Lift up, lift up your voices now!

Author: Anon. Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 120 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lift up, lift up your voices now! The whole wide world rejoices now: The Lord hath triumphed gloriously. The Lord shall reign victoriously! 2 In vain with stone the cave they barred; In vain the watch kept ward and guard; Majestic from the spoilèd tomb, In pomp of triumph Christ is come! 3 He binds in chains the ancient foe; A countless host He frees from woe, And heaven's high portal open flies, For Christ has risen, and man shall rise. 4 And all He did, and all He bare, He gives us as our own to share; And hope and joy and peace begin, For Christ has won, and man shall win. 5 O Victor, aid us in the fight, And lead through death to realms of light; We safely pass where Thou hast trod; In Thee we die to rise to God. 6 Thy flock, from sin and death set free, Glad Alleluias raise to Thee; And ever with the heavenly host Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Topics: Eastertide; Burial of the Dead; Burial of the Dead; Eastertide Used With Tune: LEIPSIC

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals First Line: Salvation is for ever nigh Lyrics: 1. Salvation is for ever nigh The souls that fear and trust the Lord And grace descending from on high Fresh hopes of glory shall afford. 2. Mercy and truth on earth are met Since Christ the Lord came down from Heav’n; By His obedience so complete, Justice is pleased, and peace is giv’n. 3. Now truth and honor shall abound, Religion dwell on earth again, And heav’nly influence bless the ground In our Redeemer’s gentle reign. 4. His righteousness is gone before To give us free access to God; Our wand’ring feet shall stray no more, But mark His steps and keep the road.

The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a Shepherd's care

Author: Joseph Addison Appears in 559 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord my pasture shall prepare, And feed me with a Shepherd's care; His Presence shall my wants supply, And guard me with a watchful Eye. My noonday walks He shall attend, And all my midnight hours defend. 2 When in the sultry glebe I faint, Or on the thirsty mountain pant, To fertile vales and dewy meads, My weary, wandering steps He leads; Where peaceful rivers soft and slow, Amid the verdant landskips flow. 3 Though in the paths of death I tread, With gloomy horrors overspread, My steadfast heart shall fear no ill, For Thou, O Lord, art with me still; Thy friendly crook shall give me aid, And guide me through the dreadful shade, 4 Though in a bare and rugged way, Through devious, lonely wilds I stray. Thy bounty shall my pains beguile, The barren wilderness shall smile, With sudden greens and herbage crown'd, And streams shall murmur all around. Amen. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: Wismar

Do We Not Know That Solemn Word?

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 53 hymnals First Line: Do we not know that solemn word Lyrics: 1 Do we not know that solemn word, That we are buried with the Lord, Baptized into His death, and then Put off the body of our sin? 2 Our souls receive diviner breath Raised from corruption, guilt, and death; So from the grave did Christ arise, And lives to God above the skies. 3 Nor more let sin or Satan reign Over our mortal flesh again; The various lusts we served before Shall have dominion now no more.
