On wings of living light

Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 76 hymnals Topics: Carols; Sunday Schools Carols Lyrics: On wings of living light, At earliest dawn of day, Came down the angel bright, And rolled the stone away. Your voices raise with one accord To bless and praise your risen Lord. The keepers watching near, At that dread sight and sound, Fell down with sudden fear Like dead men to the ground. Then rose from death's dark gloom, Unseen by mortal eye, Triumphant o'er the tomb, The Lord of earth and sky! 521 O let your hearts be strong! For we, like him, shall rise, To dwell with him ere long In bliss beyond the skies. Used With Tune: HAREWOOD

Joy dawned again on Easter-Day

Author: John Mason Neale Appears in 77 hymnals Topics: 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.

We are not divided, All one body we, One in hope and doctrine, One in charity. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 3 Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the Church of Jesus Constant will remain. Gates of hell can never 'Gainst that church prevail; We have Christ's own promise, And that cannot fail. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. 4 Onward, then, ye faithful, Join our happy throng, Blend with ours your voices In the triumph song: Glory, laud, and honor Unto Christ, the King; This thro' countless ages Men and angels sing. Onward, Christian soldiers, Marching as to war, With the cross of Jesus Going on before. Amen. Scripture: Matthew 16:18 Used With Tune: ST. GERTRUDE

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
