Throughout these Lenten days and nights

Author: James Gertmenian, 1947- Appears in 5 hymnals Topics: Jesus Christ Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 Throughout these Lenten days and nights we turn to walk the inward way, where, meeting Christ, our guide and light, we live in hope till Easter day. 2 The pilgrim Christ, the Lamb of God, who found in weakness greater power, embraces us, though lost and flawed, and leads us to his rising hour. 3 We bear the silence, cross and pain of human burdens, human strife, while sisters, brothers help sustain our courage till the feast of life. 4 And though the road is hard and steep, the Spirit ever calls us on through Calvary’s dying, dark and deep, until we see the coming dawn. 5 So let us choose the path of one who wore, for us, the crown of thorn, and slept in death, that we might wake to life on Resurrection Morn! 6 Rejoice, O sons and daughters! Sing and shout hosannas! Raise the strain! For Christ, whose death Good Friday brings, on Easter day will live again! Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 Used With Tune: BRESLAU

How bright these glorious spirits shine!

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 158 hymnals Topics: Christ Lamb of God Lyrics: 1 How bright these glorious spirits shine! Whence all their white array? How came they to the blissful seats Of everlasting day? Lo! these are they from suff'rings great Who came to realms of light, And in the blood of Christ have washed Those robes which shine so bright. 2 Now, with triumphal palms, they stand Before the throne on high, And serve the God they love, amidst The glories of the sky. His presence fills each heart with joy, Tunes ev'ry mouth to sing: By day, by night, the sacred courts With glad hosannas ring. 3 Hunger and thirst are felt no more, Nor suns with scorching ray; God is their Sun, whose cheering beams Diffuse eternal day. The Lamb which dwells amidst the throne Shall o'er them still preside, Feed them with nourishment divine, And all their footsteps guide. 4 'Mong pastures green he'll lead his flock Where living streams appear; And God the Lord from ev'ry eye Shall wipe off ev'ry tear. To him who sits upon the throne, The God whom we adore, And to the Lamb that once was slain, Be glory evermore! Amen.
