Christ is alive! Let Christians sing
Author: Brian A. Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching every place and time.
3 In every insult, rift and war,
where colour, scorn or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring
good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love and praise. Topics: Easter; Easter V Year A Scripture: Acts 9:5 Used With Tune: TRURO

God who knew the price of faith:
touch our world of sad oppression
with your Spirit's healing breath.

hear the cries of pain and protest,
God who shed the tears and blood;
move in us the power of pity,
restless for the common good.

quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed:
teach us to be fully human,
open to each other's need. Topics: Peace and Justice Scripture: Hebrews 5:8 Used With Tune: RHUDDLAN

Glory be to Jesus
Author: Edward Caswall, 1814-1878 Meter: 6.5.6.5 Appears in 211 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Glory be to Jesus,
who, in bitter pains,
poured for me the life-blood
from his sacred veins.
2 Grace and life eternal
in that blood I find;
blest be his compassion,
infinitely kind.
3 Blest through endless ages
be the precious stream,
which from endless torments
did the world redeem.
4 Abel's blood for vengeance
pleaded to the skies;
but the blood of Jesus
for our pardon cries.
5 Oft as it is sprinkled
on our guilty hearts,
Satan in confusion
terror-struck departs.
6 Oft as earth exulting
wafts its praise on high,
angel-hosts rejoicing
make their glad reply.
7 Lift ye then your voices;
swell the mighty flood;
louder still and louder
praise the precious blood. Topics: Passiontide and Holy Week; Lent V Year A Scripture: 1 Peter 1:12 Used With Tune: CASWALL Text Sources: Italian
