The day of resurrection!

Author: St. John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 518 hymnals Lyrics: The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; The Passover of gladness, The Passover of God. From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection-light; And, listening to his accents, May hear so calm and plain His own "All hail," and, hearing, May raise the victor strain. Now let the heavens be joyful, Let earth her song begin, The round world keep high triumph, And all that is therein; Let all things seen and unseen Their notes together blend, For Christ the Lord is risen, Our joy that hath no end.

Come, see the place where Jesus lay

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.6.8.8.6 Appears in 57 hymnals Lyrics: Come, see the place where Jesus lay, And hear angelic watchers say, "He lives, who once was slain: Why seek the living midst the dead? Remember how the Savior said That he would rise again." O joyful sound! O glorious hour, When by his own Almighty power He rose and left the grave! Now let our songs his triumph tell, Who burst the bands of death and hell, And ever lives to save. The First-begotten of the dead, For us he rose, our glorious Head, Immortal life to bring; What though the saints like him shall die, They share their Leader's victory, And triumph with their King. No more they tremble at the grave, For Jesus will their spirits save, And raise their slumbering dust: O risen Lord, in thee we live, To thee our ransomed souls we give, To thee our bodies trust. Amen. Topics: Easter Day Used With Tune: INNSBRUCK

Jesus lives! for us he died, Then, alone to Jesus living, Pure in heart may we abide, Glory to our Savior giving. Jesus lives! our hearts know well Naught from us his love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell Tear us from his keeping ever. Jesus lives! to him the throne Over all the world is given: May we go where he has gone, Rest and reign with him in heaven. Alleluia!

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: Robert Campbell Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath washed us in the tide Flowing from his pierced 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. 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. 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. 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. Topics: Easter Day Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: Latin

Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 539 hymnals Lyrics: Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious; See the "Man of sorrows" now; From the fight returned victorious, Every knee to Him shall bow; Crown Him! Crown Him! Crowns become the Victor's brow. Crown the Savior, angels crown Him; Rich the trophies Jesus brings; On the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings; Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown the Savior King of kings. Sinners in derision crowned Him, Mocking thus Messiah's claim; Saints and angels crowd around Him, Own his title, praise his Name: Crown Him! Crown Him! Spread abroad the Victor's fame! Hark! those bursts of acclamation! Hark! those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O what joy the sight affords! Crown Him! Crown Him! King of kings, and Lord of lords. Topics: The Ascension Day; Processional; Sunday Schools Ascension; Sunday Schools Used With Tune: CORONAE

The head, that once was crown'd with thorns

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 512 hymnals Lyrics: The head, that once was crowned with thorns, Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. The highest place that heaven affords Is His, is His by right, The King of kings, and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light. The joy of all who dwell above; The joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love And grants His Name to know. To them the cross with all its shame, With all its grace is given; Their name, an everlasting name, Their joy, the joy of heaven. They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above, Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love. The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme. Topics: The Ascension Day Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS
