The day of Resurrection!

Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #480 (1908) Topics: Easter Day Lyrics: 1 The day of Resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; The passover of gladness, The passover of God. From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over, With hymns of victory. 2 Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light: And listening to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain, His own "All hail!"--and hearing, May raise the victor strain. 3 Now let the heavens be joyful! Let earth the song begin! Let all the world keep triumph, And all that is therein: In grateful exultation Their notes let all things blend, For Christ the Lord hath risen, Our joy that hath no end.

O death, where is thy cruel sting?

Author: Georg Weissel; Justus Gesenius Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #80 (1908) Topics: Easter Day Lyrics: 1 O death! where is thy cruel sting? O grave! where is thy power? What harm to us can Satan bring Though threatening to devour? Thanks be to God! of glorious might, Who conquered for us in this fight Through Jesus Christ our Captain. 2 How fiercely the arch-serpent raged, When Christ his might contested? Yet Christ, though all hell's hosts engaged, Their prowess from them wrested. And though the serpent pricked His heel, Yet was he made its weight to feel; His hear is bruised forever. 3 And now Christ comes to life again, And breaks death's chain asunder; He binds the foe, takes hell amain, And wrests from him his plunder. No power an stay the Victor's march, He enters the triumphal arch:-- All must succumb before Him. 4 A death to death, to hell a pest, Christ is become by dying; Still Satan rages without rest With murd'rous will and lying. And since he cannot come with might, He turns accuser, day and night; But judged, he stands rejected. 5 The Lord's right hand, His holy arm, The victory retaineth; No might of foes can Him disarm, The glory His remaineth. Now sin and Satan, death and hell, Are ousted from their citadel; Their wrath is fierce, yet pow'rless. 6 The Christ of God, God's Son was dead; But lo, He ever liveth! As He arose, our living Head, So life to us He giveth. Now, who believes on Jesus' Word From death and grave shall be restored, And live, e'en though he dieth. 7 He who with Christ arises here By faith and daily sorrow, The second death need never fear: Heaven's his eternal morrow. Death's swallowed up in victory And life and immortality Are brought to light by Jesus. 8 Forgiveness, peace, joy, righteousness, On earth and there in heaven-- These are the Easter-spoils that bless The hearts to Jesus given. So we, His heirs, wait patiently Until our bodies fashioned by Like His own glorious body. 9 The ancient dragon, with his brood, Is hurled to degradation; They lay a mock, with scorn subdued, When Christ rose with salvation. The gain of our triumphant Head Is ours, His members; hence we dread No more the serpent's power. 10 O Death! where is thy cruel sting? O grave! where is thy power? What harm to us can Satan bring Though threatening to devour? Thanks be to God! of glorious might, Who conquered for us in this fight Through Jesus Christ our Captain.

Christians, on this happy day, Haste with joy your vows to pay; Christ is ris'n to-day, 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 power, Lives and reigns for evermore.

Say, my soul, what preparation

Author: Carl Johann Philipp Spitta, D. D.; Richard Massie Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #87 (1908) Topics: Easter Day Lyrics: 1 Say, my soul, what preparation Makest thou for this high day, When the God of thy salvation Opened through the tomb a way? Dwellest thou with pure affection On this proof of pow'r and love? Doth thy Savior's resurrection Raise thy thoughts to things above? 2 Hast thou, borne on faith's strong pinion, Risen with the risen Lord? And, released from sin's dominion, Into purer regions soared? Or art thou, in spite of warning, Dead in trespasses and sin? Hath to thee the purple morning No true Easter ushered in? 3 Let no precious time be wasted, To new life arise at length: He who death for thee hath tasted, For new life will give thee strength; In Him rise, at once bestir thee, Still pass on and persevere, Let no weariness deter thee, He who woke thee still is near. 4 See! thy Lord Himself is risen, That thou mightest also rise, And emerge from sin's dark prison To new life and open skies. Come to Him who can unbind thee, And reverse thy awful doom; Come to Him, and leave behind thee Thy old life--an empty tomb! Languages: English Tune Title: RIPLEY

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Hymnal: The Hymnal #179 (1916) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Topics: Easter Day Lyrics: He is risen, he is risen, Tell it out with joyful voice: He has burst his three days' prison; Let the whole wide earth rejoice: Death is conquered, man is free, Christ has won the victory. Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted, With glad smile and radiant brow: Lent's long shadows have departed; All his woes are over now, And the passion that he bore: Sin and pain can vex no more. Come, with high and holy hymning, Chant our Lord's triumphant lay; Not one darksome cloud is dimming Yonder glorious morning ray, Breaking o'er the purple east, Symbol of our Easter feast. He is risen, he is risen; He hath opened heaven's gate: We are free from sin's dark prison, Risen to a holier state; And a brighter Easter beam On our longing eyes shall stream.

I Døden Jesus blunded

Author: S. Jonassøn; G. Werner Hymnal: M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg #345 (1897) Topics: First Easter Day High Mass; First Easter Day High Mass Lyrics: 1 I Døden Jesus blunded, I Graven lagdes ned, Har nu dog overvundet Al Dødens Bitterhed. Nu rinder op saa klar Den Sol med Lys og Glæde, Som i sit Jordeklæde Saa fuldt formørket var. 2 Af Gravens Sted hint mørke Opstod vor Sjæleven, Og ved Guds Engles Styrke Blev Stenen veltet hen. Ser, I Blodtørstige, Som Jesum før ombragte, Som ham paa Korset strakte, Ser Jesum levende! 3 Med Lov vor Mund udbryder Om Jesu Herlighed, Det hele Land sig fryder, Fordi hans Ord er sket. Sit Løfte holdt han vist, Thi synger alle Munde Af dybe Hjertens Grunde: Tak ske dig, Herre Krist! 4 Alt det, du vilde lide, Din Død, dit Blod, din Sved, Din Sjæleangst og Kvide Var for vor Salighed. Vi Seier fik ved dig; Thi ville vi nu møde For dig og sammenstøde Med helligt Seier-Skrig. 5 O mægtig Seierherre, Som Fiendens hele Magt, Dit store Navn til Ære, Har under Fodder lagt: Lær os at kjæmpe saa, At, naar vor Strid har Ende, Vi Palmer kan i Hænde Og Seiers Krone faa!

Welcome, thou Victor in the strife

Author: Catherine Winkworth; Benjamin Schmolck Hymnal: Evangelical Lutheran hymnal #88 (1908) Topics: Easter Day Lyrics: 1 Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife, Now welcome from the cave! To-day we triumph in Thy life Around Thy empty grave. 2 The dwellings of the just resound With songs of victory; For in their midst, Lord, Thou art found, And brightest peace with Thee. 3 Impart to us the spoils, we pray, Thou didst for us achieve; We meet within Thy house to-day Our portion to receive. 4 We die with Thee: O let us live Henceforth to Thee aright; The blessings Thou hast died to give, Be daily in our sight. 5 Fearless we lay us in the tomb, And sleep the night away, If Thou art there to break the gloom, And call us back to day. 6 Death hurts us not; his power is gone, And pointless are his darts; Now hath God's favor on us shone, And joy fills all our hearts.
