Joy dawned again on Easter-Day

Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics: Joy dawned again on Easter-Day, The sun shone out with fairer ray, When, to their longing eyes restored, The apostles saw their risen Lord. His risen flesh with radiance glowed; His wounded hands and feet he showed: Those scars their silent witness gave That Christ was risen from the grave. O Jesus, King of gentleness, Do thou our inmost hearts possess; And we to thee will ever raise The tribute of our grateful praise. Jesus, who art the Lord of all, In this our Easter festival, From every weapon death can wield Thine own redeemed, thy people, shield. All praise, O risen Lord, we give To thee, who, dead, again dost live; To God the Father equal praise, And God the Holy Ghost, we raise. Amen. Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS Text Sources: Latin

He gently knocks, has knocked before, Has waited long, is waiting still; You treat no other friend so ill. 2 But will He prove a friend indeed? He will; the very Friend you need; The Friend of sinners--yes, 'tis He, With garments dyed on Calvary. 3 O lovely attitude! He stands With melting heart and laden hands; O matchless kindness! and He shows This matchless kindness to His foes. 4 Admit Him ere His anger burn; His feet, departing, ne'er return; Admit Him, or the hour's at hand When at His door denied you'll stand. 5 Oh, let the heavenly Stranger in, Let in thy heart His reign begin. Admit Him, open wide the door, And He will bless thee evermore. Amen. Scripture: Revelation 3:20 Used With Tune: HAMBURG

I lay my griefs on Jesus, My burdens and my cares; He from them all releases, He all my sorrows shares. 3 I rest my soul on Jesus, This weary soul of mine; His right hand me embraces, I on His breast recline.
