Christ Is Risen

Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8.7.7 Appears in 23 hymnals First Line: Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Celebrate this day of days! Christ is risen! Hush in wonder; all creation is amazed. In the desert all-surrounding, see, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of love unknown. 2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a friend. Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim, demonic chorus: “Christ is risen! Get you gone!” God the First and Last is with us. Sing hosanna everyone!

Author: Carl P. Daw, Jr., b. 1944 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 8 hymnals First Line: God's glory fills the heavens with hymns Lyrics: 1 God’s glory fills the heavens with hymns; the domed sky bears the Maker’s mark. New praises sound from day to day and echo through the knowing dark. Without a word their songs roll on; into all lands their voices run. And with a champion’s strength and grace from farthest heaven comes forth the sun. 2 God’s perfect law revives the soul; its precepts make the simple wise. Its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes. Forever shall this law endure: unblemished, righteous, true, complete. No gold we ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet. 3 God’s servant may I ever be: this world my joy, that word my guide. O cleanse me, Lord, from secret sin; deliver me from selfish pride. Acept my thoughts and words and deeds; let them find favor in your sight. For you alone can make me whole, O Lord, my refuge and my might. Topics: Illumination and Guidance; Illumination and Guidance Used With Tune: CREATION

Throughout These Lenten Days and Nights

Sing and shout hosannas! Raise the strain! For Christ, whose death Good Friday brings, on Easter day will live again! Topics: Lent Used With Tune: TALLIS CANON

When the world is tossing me, like a ship upon the sea, Lord, who rules the wind and water, stand by me. 2 In the midst of tribulation, stand by me; in the midst of tribulation, stand by me. When the host of hell assail, and my strength begins to fail, Lord, who never lost a battle, stand by me. 3 In the midst of faults and failures, stand by me; in the midst of faults and failures, stand by me. When I’ve done the best I can, and my friends misunderstand, Lord, who knows all about me, stand by me. 4 In the midst of persecution, stand by me; in the midst of persecution, stand by me. When my foes in war array undertake to stop my way, Lord, who saved Paul and Silas, stand by me. 5 When I’m growing old and feeble, stand by me; when I’m growing old and feeble, stand by me. When my life becomes a burden and I’m nearing chilly Jordan, Lord, the Lily of the Valley, stand by me. Topics: Intercessory Prayers Scripture: Luke 8 Used With Tune: STAND BY ME
