At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: Rpbert Campbell, 1814-1868 Appears in 190 hymnals Topics: Year C Easter 4 Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing praise to our victorious King, who hath washed us in the tide flowing from his piercèd side; praise we him, whose love divine gives his sacred blood for wine, gives his body for the feast, Christ the victim, Christ the priest. 2 Where the paschal blood is poured, death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, paschal victim, paschal bread; with sincerity and love eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty victim from above, conqu'ring by the pow'r of love; thou hast triumphed in the fight, thou hast brought us life and light. Now no more can death appal, now no more the grave enthral: thou hast opened paradise, and in thee thy saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, nothing now can this destroy; from sin's pow'r do thou set free souls new-born, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory and of praise, risen Lord, to thee we raise; holy Father, praise to thee, with the Spirit, ever be. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: 7th century

It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds, and drives away our fear. 2 It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; 'tis manna to the hungry soul, and to the weary, rest. 3 Dear name! the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place, my never-failing treas'ry filled with boundless stores of grace. 4 Jesus! my shepherd, brother, friend, my prophet, priest, and king, my Lord, my life, my way, my end, accept the praise I bring. 5 Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see thee as thou art, I'll praise thee as I ought. 6 Till then I would thy love proclaim with ev'ry fleeting breath; and may the music of thy name refresh my soul in death.

There's a Wideness in God's Mercy

Author: Frederick William Faber Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 925 hymnals Topics: Easter 4 Year A Lyrics: 1 There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea; there's a kindness in God's justice which is more than liberty. 2 There is no place where earth's sorrows are more felt than up in heaven; there is no place where earth's failings have such gracious judgement given. 3 There is plentiful redemption in the blood that Christ has shed; there is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the Head. 4 Troubled souls, why will you scatter like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander from a love so true and deep? 5 For the love of God is broader than the measures of the mind, and the heart of the Eternal is most wonderfully kind.

To Thee alone, dear Lord, I live; Myself to Thee, dear Lord, I give. 2 Oh, grant that nothing in my soul May dwell but Thy pure love alone! Oh, may Thy love possess me whole, My Joy, my Treasure, and my Crown! All coldness from my heart remove; My ev'ry act, word, thought, be love. 3 O Love, how cheering is Thy ray! All pain before Thy presence flies; Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away Where'er Thy healing beams arise. O Jesus, nothing may I see, Nothing desire or seek, but Thee! 4 This love unwearied I pursue And dauntlessly to Thee aspire. Oh, may Thy love my hope renew, Burn in my soul like heav'nly fire! And day and night be all my care To guard this sacred treasure there. 5 Oh, draw me, Savior, e'er to Thee; So shall I run and never tire. With gracious words still comfort me; Be Thou my Hope, my sole Desire. Free me from ev'ry guilt and fear; No sin can harm if Thou art near. 6 Still let Thy love point out my way; What wondrous things Thy love hath wrought! Still lead me lest I go astray; Direct my work, inspire my thought; And if I fall, soon may I hear Thy voice and know that love is near! 7 In suffering be Thy love my peace, In weakness be Thy love my pow'r; And when the storms of life shall cease, O Jesus, in that final hour, Be Thou my Rod and Staff and Guide And draw me safely to Thy side!
