How calm and beautiful the morn

Author: Thomas Hastings Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Appears in 172 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 How calm and beautiful the morn That gilds the sacred tomb, Where Christ the crucified was borne, And veiled in midnight gloom! O weep no more the Saviour slain; The Lord is risen; he lives again. 2 Ye mourning saints, dry ev'ry tear For your departed Lord; Behold the place, he is not here, The tomb is all unbarred; The gates of heath were closed in vain: The Lord is risen; he lives again. 3 Now cheerful to the house of prayer Your early footsteps bend; The Saviour will himself be there, Your Advocate and Friend: Once by the law your hopes were slain, But now in Christ ye live again. 4 How tranquil now the rising day! 'Tis Jesus still appears, A risen Lord to chase away Your unbelieving fears: O weep no more your comforts slain; The Lord is risen; he lives again. 5 And when the shades of evening fall, When life's last hour draws nigh, If Jesus shine upon the soul, How blissful then to die! Since he has risen that once was slain, Ye die in Christ to live again. Amen.

Planted in Christ, the living vine

Author: S. F. Smith Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 104 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1:21 Lyrics: 1 Planted in Christ, the living vine, This day, with one accord, Ourselves, with humble faith and joy, We yield to thee, O Lord. 2 Joined in one body may we be; One inward life partake; One be our heart; one heavenly hope In every bosom wake. 3 In prayer, in effort, tears, and toils, One wisdom be our guide; Taught by one Spirit from above, In thee may we abide. 4 Complete in us, whom grace hath called, Thy glorious work begun, O thou in whom the church on earth And church in heaven are one. 5 Around this feeble, trusting band Thy sheltering pinions spread, Nor let the storms of trial beat Too fiercely on our head. 6 Then, when, among the saints in light, Our joyful spirits shine, Shall anthems of immortal praise, O Lamb of God, be thine.

A Debtor to Mercy Alone

Author: Augustus Montague Toplady, 1740-1778 Appears in 101 hymnals Scripture: Philippians 1 Lyrics: 1 A debtor to mercy alone, of covenant mercy I sing; nor fear, with thy righteousness on, my person and off'ring to bring. The terrors of law and of God with me can have nothing to do; my Savior's obedience and blood hide all my transgressions from view. 2 The work which his goodness began, the arm of his strength will complete; his promise is yea and amen, and never was forfeited yet. Things future, nor things that are now, nor all things below or above, can make him his purpose forgo, or sever my soul from his love. 3 My name from the palms of his hands eternity will not erase; impressed on his heart it remains, in marks of indelible grace. Yes, I to the end shall endure, as sure as the earnest is giv'n; more happy, but not more secure, the glorified spirits in heav'n.
