Jesus Christ, my sure defence
Hymnal: Christian Hymns #180 (1898) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Topics: Christ Defender and Helper; Following Christ Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defence
And my Saviour, ever liveth;
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope it giveth,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought.
2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives!
I, too, unto life shall waken;
He will have me where He is:
Should my courage then be shaken?
Should I fear? Or can the Head
Rise and leave its members dead?
3 Nay, too closely am I bound
Unto Him by hope forever;
Faith's strong hand the Rock hath found,
Grasped it, and will leave it never:
Not the ban of death can part
From its Lord the trusting heart.
4 I shall see God with these eyes,
Shall behold my blessed Savior;
I, the selfsame, shall arise,
In my flesh see God forever;
Then shall wholly disappear
Frailties that oppress me here.
5 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs,
Christ with Him to glory bringeth;
Earthly is the seed and dies,
Heavenly from the grave it springeth;
Natural is the death we die,
Spiritual, our life on high.
6 Saviour, draw away our heart
From all pleasures base and hollow;
Let us there with Thee have part,
Here on earth Thy footsteps follow;
Fix our hearts beyond the skies,
Whither we ourselves would rise.

On the clouds of heaven shall shine,
We thy flock shall stand before thee,
Owned for evermore as thine.

Weakens our Strength amidst the Race;

Nor let our Sun go down at Noon;
Thy Years are one eternal Day,
And must thy Children die so soon?

This Thought our Sorrow should asswage;
"Our Father and our Saviour live;
"Christ is the same through ev'ry Age."

Heav'n is the Building of his Hand;
This Earth grows old, these Heav'ns shall fade,

Like Garments shall be laid aside;
But still thy Throne stands firm on high;
Thy Church for ever must abide.
6 Before thy Face thy Church shall live,
And on thy Throne thy Children reign;
This dying World shall they survive,
And the dead Saints be rais'd again. Scripture: Psalm 102:23-28 Languages: English

This the wondrous thrilling story--
Christ is coming, Christ my King.

Stealing down the paths of time;
And the future, dark with shadows,
Brightens with this hope sublime.
Sound the soul inspiring anthem;
Angel hosts, your harps attune;
Earth’s long night is almost over--
Christ is coming, coming soon.
Earth’s long night is almost over--
Christ is coming, coming soon.

Waited for the first bright ray
Of the morn when sin and sorrow
At Thy presence flee away.
But our vigil’s nearly over;
Hope of heav’n, O priceless boon!
In the east the glow appearing--
Christ is coming, coming soon.
In the east the glow appearing,--
Christ is coming, coming soon.

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!

knowing weakness, tears, and pain;
who, like us, was tried and tempted;
unlike us, without a stain;
since he shared our lowly place,
let us boldly seek his grace!

now he sits at God's right hand,
crowned with praise, no more an outcast,
his preeminence long planned;
such a great high priest we have,
strong to help, supreme to save!

faith's beginning and its end,
pioneer of our salvation,
mighty advocate and friend:
