In Heavenly Love Abiding
Author: Anna L. Waring Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 584 hymnals Topics: Darkness First Line: In heavenly love abiding Lyrics: 1 In heavenly love abiding,
No change my heart shall fear;
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid,
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed?
2 Wherever he may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim,
He knows the way he taketh,
And I will walk with him.
3 Green pastures are before me
Which yet I have not seen;
Bright skies will soon be over me,
Where darkest clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure;
My path to life is free,
My Savior has my treasure,
And he will walk with me. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE Text Sources: Hymns and Meditations, 1850

in your Godhead manifest,
you revealed your power divine,
changing water into wine, [Refrain]

quelling all the devil’s might;

At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Powers of Darkness Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
praise to our victorious King,
who has washed us in the tide
flowing from his wounded side.
Praise we Christ, whose love divine
gives his sacred blood for wine,
gives his body for the feast–
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
2 Where the paschal blood is poured
death's dread angel sheathes the sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
paschal victim, paschal bread;
with sincerity and love
eat we manna from above.
3 Mighty victim from the sky,
hell's fierce powers beneath you lie;
you have conquered in the fight,
you have brought us life and light.
Now no more can death appall,
now no more the grave enthrall;
you have opened paradise,
and your saints in you shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
this alone can sin destroy!
From sin's power, Lord, set us free,
newborn souls in you to be.
Father, who the crown shall give;
Savior, by whose death we live;
Spirit, guide through all our days:
Three in One, your name we praise. Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: Latin hymn, 17th c.

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, ca. 675-749; John Mason Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 383 hymnals Topics: Darkness Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness!
God has brought forth Israel
into joy from sadness,
loosed from Pharaoh’s bitter yoke
Jacob’s sons and daughters;
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 ’Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ has burst his prison,
and from three days’ sleep in death
as a sun has risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from the Light to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the tomb’s dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal:
but today, among your own,
you appear, bestowing
your deep peace, which evermore
passes human knowing.
4 Alleluia! Now we cry
to our Lord immortal,
who, triumphant, burst the bars
of the tomb’s dark portal;
Alleluia! With the Son,
God the Father praising;
Alleluia! Yet a gain
to the Spirit raising.
Scripture: Matthew 28:1-9 Used With Tune: ST. KEVIN

Long Is Our Winter
Once to Every Soul and Nation
Author: James Russell Lowell Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 206 hymnals Topics: Darkness Lyrics: 1 Once to every soul and nation
Comes the moment to decide,
In the strife of truth with falsehood
For the good or evil side;
Some great cause, God's new Messiah
Offering each the bloom or blight,
And the choice goes by for ever
'Twixt that darkness and that light.
2 Then to side with truth is noble,
When we share its wretched crust,
Ere her cause bring fame and profit,
And 'tis prosperous to be just;
Then it is the brave soul chooses,
While the coward stands aside,
Till the multitude make virtue
Of the faith they had denied.
3 By the light of burning martyrs,
Jesus' bleeding feet we track,
Toiling up new Calvarys ever
With the cross that turns not back;
New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still, and onward,
Who would keep abreast of truth.
4 Though the cause of evil prosper,
Yet 'tis truth alone is strong;
Though her portion be the scaffold,
And upon the throne be wrong,
Yet that scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch beside His own. Used With Tune: EBENEZER (TON Y-BOTEL)

and has shed his own blood for my soul. [Refrain]

is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! [Refrain]

the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;
even so, it is well with my soul. [Refrain] Scripture: Job 1-42 Used With Tune: VILLE DU HAVRE
