The day of Resurrection

Appears in 532 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Easter First Line: The day of Resurrection! Lyrics: 1 The day of Resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad! The Easter day of gladness, The glorious day of God! From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over, With hymns of victory. 2 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. 3 Now let the heavens be joyful! Let earth her song begin! Let all the world keep triumph, And all that is therein! In grateful exultation Their notes let all things blend, For Christ the Lord hath risen, Our Joy that hath no end.

Now Israel's hope in triumph ends

Appears in 8 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Epiphany Lyrics: 1 Now Israel's hope in triumph ends, With angels' glorious song ascends A star of heavenly splendor. O'er Bethlehem it shineth bright, And people walking in its light, Shall come and homage render. Great light, Bright light, Now descendeth, Darkness endeth, Day beginneth, Light to all the world it bringeth. 2 Among us dwells in truth and grace The hidden God, who loves our race; He brought us all salvation. We now behold His majesty, The only Son's true majesty, And bow in adoration. Draw near, And hear, Every nation, Now salvation God bestoweth, And His love and mercy showeth. 3 Rejoice, my soul, and bless His Name Who to the lost and fallen came, To open heaven's portals. Rejoice that God will mercy show, The broken covenant renew With us poor sinful mortals. Now be Glory Ever given God in heaven; Peace unending Be on earth from heaven descending.

O Thou, who by a star didst guide

Appears in 68 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Epiphany Lyrics: 1 O Thou, who by a star didst guide The wise men on their way, Until it came and stood beside The place where Jesus lay; Although by stars Thou dost not lead Thy servants now below, Thy Holy Spirit, when they need, Will show them how to go. 2 As yet we know Thee but in part; But still we trust Thy Word, That blessed are the pure in heart, For they shall see the Lord. O Saviour, give us, then, Thy grace, To make us pure in heart; That we may see Thee face to face Hereafter, as Thou art.

There is a fountain filled with blood

Appears in 2,561 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Lent Lyrics: 1 There is a fountain filled with blood, Drawn from Immanuel's veins; And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, Lose all their guilty stains. 2 The dying thief rejoiced to see That fountain in his day; And there may I, as vile as he, Wash all my sins away. 3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood Shall never lose its power, Till all the ransomed church of God Be saved to sin no more. 4 E'er since, by faith, I saw the stream Thy flowing wounds supply, Redeeming love has been my theme, And shall be till I die. 5 Then in a nobler, sweeter song I'll sing Thy power to save, When this poor lisping, stammering tongue Lies silent in the grave. 6 Lord, I believe Thou hast prepared, Unworthy though I be, For me a blood-bought free reward, A golden harp for me. 7 'Tis strung and tuned for endless years, And formed by power divine To sound in God the Father's ears No other name but Thine.

To realms of glory I behold

Appears in 11 hymnals Topics: The Christian Festivals Ascension Lyrics: 1 To realms of glory I behold My risen Lord returning; While I, a stranger on the earth, For heaven am ever yearning. Far from my heavenly Father's home 'Mid toil and sorrow here I roam. 2 Far from my home--how long, dear Lord, Before my exile endeth? But far beyond the realms of sense My fervent prayer ascendeth: My prayer, unuttered, but a groan, Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne. 3 Then visions of the goodly land By faith my soul obtaineth; There I shall dwell for evermore Where Christ in glory reigneth, In mansions of that blest abode-- The city of the living God. 4 In that blest city is no night, Nor any pain or weeping; There is my treasure and my heart Safe in my Saviour's keeping: In heaven, my blessed Lord, with Thee, May all my conversation be. 5 In glory He shall come again To earth as He ascended; So let me wait and watch and pray, Until my day is ended. That day, O Lord, is hid from me, But daily do I wait for Thee. 6 And blessed shall that servant be, O Lord, at Thy returning, Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee, Whose lamp is trimmed and burning; Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee, In joy and peace eternally.
