At the name of Jesus

Author: Caroline Maria Noel (1817-77) Appears in 255 hymnals Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus Every knee shall bow, Every tongue confess him King of Glory now; ‘Tis the Father’s pleasure We should call him Lord, Who from the beginning Was the mighty Word. 2 At his voice creation Sprang at once to sight, All the angel faces, All the hosts of light, Thrones and dominations, Stars upon their way, All the heavenly orders In their great array. 3 Humbled for a season, To receive a name From the lips of sinners Unto whom he came, Faithfully he bare it Spotless to the last, Brought it back victorious When from death he passed. 4 Bore it up triumphant With its human light, Through all ranks of creatures To the central height, To the throne of Godhead, To the Father’s breast; Filled it with the glory Of that perfect rest. 5 In your hearts enthrone him; There let him subdue All that is not holy, All that is not true; Crown him as your captain In temptation’s hour; Let his will enfold you In its light and power.

Christ is alive! Let Christians sing

Author: Brian Wren Appears in 55 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. His cross stands empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises ring. His love in death shall never die. 2 Christ is alive! No longer bound To distant years in Palestine, He comes to claim the here and now And conquer every place and time. 3 Not throned above, remotely high, Untouched, unmoved by human pains, But daily, in the midst of life, Our Saviour with the Father reigns. 4 In every insult, rift and war, Where colour, scorn or wealth divide, He suffers still, yet loves the more, And lives, though ever crucified. 5 Christ is alive! His Spirit burns Through this and every future age, Till all creation lives and learns His joy, his justice, love and praise. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Resurrection and ascension

Sing ye heavens; thou earth, reply: Hallelujah! 2 Love’s redeeming work is done; Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! the sun’s eclipse is o’er, Lo! he sets in blood no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Christ hath burst the gates of Hell; Death in vain forbids his rise; Christ hath opened Paradise. 4 Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting? Once he died our souls to save; Where’s thy victory, boasting grave? 5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted head; Made like him, like him we rise, Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

Crown him, crown him! Crown the Saviour King of kings! 3 Sinners in derision crowned him, Mocking thus the Saviour’s claim; Saints and angels crowd around him, Own his title, praise his name. Crown him, crown him! Spread abroad the victor’s fame! 4 Hark, those bursts of acclamation! Hark, those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O what joy the sight affords!

What though this earthly house shall fail, The Saviour’s power will yet prevail And build it up anew. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Resurrection and ascension

The winged squadrons of the sky Look down with sad and wondering eyes To see the approaching sacrifice. 4 Ride on, ride on in majesty! The last and fiercest strife is nigh; The Father on his sapphire throne Expects his own anointed Son. 5 Ride on, ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die; Bow thy meek head to mortal pain, Then take, O God, thy power, and reign. Topics: The Lord Jesus Christ Resurrection and ascension
