
4 I know what I believe in,
I know what standeth fast,
And what, when earth shall crumble,
Uncrumbled, still shall last;
Thro' sorrow it bides with me,
Mine when to death I bow,
In heav'n it will assure me
A crown to deck my brow.
Amen. Used With Tune: WEBB
