Stichera (Sung after the Canon for Easter Day)

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHHEC #95 (1902) Meter: 10.10.10.8 First Line: Thy glorious rising on the first of days Lyrics: Thy glorious rising on the first of days, We come adoring, and with grateful praise Thy saving Passion sing in joyful lays;-- With trumpet sound His praise advance. O Christ Who, on the Cross in dark dismay Didst vanquish death and cast his bands away,-- Almighty, in our life give peace, we pray; Praise Him with cymbals in the dance. Thou Christ Who, from the depths of hades brought The life to mortal man his spirit sought; May we with pure heart hymn Thee as we ought;-- With trumpet sound His praise advance. We praise Thee that in condescension Thou, Of Virgin born, to man's estate didst bow, One with th' Eternal Father then as now;-- Praise Him with cymbals in the dance. He, on the Cross Who freely bare our woes, And from the grave a glorious Victor rose, Now on the world His saving grace bestows;-- With trumpet sound His praise advance, Praise Him with cymbals in the dance.

Triple Beam of Glory

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHHEC #134 (1902) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Lyrics: Triple Beam of glory, Through the darkness poured; One the Light eternal In our blessed Lord: Give us in the morning, Gladness for the day,-- All our life adorning, Chase the night away. Glory of the Father, Glory of the Son, Glory of the Spirit, Blessed Three in One: Let Thy beams united-- Brighter than the sun, Lighten men benighted-- Blessed Three in One. Men in darkness sitting Scan the eastern skies,-- Glory of the Father, On their night arise. Give the morn supernal, Give the endless day;-- Light of light eternal, Banish night away. Hearts are dark with sorrow, Minds are dull with care, Clouds of doubt envelop Mankind everywhere. Triple Beam of gladness, Through the ages poured, Give us joy for sadness,-- Shine upon us, Lord.

The Morn in Beauty Breaks

The darkness fades away, Light ushers in the day,-- Let there be light for me! That round my path no cloud Dark folding may enshroud, Me in perplexity. To Father and to Son, To Spirit, Three in One, Eternal praise be given: Sung by the saints above, In songs of fervent love, Up in the choirs of heaven. Languages: English

See Where the Orb of Day

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: BHHEC #139 (1902) Meter: 6.6.8.6.6.6 Lyrics: See where the orb of day In glory sinks to rest, The clouds of gold and purple crown The mountains of the west; And eve in silence brings The night on dusky wings. It is the hour of peace, And hearts to heaven ascend,-- Come with your burdens and your care, To an unchanging Friend; And let the passing day, Bear all your fears away. It is the hour of prayer; Let every fault be known; Unveil the secrets of the soul, And every sin disown; The blood for sinners spilt, Shall bear away your guilt. It is the hour of praise, Let joy the stillness break; And every grateful thought of God To living song awake; And saints in heaven shall bear To God your fervent prayer. The night in silence falls,-- O God to Thee be praise! And to the Spirit and the Son, Throughout the endless days;-- Eternal Three in One, While endless ages run. Languages: English

O Thou Who shinest forth, Incarnate God most High, Who art, and wast in ages gone, To us bring mercy nigh. Languages: English
