'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Hymnal: CH4 #402b (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross, with willing heart,
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak soul with vain alarm:
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
the Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home,
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross, and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Lent; Discipleship Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 Languages: English Tune Title: HESPERUS

Lord of the Dance
Author: Sydney Bertram Carter (1915-2004) Hymnal: CH4 #404 (2005) Meter: Irregular with refrain First Line: I danced in the morning when the world was begun Refrain First Line: Dance, then, wherever you may be Lyrics: 1 I danced in the morning
when the world was begun,
and I danced in the moon
and the stars, and the sun,
and I came down from heaven
and I danced on the earth--
at Bethlehem I had my birth.
Refrain:
Dance, then, wherever you may be:
I am the Lord of the Dance, said he,
and I’ll lead you all, wherever you may be,
and I’ll lead you all in the Dance, said he.
2 I danced for the scribe
and the Pharisee,
but they would not dance
and they would not follow me.
I danced for the fishermen,
for James and John --
they came with me
and the Dance went on. [Refrain]
3 I danced on the Sabbath
when I cured the lame,
the holy people
said it was a shame.
They whipped and they stripped
and they hung me high,
and they left me there
on a Cross to die. [Refrain]
4 I danced on a Friday
and the sky turned black --
it’s hard to dance
with the devil on your back.
They buried my body
and they thought I’d gone --
but I am the Dance
and I still go on. [Refrain]
5 They cut me down
and I leapt up high --
I am the life
that’ll never, never die.
I’ll live in you
if you’ll live in me,
I am the Lord
of the Dance, said he. [Refrain] Topics: Christ Incarnate Passion and Death; Christ Incarnate Public Ministry; Dance; Jesus Life and Ministry Scripture: 2 Samuel 6:14 Languages: English Tune Title: LORD OF THE DANCE
Lord of the Dance
We sing the praise of him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Hymnal: CH4 #405 (2005) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope though all deride --
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, 'God is love';
he bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! it takes our guilt away;
and holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup;
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light;
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Courage; Jesus cross Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 Languages: English Tune Title: WALTON (FULDA)

He rose, he rose, he rose from the dead!

then Joseph begged his body and laid it in a tomb,
then Joseph begged his body and laid it in a tomb,
and the Lord will bear my spirit home. [Refrain]

Sister Mary she came running a-looking for my Lord,
Sister Mary she came running a-looking for my Lord,

no singing bird has spoken,
nor has the world awoken,

She turns, with joy, 'My Lord! My love!' replying.

we join our voices praising
the God of Jesus' raising,
and sing the triumph of that love amazing. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter; Grief Scripture: John 20:1-16 Languages: English Tune Title: CHURCH CLOSE

Christ the Lord is Risen Today
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: CH4 #411 (2005) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 'Christ the Lord is risen today',
all on earth and angels say;
raise your joys and triumphs high;
sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.
Love's redeeming work is done,
fought the fight, the battle won;
lo! our Sun's eclipse is o'er;
lo! he sets in blood no more.
2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
Christ has burst the gates of hell:
death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened Paradise.
Lives again our glorious King;
where, O Death, is now thy sting?
Once he died, our souls to save;
where thy victory, O grave?
3 Soar we now where Christ has led,
following our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise;
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to thee by both be given;
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection thou! Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:54-55 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR
