Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, 8th cent.; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness;
God has brought his people forth
into joy from sadness.
Now rejoice, Jerusalem,
and with true affection
welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
2 Tis the spring of life today!
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days' sleep in death
like the sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying;
welcome now the light of Christ,
give him praise undying.
3 "Alleluia!" now we cry
to our King immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb's dark portal;
"Alleluia!" with the Son,
God the Father praising;
"Alleluia!" yet again
to the Spirit raising.

Hymn 17
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 159 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 First Line: O for an overcoming faith Lyrics:
O for an overcoming faith
To cheer my dying hours;
To triumph o'er the monster Death,
And all his frightful powers!
Joyful with all the strength I have
My quiv'ring lips should sing-
Where is thy boasted vict'ry, Grave?
And where the monster's sting?
If sin be pardoned, I'm secure,
Death hath no sting beside;
The law gives sin its damning power;
But Christ, my ransom, died.
Now to the God of victory
Immortal thanks be paid,
Who makes us conquerors while we die,
Through Christ our living head.

Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands
Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 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 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 says
his death has swallowed up our death;
its sting is lost forever.
Alleluia!
3 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!
4 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!
5 Then let us feast this holy 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!

In the Bulb There Is a Flower
Author: Natalie Sleeth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 25 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:51 Lyrics: 1 In the bulb there is a flower;
in the seed, an apple tree;
in cocoons, a hidden promise:
butterflies will soon be free!
In the cold and snow of winter
there's a spring that waits to be,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
2 There's a song in every silence,
seeking word and melody;
there's a dawn in every darkness
bringing hope to you and me.
From the past will come the future;
what it holds, a mystery,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see.
3 In our end is our beginning;
in our time, infinity;
in our doubt there is believing;
in our life, eternity.
In our death, a resurrection;
at the last, a victory,
unrevealed until its season,
something God alone can see. Topics: The Christian Life Death and Eternal Life; Funerals; Our Death; Eternal Life; Funerals; God Mystery Used With Tune: PROMISE

the clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend:
"Even so"--it is well with my soul. [Refrain] Used With Tune: VILLE DU HAVRE

The Day of Resurrection
Author: John of Damascus, 8th cent.; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 520 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad,
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
from sin's dominion free,
our Christ has brought us over
with hymns of victory.
2 Let hearts be purged of evil
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light,
and, listening to his 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,
let all the world keep triumph
and all that is therein.
Let all things, seen and unseen,
their notes of gladness blend;
for Christ the Lord has risen,
our joy that has no end!
