Awake, My Heart, with Gladness

Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:15 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness, See what today is done; Now, after gloom and sadness, Comes forth the glorious Sun. My Savior there was laid Where our bed must be made When to the realms of light Our spirit wings its flight. 2 The Foe in triumph shouted When Christ lay in the tomb; But, lo, he now is routed, His boast is turned to gloom. For Christ again is free; In glorious victory He who is strong to save Has triumphed o'er the grave. 3 This is a sight that gladdens; What peace it doth impart! Now nothing ever saddens The joy within my heart. No gloom shall ever shake, No foe shall ever take The hope which God's own Son In love for me hath won. 4 Now hell, its prince, the devil, Of all their pow'r are shorn; Now I am safe from evil, And sin I laugh to scorn. Grim Death with all his might Cannot my soul affright; He is a pow'rless form, Howe'er he rave and storm. 5 The world against me rageth, Its fury I disdain; Though bitter war it wageth, Its work is all in vain. My heart from care is free, No trouble troubles me. Misfortune now is play, And night is bright as day. 6 Now I will cling forever To Christ, my Savior true; My Lord will leave me never, Whate'er He passeth through. He rends Death's iron chain, He breaks through sin and pain, He shatters hell's dark thrall,-- I follow Him through all. 7 To halls of heavenly splendor With Him I penetrate; And trouble ne'er may hinder Nor make me hesitate. Let tempests rage at will, My Savior shields me still; He grants abiding peace And bids all tumult cease. 8 He brings me to the portal That leads to bliss untold, Whereon this rime immortal Is found in script of gold: "Who there My cross hath shared Finds here a crown prepared; Who there with Me hath died Shall here be glorified." Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: AUF, AUF, MEIN HERZ

Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 131 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:3 Lyrics: 1. Jesus, priceless Treasure, Source of purest pleasure, Truest friend to me. Long my heart hath panted, Till it almost fainted, Thirsting after Thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb, I will suffer naught to hide Thee, Ask for nought beside Thee. 2. In Thy arms I rest me; Foes who would molest me Cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, Every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Sin and hell in conflict fell, With their heaviest storms assail me: Jesus will not fail me. 3. Satan, I defy thee; Death, I now decry thee; Fear, I bid thee cease. World, thou shalt not harm me Nor thy threats alarm me While I sing of peace. God’s great pow’r guards every hour; Earth and all its depths adore Him, Silent bow before Him. 4. Evil world, I leave thee; Thou shalt not deceive me, Thy appeal is vain. Sin that once did bind me, Get thee far behind me, Come not forth again. Past thy hour, O pride and pow’r; Sinful life, thy bonds I sever, Leave thee now forever. 5. Hence, all earthly treasure! Jesus is my pleasure; Jesus is my choice. Hence, all empty glory! What to me thy story Told with tempting voice? Pain or loss or shame or cross Shall not from my Savior move me, Since He chose to love me. 6. Hence, all thought of sadness! For the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in. Those who love the Father, Though the storms may gather, Still have peace within; Yea, whate’er we here must bear, Still in Thee lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless Treasure!
