O tidings of comfort and joy
On wings of living light
Author: W. Walsham How Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 77 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.

On wings of living light
Joy dawned again on Easter-Day
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 76 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.

I Lay My Sins on Jesus
Author: Horatius Bonar Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 562 hymnals Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Lyrics: 1 I lay my sins on Jesus,
The spotless Lamb of God;
He bears them all and frees us
From the accursed load.
I bring my guilt to Jesus
To wash my crimson stains
White in His blood most precious
Till not a spot remains.
2 I lay my wants on Jesus,
All fulness dwells in Him;
He healeth my diseases,
He doth my soul redeem.
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.
I love the name of Jesus,
Immanuel, Christ, the Lord;
Like fragrance on the breezes
His name abroad is poured.
4 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy Child.
I long to be with Jesus
Amid the heav'nly throng
To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels' song.
Amen.

Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me
Author: Edward Hopper Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 1,215 hymnals Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Savior, pilot me
Over life’s tempestuous sea;
Unknown waves before me roll,
Hiding rock and treach'rous shoal.
Chart and compass come from Thee:
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
2 As a mother stills her child,
Thou canst hush the ocean wild;
Boist'rous waves obey Thy will
When Thou say'st to them, "Be still!"
Wondrous Sov'reign of the sea,
Jesus, Savior, pilot me.
3 When at last I near the shore,
And the fearful breakers roar
’Twixt me and the peaceful rest,
Then, while leaning on Thy breast,
May I hear Thee say to me,
"Fear not, I will pilot thee."
Amen. Scripture: Matthew 8:26 Used With Tune: PILOT

Now the Day Is Over
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 973 hymnals Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Lyrics: 1 Now the day is over,
Night is drawing nigh;
Shadows of the evening
Steal across the sky.
2 Now the darkness gathers,
Stars begin to peep,
Birds and beasts and flowers
Soon will be asleep.
3 Jesus, give the weary
Calm and sweet repose;
With Thy tend'rest blessing
May mine eyelids close.
4 Grant to little children
Visions bright of Thee;
Guard the sailors tossing
On the deep blue sea.
5 Comfort every sufferer
Watching late in pain;
Those who plan some evil
From their sins restrain.
6 Through the long night watches,
May Thine angels spread
Their white wings above me,
Watching round my bed.
7 When the morning wakens,
Then may I arise
Pure and fresh and sinless
In Thy holy eyes.
8 Glory to the Father,
Glory to the Son,
And to Thee, blest Spirit,
Whilst all ages run.
Amen. Scripture: Proverbs 3:24 Used With Tune: EUDOXIA

Onward, Christian Soldiers
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould Meter: 6.5.6.5 D with refrain Appears in 1,835 hymnals Topics: Carols and Spiritual Songs Lyrics: 1 Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
Christ, the royal Master,
Leads against the Foe;
Forward into battle
See His banners go!
Onward, Christian soldiers,
Marching as to war,
With the cross of Jesus
Going on before.
2 Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God;
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
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
Onward, Christian Soldiers
