God the Father, God the Son (Littledale)

Author: Richard F. Littledale Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 10 hymnals First Line: God the Father, God the Son Lyrics: 1. God the Father, God the Son, Holy Ghost, the Comforter, Ever blessèd Three in One, Hearken to our humble prayer: Hear us when we call to Thee, Spare us, Holy Trinity. 2. Hear us, Son of God, O hear! We approach Thee for our dead; Lead them, in the vale of fear, Be Thy wings around them spread: Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 3. Child of Mary, who didst bear, Mortal flesh, for man to die; Child of sorrow, toil, and care, Grant them rest eternally. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 4. Dweller in the vale of death, Second Adam, source of life, Wearer of the thorny wreath, Victor in the deadly strife. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 5. Thou who didst let fall the tear On the grave of Bethany; Who at Nain did stay the bier That lone mother’s tear to dry. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 6. Thou whose voice could wake the dead, Maid! I say to thee, arise! Who didst bow Thy dying hand On the day of sacrifice. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 7. Thou who passedst through the gloom Which enshrouds the vale of death, Guide their footsteps through the tomb, Shelter them Thine arms beneath. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 8. By Thy flesh with scourges torn, By Thy suffering human soul, By the crown of woven thorn, By the mocking title-scroll. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 9. By the quiet rock-hewn cave, Where Thy body slept so well, When Thy Spirit, through the grave, Entered to the realms of hell: Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 10. By Thy preaching of the Christ To the souls in prison bound, When was rolled away the mist Which had hung their vision round. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 11. By the eternal sacrifice Which Thou pleadest at the throne, Only gift which can suffice, For that gift is all Thine own. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 12. By the offering which we plead, One with Thine in Heaven above, By the Lamb whose five wounds bled, To fill full our cup of love. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 13. In the fell and fearful day, Day of fury and of ire, When the earth shall melt away In the thunder-blast of fire. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day. 14. When to hear the doom are met Saints and sinners, quick and dead, And the great white throne is set, And the books are open spread. Lord of life and love, we pray, Grant them mercy in that day.

Mid this sad sepulchral gloom Shall your faith give way to fears? He will soon, even as He said, Rise triumphant from the dead. 2 Hither, sinners, all repair, And with Jesus Christ be dead; All are safe from Satan’s snare, Who to Jesus’ tomb have fled; Here the weary and oppressed Find a never ending rest. 3 In Thy death is all my trust, I have Thee my refuge made; And when once, consigned to dust, In the tomb my body’s laid, Then with savèd souls above I will praise Thy dying love. 4 But while here I’m left behind, Burdened with infirmity, May I help and comfort find, Visiting Gethsemane, Calvary and Joseph’s tomb, Till my Sabbath’s also come.

Only joy the heart will know In the land to which we go. 4 ’Tis the Christian’s promised land; There is everlasting day; There a Savior’s loving hand Wipes the mourner’s tears away; Oh! the rapture we shall know In the land to which we go.

After Three Days Thou Didst Rise

Author: Joseph of the Studium; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: After three day Thou didst rise Lyrics: After three days Thou didst rise Visible to mortal eyes: First the Eleven worshipped Thee,— Then the rest in Galilee: Then a cloud in glory bore Thee to Thine own native shore. 21O Boldly David poured the strain: GOD ascends to Heav’n again: With the trumpet’s pealing note Alleluias round Him float; As He now, by hard-won right, Seeks the Fount of purest Light! Crime on crime, and grief on grief, Left the world without relief: Now that aged, languid race, GOD hath quickened by His grace: As Thy going up we see, Glory to Thy Glory be! Darkness and awe, when Sinai’s top he trod, Taught him of faltering tongue the Law of GOD: 211 The mist was scattered from his spirit’s eye, He praised and hymned the Maker of the sky, When He That is and was and shall be, passed by. Hymns of the Eastern Church, 1866
