Since Love is Lord of heaven and earth, How can I keep from singing? 2 Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing; It sounds and echoes in my soul; How can I keep from singing? [Refrain] 3 What though the tempest 'round me roar, I hear the truth it liveth. What though the darkness 'round me close, Songs in the night it giveth. [Refrain] 4 When tyrants tremble, sick with fear, And hear their death knells ringing; When friends rejoice both far and near, How can I keep from singing? [Refrain] 5 The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart, A fountain ever springing. All things are mine since I am his; How can I keep from singing?

O Sing a Song of Bethlehem

Author: Louis F. Benson Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 65 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:25 Lyrics: 1 O sing a song of Bethlehem, Of shepherds watching there, And of the news that came to them From angels in the air: The light that shone on Bethlehem Fills all the world today; Of Jesus' birth and peace on earth The angels sing alway. 2 O sing a song of Nazareth, Of sunny days of joy, O sing of fragrant flowers' breath, And of the sinless Boy: For now the flowers of Nazareth In every heart may grow; Now spreads the fame of His dear name On all the winds that blow. 3 O sing a song of Galilee, Of lake and woods and hill, Of Him who walked upon the sea And bade its waves be still: For though, like waves on Galilee, Dark seas of trouble roll, When faith has heard the Master's word, Falls peace upon the soul. 4 O sing a song of Calvary, Its glory and dismay; Of Him who hung upon the tree, And took our sins away: For He who died on Calvary Is risen from the grave, And Christ, our Lord, by heaven adored, Is mighty now to save. Amen. Topics: Christ Life; Christ Ministry; Christ Birth and Infancy; Christ Boyhood; Christ Conqueror; Christ Saviour; Jesus Christ His Life and Ministry Used With Tune: KINGSFOLD

Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-1887 Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Appears in 55 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:25 Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands for our offenses given; but now at God’s right hand he stands and brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us joyful be and sing to God right thankfully loud songs of alleluia! Alleluia! 2 No son of man could conquer death, such ruin sin had wrought us. No innocence was found on earth, and therefore death had brought us into bondage from of old and ever grew more strong and bold and held us as its captive. Alleluia! 3 Christ Jesus, God's own Son, came down, his people to deliver; destroying sin, he took the crown from death's pale brow forever. Stripped of pow'r, no more it reigns; an empty form alone remains; its sting is lost forever. Alleluia! 4 It was a strange and dreadful strife when life and death contended. The victory remained with life, the reign of death was ended. Holy Scripture plainly saith that death is swallowed up by death; disgraced, it lies defeated. Alleluia! 5 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see, whom God so freely gave us; he died on the accursed tree– so strong his love– to save us. See, his blood now marks our door; faith points to it; death passes o'er, and Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia! 6 So let us keep the festival to which the Lord invites us; Christ is himself the joy of all, the sun that warms and lights us. Now his grace to us imparts eternal sunshine to our hearts; the night of sin is ended. Alleluia! 7 Then let us feast this Easter day on Christ, the bread of heaven; the Word of grace has purged away the old and evil leaven. Christ alone our souls will feed; he is our meat and drink indeed; faith lives upon no other! Alleluia! Topics: Easter Used With Tune: CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN

Hymn 43 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 42 hymnals Scripture: Romans 4:25 First Line: Adam, our father and our head Lyrics: Adam, our father and our head, Transgressed, and justice doomed us dead; The fiery law speaks all despair: There's no reprieve nor pardon there. But, O unutterable grace The Son of God takes Adam's place; Down to our world the Savior flies, Stretches his arms, and bleeds, and dies. Justice was pleased to bruise the God, And pay its wrongs with heav'nly blood: What unknown racks and pangs he bore! Then rose; the law could ask no more. Amazing work! look down, ye skies, Wonder and gaze with all your eyes; Ye heav'nly thrones, stoop from above, And bow to this mysterious love. Lo! they adore th' incarnate Son, And sing the glories he hath won; Sing how he broke our iron chains, How deep he suiik, how high he reigns! Triumph and reign, victorious Lord, By all the flaming hosts adored; And say, dear Couqueror, say how long Ere we shall rise to join their song. Send down a chariot from above, With fiery wheels, and paved with love Raise us beyond th' ethereal blue, To sing and love as angels do.
