Saints low bending, prayers ascending, holy lips and hands implore, faith believing and receiving grace from thee whom we adore. 2 Holy light doth fill this place; Spirit, light our way to guide. In the presence of thy face, sin’s deceptions ne’er can hide. Heaven’s gleaming, fullness streaming, life and truth for all are found; light pervading, never fading, lighting all the world around. 3 On thy holy bread we feed, hunger never more to know. Thou suppliest all our need; Savior, whither shall we go? Ne’er forsaking, here partaking bread our souls to satisfy; here abiding and confiding, we shall never want nor die.

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Celebrate this day of days. Christ is risen! Hush in wonder, all creation stand amazed. In the desert all surrounding, see, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of love unknown. 2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a friend; Jesus is our strong companion— joy and peace shall never end. 3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim, demonic chorus, “Christ is risen! Get you gone!” God the First and Last is with us. Sing hosanna, ev’ry one!

Ainger Meter: Irregular Appears in 93 hymnals Lyrics: 1 God is working this purpose out, as year succeeds to year; God is working this purpose out, and the time is drawing near; nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be: when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 2 From utmost east to utmost west, where human feet have trod, by the mouth of many messengers goes forth the voice of God: “Give ear to me, ye continents, ye isles, give ear to me, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.” 3 Let us go forth in the strength of God, with the banner of Christ unfurled, that the light of the glorious gospel of truth may shine throughout the world. Let us all fight with sorrow and sin to set the captives free, that the earth may be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea. 4 All we can do is nothing worth unless God blesses the deed. Vainly we hope for the harvest-tide till God gives life to the seed. Yet nearer and nearer draws the time, the time that shall surely be, when the earth shall be filled with the glory of God as the waters cover the sea.
