The Lord Arose

It came upon the early morn, That voice so sweet and clear; Why seek the living ’mong the dead? The Savior is not here! Refrain The Lord is ris’n, the angels say, The Lord arose this Easter Day! 2. He suffered death for everyone, He suffered in our stead; But now the victory is won, He’s risen from the dead. [Refrain] 3. O angels, we would join the song, And glory, glory sing, In triumph to our risen Lord, Our Savior and our King!

Do Thou Direct Thy Chariot, Lord

Author: Ulrich Zwingli; Unknown Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Do Thou direct Thy chariot, Lord, And guide us at Thy will; Without Thy aid our strength is vain, And useless all our skill. Look down upon Thy saints below When prostrate laid beneath the foe. 2 Belovèd Shepherd, who hast saved Our souls from death and sin, Uplift Thy voice, awake Thy sheep, That slumbering lie within Thy fold; and curb, with Thy right hand, The rage of Satan’s furious band. 3 Send down Thy peace and banish strife, Let bitterness depart; Revive the spirit of Thy grace In each true Christian’s heart; Then shall Thy Church forever sing The praises of her heavenly king. Used With Tune: JÖNKÖPING

The rosy-fingered dawn appears

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: The rosy-fingered dawn appears, And lo, the sun uprise; His shafts like golden pointed spears Illume the brightening skies;-- Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine, And praise the Lord of Light divine. Thou hast a task to do this day, Thy God to serve in all; Like morn and noon thy light display, Ere night in darkness fall.-- Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine, And praise the Lord of Light divine. The rosy morn shall fade away, The sun his course complete; Thy task must end with close of day, When light and darkness greet.-- Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine, And praise the Lord of Light divine. 2 Eternal light eternal glows, Beyond the realms of time; Where service still to service grows, As suns to noontide climb.-- Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine, And praise the Lord of Light divine.

The wind that brake the rocks, and rent

Author: James Montgomery Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: The wind that brake the rocks, and rent The mountains in its path; The earthquake and the fire that went Before the Lord in wrath, Came not as spoilers to the prey, But heralds to prepare His way. 201 Himself the still small voice made known, In all His power and grace; So be to me his mercy shown, Terror to love give place: Than will I hide my face, and stay To hear what God the Lord will say. Topics: Still small voice, the Scripture: 2 Kings 19:11-12

To depths of earth Thou didst descend

Author: St. John of Damascus; John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: To depths of earth Thou didst descend, O Christ, to break the chain That held the sons of men enslaved, And lead them forth again; As Jonah left the living grave, So cam’st Thou forth, O Christ, to save. Unbroken were the seals when Thou Didst leave the dismal tomb, Even as the virgin bars remained When Thou didst leave the womb; And Thou hast ope’d the gates of heaven, And entrance free to all is given. O Thou, my Saviour and my God, Who camest from above, And gav’st Thyself for sinful men An offering of love! Now, rising from the grave, we see Our human race arise with Thee.

They brought Him to the hill of death

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: I They brought Him to the hill of death Where ruthless felons died, And there, upon a cross of shame, The Christ was crucified; By wicked men the nails were driven, And God, in silence, looked from heaven. II They bade Him find His help in God, If He were Christ indeed, And save Himself, as He had saved So many in their need; Such taunting words like venom stung, And God beheld the arrows flung. III They wagged their heads in mocking scorn, And bade the Christ come down,— While from His wounds the blood-drops fell, And from the thorny crown; The spear uplifted pierced His side, And God beheld the crimson tide. IV All dark at noon, the sun refused His wonted light to shed, For sin and death had God defied, And Christ His Son was dead; And God had turned His face away, Nor heard the Christ in anguish pray. V All hail the Resurrection morn! The light returns again, And Christ is throned at God’s right hand Who once for man was slain; And God extends His pardoning grace, Nor hides the brightness of His face.

The man who erring counsel shuns

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: I The man who erring counsel shuns, Nor strays where sinners meet, But in the law of God delights In meditation sweet, Shall reap the happiness of those To whom the Lord His favour shews. II As tree beside the water brooks Whose leaf unfading lives, And when the time appointed comes, A bounteous fruitage gives;— So shall he prosper all his days, Whose hope is in God’s law always. III Not so the wicked,—they are chaff Before the wind that flies, Nor could they stand His searching glance, Should God in judgment rise; For known to God are all the right, But wicked men shall perish quite. Scripture: Psalm 1

O Jesus, when my guilty fears

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: I O Jesus, when my guilty fears My wakened soul distress, And Judgment for the past appears In all its awfulness,— Bid gathering clouds asunder roll, And shed Thy sunshine in my soul. II When from their long-forgotten grave My guilty deeds arise, And terror proves me yet the slave My soul would fain despise,— From stings of memory heal my soul, And free me from sin’s dire control. III O Lord, in Whom my hope is set, I look in faith to Thee; From sin, and guilt, and sad regret, My soul in mercy free;— For, in that mercy, Lord, I trust, And lie, repenting, in the dust. Topics: Penitence and Love
