In the tomb the Saviour lay;
Still He slept, from head to feet
Shrouded in the winding sheet,
Lying in the rock alone,
Hidden by the sealèd stone.
2 Late at even there was seen
Watching long the Magdalene;
Early, ere the break of day,
Sorrowful she took her way
To the holy garden glade,
Where her buried Lord was laid.
3 So with Thee, till life shall end,
I would solemn vigil spend:
Let me hew Thee, Lord, a shrine
In this rocky heart of mine,
Where in pure embalmèd cell
None but Thou may ever dwell.
4 Myrrh and spices will I bring,
True affection's offering;
Close the door from sight and sound
Of the busy world around;
And in patient watch remain
Till my Lord appear again.
Amen.

from earth unto the sky,
our Christ has brought us over,
with hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Christ in rays eternal
of resurrection light,
and, listening to the 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 its song begin,
the round world keep high triumph,
and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen
their notes in gladness blend,
for Christ indeed is risen,
our Joy that has no end. Languages: English Tune Title: ELLACOMBE

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Hymnal: Voices United #165 (1996) Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Topics: Easter Evening Year ABC Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness:
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke
Jacob's sons and daughters,
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 'Tis the spring of souls today,
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days' sleep in death
as a sun has risen;
all the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendour,
with the royal feast of feasts,
comes its joy to render;
comes to gladden faithful hearts,
who with true affection
welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection!
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb's dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold him as a mortal:
for today amid his own
he now stands, bestowing
God's true peace which evermore
passes human knowing. Languages: English Tune Title: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM

Light at evening time.

Light at evening time.

Begyndelse og Ende!
O søde Jesu, lær mig, at

Fra den, som har vel Troens Navn,
Men er dog død og intet.
2 Lær mig at sætte al min Lid

Mod dem, som Synden hader,
Og paa den Helligaand, vor Skat,
Ved dig bestandig Dag og Nat,

Og vise Orden kjende,
At den i dig har ingen Part,
Som vil sig ei omvende;
Men, søde Jesu, vær og bliv
Min Vei, min Sandhed og mit Liv
Paa Troens rette Bane!
4 Lad mig ei tro, hvad Verden tror,
Som Himlens Visdom vrager,
Men lær mig, at jeg af dit Ord
Den rette Mening tager,
Og bliver klippefast derved
Til Livets sidste Stund og Sted,
Dit Ord og Navn til Ære!
5 For al Ting lad din Død og Blod
Mig trøste allevegne,
At jeg mig med et trøstigt Mod
Din Verdskyld kan tilegne,
At leve og at dø derpaa,
Og agte hele Verden saa
Ei værd engang at nævne!
6 Og naar min Tro den findes svag
Blandt mange Stød og Hinder,
Saa hjælp, at som den lyse Dag
Den snart igjen oprinder,
Pust op igjen den rygend' Brand,
Og sæt det knuste Rør istand
Ved Aandens Kraft og Glæde!
7 Hjælp, at jeg vaager Dag og Nat
Mod Satans mange Snarer,
Og ved din Naade Troens Skat
Til sidste Stund bevarer,
At findes reen og uden Stød,
For Gud retsindig til min Død,
Som det dig kan behage!
8 Bo selv ved Troen i min Aand,
At Troen sterk kan blive,
Alt meer og meer saa Overhaand,
Og mange Frygter give,
Og favne dig i sidste Nød!
Saa bliver Troens ende sød,
Og al min Jammer stilles.
9 O Jesu, du som Troens Gnist
Min Sjæl har ladet kjende,
Ak, lad den aldrig blive mist,
Men hjælp den til at brænde!
Hvad du har selv begyndt, fuldfør,
At jeg tilsidst i Troen dør,
Og faar en salig Ende! Languages: Norwegian
O Jesu, Troens dyre Skat

and let our joys be known,
join in a song with sweet accord,
and thus surround the throne.

who never knew our God;
but children of the heavenly King
may speak their joys abroad.

a thousand sacred sweets
before we reach the heavenly fields,

and every tear be dry;

There is a green hill far away
Resting from His work to-day
Hymnal: Hymnal #90 (1871) Topics: Easter Even Lyrics: 1 Resting from His work to-day
In the tomb the Saviour lay;
Still He slept, from head to feet
Shrouded in the winding-sheet,
Lying in the rock alone,
Hidden by the sealèd stone.
2 Late at even there was seen
Watching long the Magdalene;
Early, ere the break of day,
Sorrowful she took her way
To the holy garden glade,
Where her buried Lord was laid.
3 So with Thee, till life shall end,
I would solemn vigil spend:
Let me hew Thee, Lord, a shrine
In this rocky heart of mine,
Where in pure embalmèd cell,
None but Thou may ever dwell.
4 Myrrh and spices will I bring,
True affection's offering;
Close the door from sight and sound
Of the busy world around;
And in patient watch remain
Till my Lord appear again. Languages: English

Beneath the cross of Jesus
Fra Himmelen hid til os ned
Author: Kingo Hymnal: M. B. Landstads Kirkesalmebog og "Nokre Salmar" ved Professor Dr. E. Blix, samt følgende tillæg #401 (1897) Topics: Fourth Sunday after Easter Evening Lyrics: 1 Fra Himmelen hid til os ned
Skal alt vort Gode komme,
Vi selv slet intet kan og veed
At gjøre os til Fromme;
Paa Herren maa
Vi Haabet slaa,
Og fast paa hannem bygge;
Hos ham ei er
Omskiftelser,
Og ei Forandrings Skygge.
2 Han ved sit Ord og Helligaand
Til Livet os gjenfødte,
At vi som Planter af hans Haand
Skal som en Førstegrøde
Med Troens Frugt
Bepryde smukt
Vort Levnet allevegne,
Saa skal hans Kraft
Os give Saft,
Og Naade paa os regne.
3 Gid derfor vi med Fyrighed
Og Hjertens Andagt høre
Guds Ord, som vi tilfulde veed
Os salige kan gjøre!
Gid ogsaa med
Betænksomhed
Om Herrens Ord vi tale,
Og ikke om
Guds Helligdom
Med løse Læber prale!
4 Og om Guds Ord vor Synd og Skyld
Med Straffen heftig rører,
Og trykker paa den giftig' Byld,
Som os vor Død tilfører,
O gid vi da Ei vendes fra
Med Avind, Had og Vrede,
Men at vi maa
Ret kysse paa
Guds Haand, og ham tilbede!
5 Gud, ved din Aand os saa bered,
At daglig vi aftvætter
Vor Ondskabs
Overslødighed
Og Syndens onde Pletter,
Saa hver kan se,
At vi os te
Ny Skabninger at være,
Der for din Stol
Og Aasyns Sol
Vil sees i Himlens Ære! Languages: Norwegian
