Christ the Lord is Risen Today

Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1,176 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Resurrection and Exaltation Lyrics: 1 'Christ the Lord is risen today', all on earth and angels say; raise your joys and triumphs high; sing, ye heavens, and earth reply. Love's redeeming work is done, 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. Lives again our glorious King; where, O Death, is now thy sting? Once he died, our souls to save; where thy victory, O grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ has led, following our exalted Head; made like him, like him we rise; ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to thee by both be given; thee we greet triumphant now; hail, the Resurrection thou! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Where high the heavenly temple stands

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 204 hymnals Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood Lyrics: 1 Where high the heavenly temple stands, the house of God not made with hands, a great High Priest our nature wears, Jesus, the Son of God, appears. 2 He who for us our surety stood, and poured on earth his precious blood, pursues in heaven his mighty plan, eternal God and Son of Man. 3 Though now ascended up on high, he bends on earth a brother's eye; partaker of the human name, he knows the frailty of our frame. 4 Our fellow-sufferer yet retains a fellow-feeling of our pains; and still remembers in the skies his tears, his agonies and cries. 5 In every pang that rends the heart the Man of Sorrows has a part; he sympathizes with our grief, and to the sufferer sends relief. 6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne, let us make all our sorrows known; and ask the aid of heavenly power to help us in the evil hour.
