Before the heaven and earth

Author: Brian Black (born 1926) Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Ascension of Christ Lyrics: 1 Before the heaven and earth were made by God's decree, the Son of God all-glorious dwelt in God's eternity. 2 Though in the form of God and rich beyond compare, he did not stay to grasp his prize; nor did he linger there. 3 From heights of heaven he came to this world full of sin, to meet with hunger, hatred, hell, our life, our love to win. 4 The Son became true Man and took a servant's role; with lowliness and selfless love he came, to make us whole. 5 Obedient to his death — that death upon a cross, no son had ever shown such love nor father known such loss. 6 To him enthroned on high, by angel hosts adored, all knees shall bow, and tongues confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11 Used With Tune: NARENZA Text Sources: The Song of Christ's Glory

Author: Anon. Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 31 hymnals Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension Lyrics: 1 Lo, the stone is rolled away! Death yields up his mighty prey; Jesus, rising from the tomb, Scatters all its fearful gloom. 2 Praise him, ye celestial choirs, Praise, and sweep your golden lyres! Praise him in the noblest songs, From ten thousand thousand tongues. 3 Every note with rapture swell, And the Saviour's triumph tell; Where, O death! is now thy sting? Where thy terrors, vanquished king? 4 Let Immanuel be adored, Ransom, Mediator, Lord! To creation's utmost bound Let th' eternal praise resound.

Mary to the Saviour's tomb

Author: Newton Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 267 hymnals Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension Lyrics: 1 Mary to the Saviour's tomb Hasted at the early dawn; Spice she brought and sweet perfume, But the Lord she loved had gone: For a while she lingering stood, Filled with sorrow and surprise, Trembling, while a crystal flood Issued from her weeping eyes. 2 But her sorrows quickly fled When she heard his welcome voice; Christ had risen from the dead; Now he bids her heart rejoice: What a change his word can make, Turning darkness into day! Ye who weep for Jesus' sake, He will wipe your tears away.

When Jesus' time was fully come

Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals Topics: The Ascension Day Lyrics: 1 When Jesus' time was fully come To leave this world below; Then he return'd to heav'n, his home! Where he is worship'd now. 2 His work on earth is all complete: His suff'rings have an end; In heav'n he took his place and seat, And reigns at God's right hand. 3 The Hosts of heaven praise his name, And of his wonders sing; Then let us join to do the same And worship him our King. 4 To him, are endless praises due. From all that live and move; Yet men or angels cannot shew The greatness of his love. 5 We shall more fully sing his praise: When we get near his throne-- And love and thank him all our days, For all that he has done. Scripture: Mark 16:14-20
