For Thy mercy and Thy grace

Author: H. Downton Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 219 hymnals Lyrics: 1 For Thy mercy and Thy grace, Faithful through another year, Hear our song of thankfulness; Jesus, our Redeemer, hear. 2 In our weakness and distress, Rock of strength, be Thou our Stay; In the pathless wilderness Be our true and living Way. 3 Who of us death's awful road In the coming year shall tread. With Thy rod and staff, O God, Comfort Thou his dying bed. 4 Keep us faithful, keep us pure, Keep us evermore Thine own; Help, oh, help us to endure; Fit us for the promised crown. 5 So within Thy palace gate We shall praise, on golden strings, Thee the only Potentate, Lord of lords, and King of kings.

O wondrous type! O vision fair

Author: J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 103 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O wondrous type! O vision fair Of glory that the Church shall share, Which Christ upon the mountain shows Where brighter than the sun He glows! 2 From age to age the tale declare How with the three disciples there, Where Moses and Elias meet, The Lord holds converse high and sweet. 3 With shining face and bright array, Christ deigns to manifest to-day What glory shall be theirs above Who joy in God with perfect love. 4 And faithful hearts are raised on high By this great vision's mystery; For which in joyful strains we raise The voice of prayer, the hymn of praise. 5 O Father, with the eternal Son, And Holy Spirit, ever One, Vouchsafe to bring us by Thy grace To see Thy glory face to face.

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: R. Campbell Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals 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 the sky. Hell's fierce powers beneath Thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light: Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; Thou hast opened Paradise, And in Thee Thy saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, Sin alone can this destroy; From sin's power 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. Amen.

Hearts and voice heavenward raise: Sing to God a hymn of gladness, Sing to God a hymn of praise: He, Who on the cross a victim, For the world's salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of glory, Now is risen from the dead. 2 Now the iron bars are broken, Christ from death to life is born, Glorious life, and life immortal, On this holy Easter morn: Christ has triumphed, and we conquer By His mighty enterprise, We with Him to life eternal By His resurrection rise. 3 Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits Of the holy harvest-field, Which will all its full abundance At His second coming yield: Then the golden ears of harvest Will their heads before Him wave, Ripened by His glorious sunshine From the furrows of the grave. 4 Christ is risen, we are risen! Shed upon us heavenly grace, Rain and dew and gleams of glory From the brightness of Thy face: That, with hearts in heaven dwelling, We on earth may fruitful be, And by angel-hands be gathered, And be ever, Lord, with Thee. 5 Alleluia! Alleluia! Glory be to God on high; Alleluia to the Saviour Who has won the victory; Alleluia to the Spirit, Fount of love and sanctity; Alleluia! Alleluia! To the Triune Majesty. Amen.

Our Lord is risen from the dead

Author: C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 450 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high; The powers of hell are captive led, Dragged to the portals of the sky. 2 There His triumphal chariot waits And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates," Ye everlasting doors, give way. 3 Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the radiant scene; He claims those mansions as His right, Receive the King of glory in. 4 Who is the King of glory, Who? The Lord that all His foes o'ercame, The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the Conqueror's name. 5 Lo! His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates," Ye everlasting doors, give way. 6 Who is the King of glory, Who? The Lord, of boundless power possessed, The King of saints and angels too, God over all, forever blest. Amen. Topics: Ascensiontide; Ascensiontide Used With Tune: DUKE STREET
