Highly Favored Congregation
Author: Samuel T. Benade Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: Luke 24:44-49 Lyrics: 1 Highly favored congregation,
loved by Jesus and esteemed,
ne’er forget thy destination,
why from this vain world redeemed.
2 Grounded on your Savior’s merit,
blessed in his communion sweet,
destined heaven to inherit,
and the church above to meet.
3 Witness here to all around you
of your Savior’s dying love;
tell them how he sought and found you,
gave you grace from heav'n above.
4 Evidence by word and action
that your faith is not in vain,
that your highest satisfaction
centers in the Lamb once slain.
5 By love’s closest bonds united,
as the Lord’s own family,
be to serve his name excited,
be to him a fruitful tree. Topics: Nature of the Church; Church--Community in Christ; Church--Foundation and nature; Discipleship Used With Tune: BATTY

His Battle Ended There
Author: Tom Colvin, 1925-2000 Meter: 11.11.10.8.8 Appears in 6 hymnals First Line: His battle ended there, death was overcome Scripture: Luke 24:1-10 Lyrics: 1 His battle ended there, death was overcome.
Jesus, alive again, wore the Victor's crown.
Clearly sin had failed, goodness had prevailed,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.
2 Dread powers of death and sin had him in their hold.
When Jesus rose again all their plans were foiled.
Jesus lived again, triumphed over sin,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.
3 Dead in the grave he lay, mourned by every friend.
Those dark and fearful days then did reach their end.
God raised him to life, victor in the strife,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.
4 He burst the chains of sin, opened death's dark jail.
God filled him with new life, life that could not fail.
Right before their eyes Jesus did arise,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia.
5 Lord, by the pains you bore in your darkest hour,
free us from fear of death, and from all sin's power.
May we with you live, to you ourselves give,
Alleluia, alleluia; Alleluia, alleluia. Used With Tune: NCHEU Text Sources: African Chewa hymn
