Darkness now no more shall reign; Thorns no more shall crown the head That was bowed with grief and pain: Christ the Lord, the mighty King, From our sin hath made us free. Where, O death, is now thy sting? Where, O grave, thy victory? 2 Scoffers now no more will say: If Thou be the Christ, come down From the cross, and prove to-day That to Thee belongs the crown! For our risen Lord and King From our sin hath made us free. Where, O death, is now thy sting? Where, O grave, thy victory? 3 Faith now knows He is the Lord, Gives assent to His decree, Trusts the promise in His Word, And is crowned with victory, Shouting praises to the King, Who from sin hath made us free. Where, O death, is now thy sting? Where, O grave, thy victory? Amen. Topics: Children's Hymns; Easter Used With Tune: MAIDSTONE

It is I." 3 Jesus, Deliverer, Come Thou to me; Soothe Thou my voyaging Over life's sea: Thou, when the storm of death Roars, fiercely sweeping by, Whisper, O Truth of Truth, "Peace! It is I." Amen.

Author: Benjamin Schmolck; Miss Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 121 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, Come into the day-light's splendor, There with joy thy praises render Unto Him, whose grace unbounded Hath this wondrous banquet founded; High o'er all the earth He reigneth, Yet to dwell with thee He deigneth. 2 Hasten as a bride to meet Him, And with loving reverence greet Him, For with words of life immortal Now He knocketh at thy portal; Open wide the gates before Him, Saying, while thou dost adore Him, "Suffer, Lord, that I receive Thee, And I nevermore will leave Thee." 3 He who costly goods desireth To obtain, much gold requireth; But to freely give the treasure Of Thy love is Thy good pleasure, For on earth there is no coffer Which as payment we might offer For this cup Thy blood containing, And this manna on us raining. 4 Ah! how hungers all my spirit For the love I do not merit! Oft have I, with sighs fast thronging, Thought upon this food with longing; In the battle, well-nigh worsted, For this cup of life have thirsted, For the Friend who here invites us And to God Himself unites us. 5 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Light, who dost my soul enlighten, Joy, the sweetest man e'er knoweth, Fount, whence all my being floweth, At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker Of this blessed food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given. 6 Lord, Thy fervent love hath driven Thee to leave Thy throne in heaven, For us on the cross to languish, And to die in bitter anguish, To forgo all joy and gladness, And to shed Thy blood in sadness, Which we drink now; grant that never We forget Thy love, dear Saviour! 7 Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee; By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this banquet let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love's treasure; Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heaven receive me. Amen. Topics: The Means of Grace The Lord's Supper; Names and Office of Christ Bread Used With Tune: SCHMÜCKE DICH, O LIEBE SEELE
