Atonement made
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 89 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 First Line: Now to the power of God supreme Lyrics: 1 Now to the power of God supreme
Be everlasting honors given;
He saves from hell,--we bless his name,--
He guides our wandering feet to heaven.
2 'Twas his own purpose that began
To rescue rebels doomed to die:
He gave us grace in Christ, his Son,
Before he spread the starry sky.
3 Jesus, the Lord, appears at last,
And makes his Father's counsels known;
Declares the great transactions past,
And brings immortal blessings down.
4 He dies; and in that dreadful night
Doth all the powers of hell destroy;
Rising, he brings our heaven to light,
And takes possession of the joy. Topics: Christ Resurrection of; Decrees Spiritual Used With Tune: ROTHWELL

Christians, haste your vows to pay;
Make your joy and praises known
At the Paschal Victim's throne.
For the sheep the Lamb has bled,
Sinless in the sinner's stead.
Christ the Lord is ris'n on high;
Now he lives, no more to die.
2 Christ, the Victim undefiled,
God and sinners reconciled,
When in fierce and bloody strife
Met together death and life.
Christians, on this happy day
Raise your hearts with joy and say:
"Christ the Lord is ris'n on high;
Now he lives, no more to die."
3 Say, O wond'ring Mary, say
What you saw along your way.
"I beheld the glory bright
Of the risen Lord of light,
Empty tomb and angels seen
Where Christ's body once had been.
Christ my hope, raised gloriously,
Makes his way to Galilee."
4 Christ, who once for sinners bled,
Now the first-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and pow'r,
Lives and reigns for evermore.
Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, O King of victory!
Hail, our Prince of life adored!
Show us mercy, gracious Lord.

Christ's Resurrection a Pledge of our's
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 77 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 First Line: When I the holy grave survey Lyrics: 1 When I the holy grave survey,
Where once my Saviour deign'd to lie;
I see fulfil'd what prophets say,
And all the pow'r of death defy.
2 This empty tomb shall now proclaim
How weak the bands of conquer'd death:
Sweet pledge, that all who trust his name,
Shall rise, and draw immortal breath!
3 Our surety freed, declares us free,
For whose offences he was seiz'd:
In his release, our own we see,
And shout to view Jehovah pleas'd.
4 Jesus, once number'd with the dead,
Unseals his eyes to sleep no more;
And ever lives, their cause to plead,
For whom the pains of death he bore.
5 Thy risen Lord, my soul behold;
See the rich diadem he wears!
Thou too shalt bear an harp of gold,
To crown thy joy when he appears.
6 Tho' in the dust I lay my head,
Yet, gracious God, thou wilt not leave
My flesh forever with the dead,
Nor lose thy children in the grave.

Speak to our fearful hearts by conflict rent.
Save us, Thy people, from consuming passion,
Who by our own false hopes and aims are spent.

Bringing to hungry souls the bread of life,
Still let Thy Spirit unto us be given
To heal earth's wounds and end our bitter strife.

Showing to wandering souls the path of light:
Walk Thou beside us lest the tempting byways
Lure us away from Thee to endless night.

From death and dark despair, from sin and guilt;
We render back the love Thy mercy gave us;
Take Thou our lives and use them as Thou wilt.

Who by this sign did conquer grief and pain,
We would be faithful to Thy gospel glorious;
Thou art our Lord! Thou dost forever reign!

Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense
Author: Otto von Schwerin, 1616-79; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Appears in 56 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20-23 Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense
And my Savior, now is living!
Knowing this, my confidence
Rests upon the hope here given,
Though the night of death be fraught
Still with many an anxious thought.
2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives;
Likewise I to life shall waken.
He will bring me where He is;
Shall my courage then be shaken?
Shall I fear, or could the Head
Rise and leave His members dead?
3 No, too closely I am bound
By my hope to Christ forever;
Faith's strong hand the Rock has found,
Grasped it, and will leave it never;
Even death now cannot part
From its Lord the trusting heart.
4 I am flesh and must return
To the dust, whence I am taken;
But by faith I now discern
That from death I shall awaken
With my Savior to abide
In His glory, at His side.
5 Glorified, I shall anew
With this flesh then be enshrouded;
In this body I shall view
God, my Lord, with eyes unclouded;
In this flesh I then shall see
Jesus Christ eternally.
6 Then take comfort and rejoice,
For His members Christ will cherish.
Fear not, they will hear His voice;
Dying, they shall never perish;
For the very grave is stirred
When the trumpet's blast is heard.
7 Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave
And at death no longer tremble;
He, the Lord, who came to save
Will at last His own assemble.
They will go their Lord to meet,
Treading death beneath their feet.
8 O, then, draw away your hearts
From all pleasures base and hollow;
Strive to share what He imparts
While you here His footsteps follow.
As you now still wait to rise,
Fix your hearts beyond the skies! Topics: Death and Burial Used With Tune: JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT
