Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands

Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie Hymnal: LHTC1918 #110 (1917) 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; Wherefore 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; Stripped of power, no more he reigns; An empty form alone remains; His sting is lost fore ever! Alleluia! 3 So let us keep the festival Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the joy of all, The Sun that warms and lights us; Now His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended! Alleluia! 4 Then let us feast this Easter day On the true Bread of heaven; The Word of grace hath purged away The old and wicked leaven: Christ alone our souls will feed; He is our meat and drink indeed; Faith lives upon no other! Alleluia! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN

Christ, the Lord, is risen to-day

Author: Charles Wesley Hymnal: LHTC1918 #111 (1917) Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Lord, is risen to-day, Sons of men and angels say; Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply. Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! the Sun's eclipse is o'er; Lo! He sets in blood no more. 2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ hath burst the gates of hell! Death in vain forbids His rise; Christ hath opened Paradise. Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now Thy sting? Once He died our souls to save; Where thy victory, O grave? 3 Soar we now where Christ hath led, Following our exalted Head: Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to Thee by both be given; Thee we greet triumphant now: Hail, the Resurrection Thou! Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English Tune Title: ST.

From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. 2 Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection-light And, list'ning 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; In grateful exultation Their notes of gladness blend, For Christ the Lord has risen, Our Joy that hath no end! Amen.

Lo! the Dead is living, God for evermore! Him, their true Creator, all His works adore.

Hell to-day is vanquished; heaven is won to-day! 3 Thou, of life the Author, death didst undergo, Tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show; Come then, True and Faithful, now fulfill Thy word; 'Tis Thine own third morning: rise, O buried Lord!
