Oh, the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss, Learn of him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary's mournful mountain climb; There, adoring at his feet, Mark that miracle of time-- God's own sacrifice complete; It is finished, hear him cry, Learn of Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb Where they laid his lifeless clay; All is solitude and gloom-- Who hath taken him away? Christ hath risen--he meets our eyes; Saviour, teach us so to rise. Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; Christ an Example in Suffering

Author: Henry W. Longfellow Appears in 116 hymnals Scripture: Zechariah 9:10 Lyrics: 1 I heard the bells on Christmas day Their old familiar carols play, And wild and sweet the words repeat Of peace of earth, goodwill to men. 2 I thought how, as the day had come, The belfries of all Christendom Had rolled along th'unbroken song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men. 3 And in despair I bowed my head: "There is no peace on earth," I said, "For hate is strong, and mocks the song Of peace on earth, goodwill to men." 4 Then pealed the bells more loud and deep: "God is not dead, nor doth He sleep; The wrong shall fail, the right prevail, With peace on earth, goodwill to men." 5 Till, ringing, singing on its way, The world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of peace on earth, goodwill to men!

Oh, speak to us once more, And let thy healing, quickening word Our ruined souls restore! Topics: Christ Life, Office, and Example; Miracles of Christ
