The day hath dawned—the day of days

Author: Nikolas Hermann; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 The day hath dawned—the day of days, Transcending all our joy and praise: This day our Lord triumphant rose; This day He captive led our foes. 2 The serpent’s craft, sin, death and hell, This day before the Conqueror fell: All suffering, sorrow, ill, the name Of Jesus risen this day o’ercame. 3 The sun, the earth, all things adore, As at His death they mourned before: All own with joy upon this day The foe’s dominion passed away. 4 Then, as is meet, we now will sing Glad hallelujahs to our king: To Thee, Lord, doth our praise pertain, Who for our joy art risen again.

For the redeeming agony You suffered there on Calvary, For blood You shed and tears You cried, I love You, Christ my crucified. 2. O for Your bruised and bludgeoned frame That bore my every sin and shame Which You for me did take and die, I love You, Christ my crucified. 3. Yes, for the faithful love You showed, Which with abundant grace once flowed Out of Your opened hands and side, I love You, Christ my crucified. 4. That You, my King, would suffer scorn Beneath a crown of twisted thorn, Then in this rebel’s grave go lie, I love You, Christ my crucified. 5. And hearing how You left the grave Alive and ever strong to save, And then ascended as the sun, I love You, Christ my risen one. 6. O when I see you, risen King, I’ll do none else but fall to sing And with my all let this strain rise: I love You, Christ my glorified. Used With Tune: GERMANY

Why Do the Proud Insult the Poor?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 29 hymnals First Line: Why do the proud insult the poor Lyrics: 1. Why do the proud insult the poor, And boast the large estates they have? How vain are riches to secure Their haughty owners from the grave! 2. They can’t redeem one hour from death, With all the wealth in which they trust; Nor give a dying brother breath, When God commands him down to dust. 3. There the dark earth and dismal shade Shall clasp their naked bodies round; That flesh, so delicately fed, Lies cold and molders in the ground. 4. Like thoughtless sheep the sinner dies, Laid in the grave for worms to eat; The saints shall in the morning rise, And find th’oppressor at their feet. 5. His honors perish in the dust, And pomp and beauty, birth and blood: That glorious day exalts the just To full dominion o’er the proud. 6. My Savior shall my life restore, And raise me from my dark abode; My flesh and soul shall part no more, But dwell for ever near my God.

Heber Appears in 14 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Thou, Who gav'st Thy servant grace On Thee the living Rock to rest, To look on Thine unveiled face, And lean on Thy protecting breast; 2 Grant us, O King of mercy, still To feel Thy presence from above, And in Thy word and in Thy will To hear Thy voice and know Thy love; 3 And when the toils of life are done, And nature waits Thy just decree, To find our rest beneath Thy throne, And look in certain hope to Thee. 4 To Thee, O Jesus, Light of Light, Whom as their King the saints adore, Thou strength and refuge in the fight, Be laud and glory evermore.

This Blessèd Night

Author: D. A. Sandy Coverett Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: This blessèd night we seek Your throne Lyrics: 1. This blessèd night we seek Your throne In awe and wonder at that birth: The Child of Bethlehem who brought God’s grace and love back down to earth. 2. Joseph and Mary, chosen ones, As parents to Your only Son, In faith they trudged those weary miles In order that Your will be done. 3. Then shepherds, high in fields above The manger in a lowly shed, Heard angel messengers sing out Their Peace on Earth, good will to men. 4. Wrapped round in cloths they found the Babe Lying at rest upon the hay. It was for us this Child was born And brought to us God’s bright new day. 5. Eternal hope for all mankind! The price of sin You chose to pay! O Babe of Heaven, we sing Your praise And at Your feet our hearts we lay! 6. O grant us now, dear Lord, we pray, That we might serve You as we ought. Teach us to yield our wills to Yours And live in peace as we’ve been taught. Used With Tune: GERMANY
