All Depends on Our Possessing

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing God's free grace and constant blessing, though all earthly wealth depart. They who trust with faith unshaken by their God are not forsaken and will keep a dauntless heart. 2 God, who hitherto has fed me and to many joys has led me, is and ever shall be mine. God, who did so gently school me and who daily guides and rules me, will remain my help divine. 3 When with sorrow I am stricken, hope my heart anew will quicken, all my longing shall be stilled. To your loving-kindness tender all my being I surrender; Lord, on you alone I build. 4 Well you know what best to grant me; all the longing hopes that haunt me, joy and sorrow, have their day. I shall doubt your wisdom never; as you will, so be it ever; I commit to you my way. 5 If on earth my days should lengthen, God, my weary soul will strengthen; all my trust in you I place. Earthly wealth is not abiding; like a stream away it's gliding; safe I anchor in your grace.

Easter Morning

Author: Myra G. Plantz, 1856-1914 Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: From the sea the mist floats slowly Lyrics: 1. From the sea the mist floats slowly, While night’s tapers, faint and holy, Fade beyond the dawning gray; Birds within the nest are waking; Far above the East is breaking, Promise of returning day. 2. Seraphim who saw unfolding Earth’s first morn are now beholding That which will all ages thrill— They who sang in heavenly places At His birth, and hid their faces From His shame, with awe are still. 3. For behold where they have laid Him— Empty is the tomb they made Him— Death lies conquered at His feet. See, He waits to greet the morning, Fairest thing the earth adorning, All love’s sacrifice complete. 4. Miracle of love that giveth Life from death, because He liveth; O, the crown of victory; That, while angels fall before Him, Human hearts can best adore Him! He is risen, soul, for thee!

From the Cross The Blood Is Falling

Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 28 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From the cross the blood is falling, And to us a voice is calling, Like a trumpet silver-clear. ’Tis the voice announcing pardon, It is finished is its burden, Pardon to the far and near. 2 Peace that precious blood is sealing, All our wounds for ever healing, And removing every load; Words of peace that voice has spoken, Peace that shall no more be broken, Peace between the soul and God. 3 Love its fullness there unfolding, Stand we here in joy beholding, To the exiled sons of men; Love the gladness past all naming, Of an open Heaven proclaiming, Love that bids us enter in. 4 God is love—we read the writing Traced so deeply in the smiting Of the glorious Surety there. God is light—we see it beaming Like a heavenly dayspring gleaming So divinely sweet and fair. 5 Cross of shame, yet tree of glory, Round thee winds the one great story Of this ever-changing earth; Center of the true and holy, Grave of human sin and folly, Womb of nature’s second birth.
