1 Christ the Lord is ris'n again;
Christ hath broken ev'ry chain;
hark, the angels shout for joy,
singing evermore on high, "Alleluia!"
2 He who gave for us his life,
who for us endured the strife,
is our Paschal Lamb today;
we too sing for joy and say, "Alleluia!"
3 He who bore all pain and loss
comfortless upon the cross,
lives in glory now on high,
pleads for us and hears our cry: "Alleluia!"
4 He who slumbered in the grave
is exalted now to save;
now thro' Christendom it rings
that the Lamb is King of kings, Alleluia!

Christ the Lord Is Risen Again
O Sacred Head! sore wounded
Author: James Waddell Alexander (1804-1859); Paul Gerhardt (1607-1676) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 729 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 Lyrics: 1 O Sacred Head! sore wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down!
O Kingly Head, surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown!
How pale art thou with anguish,
with sore abuse and scorn!
How does that face now languish,
which once was bright as morn!
2 O Lord of life and glory,
what bliss till now was thine!
I read the wondrous story;
I joy to call thee mine.
Thy grief and bitter Passion
were all for sinners' gain;
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the deadly pain.
3 What language shall I borrow
to praise thee, heavenly Friend,
for this, thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
O make me thine for ever,
and, should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
outlive my love for thee.
4 Be near me, Lord, when dying;
O show thy cross to me;
and, my last need supplying,
come, Lord, and set me free;
these eyes, new faith receiving,
from thee shall never move;
for they who die believing
die safely through thy love. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnante - Passion and Death; Christian Year Good Friday; Death and Bereavement; Devotion Used With Tune: PASSION CHORALE

There Is a Green Hill Far Away
Author: Cecil F. Alexander Appears in 701 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 Refrain First Line: O dearly, dearly has He loved Lyrics: 1 There is a green hill far away,
Outside a city wall,
Where the dear Lord was crucified,
Who died to save us all.
Chorus:
O dearly, dearly has He loved,
And we must love Him too;
And trust in His redeeming blood,
And try His works to do.
2 We may not know, we cannot tell,
What pains He had to bear;
But we believe it was for us
He hung and suffered there. (Chorus)
3 He died that we might be forgiv'n,
He died to make us good,
That we might go at last to heav'n,
Saved by His precious blood. (Chorus)
4 There was no other good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could unlock the gate
Of heav'n and let us in. (Chorus)

Christ the Lord is Risen Today
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 1,187 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18-19 Lyrics: 1 'Christ the Lord is risen today',
all on earth and angels say;
raise your joys and triumphs high;
sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.
Love's redeeming work is done,
fought the fight, the battle won;
lo! our Sun's eclipse is o'er;
lo! he sets in blood no more.
2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
Christ has burst the gates of hell:
death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened Paradise.
Lives again our glorious King;
where, O Death, is now thy sting?
Once he died, our souls to save;
where thy victory, O grave?
3 Soar we now where Christ has led,
following our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise;
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to thee by both be given;
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection thou! Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Resurrection and Exaltation; Christian Year Easter Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR

Hymn 46 Part 1
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 311 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:22 First Line: Father, how wide thy glories shine! Lyrics:
Father, how wide thy glories shine!
How high thy wonders rise!
Known through the earth by thousand signs,
By thousand through the skies.
Those mighty orbs proclaim thy power,
Their motions speak thy skill,
And on the wings of every hour
We read thy patience still.
But when we view thy strange design
To save rebellious worms,
Our souls are filled with awe divine
To see what God performs.
When sinners break the Father's laws,
The dying Son atones;
O the dear myst'ries of his cross,
The triumph of his groans
Now the full glories of the Lamb
Adorn the heav'nly plains;
Sweet cherubs learn Immanuel's name,
And try their choicest strains.
O may I bear some humble part
In that immortal song!
Wonder and joy shall tune my heart,
And love command my tongue.

and grant that we, for whom thou diddest die,
being with thy dear blood clean washed from sin,
may live for ever in felicity:
3 And that thy love we, weighing worthily,
may likewise love thee for the same again;
and for thy sake, that all like dear didst buy,
with love may one another entertain.

love is the lesson which the Lord us taught. Topics: Our Response to God in the morning and evening; Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; Jesus Resurrection; Sunday Used With Tune: DUNOON

Once in royal David's city
Author: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 411 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:22 Lyrics: 1 Once in royal David's city
stood a lowly cattle shed,
where a mother laid her Baby
in a manger for his bed.
Mary was that mother mild,
Jesus Christ her little child.
2 He came down to earth from heaven
who is God and Lord of all,
and his shelter was a stable,
and his cradle was a stall.
With the poor and meek and lowly
lived on earth our Saviour holy.
3 And our eyes at last shall see him,
through his own redeeming love;
for that Child so dear and helpless
is our Lord in heaven above;
and he leads his children on
to the place where he is gone.
4 Not in that poor lowly stable,
with the oxen standing by,
we shall see him; but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high,
where his children gather round,
bright like stars, with glory crowned. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Christmas and Epiphany Used With Tune: IRBY

Ah, Holy Jesus, How Hast Thou Offended
Author: Johann Heermann; Robert Bridges Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 139 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 Lyrics: 1 Ah, holy Jesus, how hast Thou offended,
That man to judge Thee hath in hate pretended?
By foes derided, by Thine own rejected,
O most afflicted!
2 Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon Thee?
Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone Thee!
'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied Thee:
I crucified Thee.
3 For me, kind Jesus, was Thy incarnation,
Thy mortal sorrow, and Thy life's oblation;
Thy death of anguish and Thy bitter passion,
For my salvation.
4 Therefore, kind Jesus, since I cannot pay Thee,
I do adore Thee, and will ever pray Thee,
Think on Thy pity and Thy love unswerving,
Not my deserving.

And did the holy and the just
Author: Steele Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 123 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 Lyrics: 1 And did the holy and the just,
The sovereign of the skies,
Stoop down to wretchedness and dust,
That guilty man might rise?
2 Yes, the Redeemer left his throne--
His radiant throne on high--
Surprising mercy! love unknown!
To suffer, bleed, and die.
3 To dwell with misery here below,
The Saviour left the skies,
And sank to wretchedness and woe,
That worthless man might rise.
4 He took the dying traitor's place,
And suffered in his stead:
For sinful man--oh, wondrous grace!
For sinful man he bled.
5 O Lord, what heavenly wonders dwell
In thine atoning blood!
By this are sinners saved from hell,
And rebels brought to God. Topics: The Christian System Atonement; The Atoning Blood of Christ
