His are the thousand sparkling rills

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander, 1818-1895 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #154 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.6 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Good Friday Lyrics: 1 His are the thousand sparkling rills that from a thousand fountains burst, and fill with music all the hills; and yet he saith, 'I thirst.' 2 All fiery pangs on battle-fields, on fever beds where sick men toss, are in that human cry he yields to anguish on the cross. 3 But more than pains that racked him then was the deep longing thirst divine that thirsted for the souls of men; dear Lord! And one was mine. 4 O Love most patient, give me grace; make all my soul athirst for thee; that parched dry lip, that fading face, that thirst, were all for me.

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: Anonymous; Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #164 (2010) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Easter Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing praise to our victorious King, who hath washed us in the tide flowing from his piercèd side; praise we him, whose love divine gives his sacred blood for wine, gives his body for the feast, Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest. 2 Where the Paschal blood is poured, death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, Paschal Victim, Paschal Bread; with sincerity and love eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty Victim from the sky, hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie; thou hast conquered in the fight, thou hast brought us life and light. Now no more can death appal, now no more the grave enthral: thou hast opened paradise, and in thee thy saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, sin alone can this destroy; from sin's power do thou set free souls new-born, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory and of praise, risen Lord, to thee we raise; holy Father, praise to thee, with the Spirit, ever be. Scripture: Exodus 12:13 Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG

There he wins our full salvation, dies that we may die no more; then, arising, lives for ever, reigning where he was before. 4 High on yon celestial mountains stands his gem-built throne, all bright, midst unending alleluias bursting from the sons of light; Sion's people tell his praises, victor after hard-won fight. 5 Bring your harps, and bring your odours, sweep the string and pour the lay; let the earth proclaim his wonders, King of that celestial day; he the Lamb once slain is worthy, who was dead, and lives for aye. 6 Laud and honour to the Father, laud and honour to the Son, laud and honour to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, consubstantial, co-eternal, while unending ages run.

When God of old came down from heaven

Author: John Keble 1792=1866 Hymnal: CPWI Hymnal #206 (2010) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Topics: Hymns for the Church Year Pentecost Lyrics: 1 When God of old came down from heaven, in power and wrath he came; before his feet the clouds were riven, half darkness and half flame: 2 but, when he came the second time, he came in power and love; softer than gale at morning prime hovered his Holy Dove. 3 The fires, that rushed on Sinai down in sudden torrents dread, now gently light, a glorious crown, on every sainted head. 4 And as on Israel’s awe-struck ear the voice exceeding loud, the trump, that angels quake to hear, thrilled from the deep, dark cloud; 5 so, when the Spirit of our God came down his flock to find, a voice from heaven was heard abroad, a rushing, mighty wind. 6 It fills the church of God; it fills the sinful world around; only in stubborn hearts and wills no place for it is found. 7 Come Lord, come wisdom, love, and power, open our ears to hear; let us not miss the accepted hour; save, Lord, by love or fear.
