Author: Fred Pratt Green Hymnal: Baptist Hymnal 1991 #357 (1991) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: The first day of the week Lyrics: 1. The first day of the week
His own, in sad despair,
Could not believe for very joy
The risen Lord was there.
2. Obedient to His word,
They shared what Jesus gave.
And, one in Him, in breaking bread
Knew what it cost to save.
3. Each day thro'out the week
As on the Lord's own day,
They walked in new-found liberty
His true and living way.
4. So on this joyful day
From needless burdens freed,
We keep the feast he made for us
To fit our inmost need.
5. How soon we forge again
The fetters of our past;
As long as Jesus lives in us
So long our freedoms last.
6. Today His people meet,
Today His word is sown;
Lord Jesus, show us how to use
This day we call Your own. Scripture: John 20:1 Languages: English Tune Title: HILL

The First Day of the Week
Fred Pratt Green
1903 - 2000 Person Name: F. Pratt Green, b.1903 Author of "The first day of the week" in The Book of Praise The name of the Rev. F. Pratt Green is one of the best-known of the contemporary school of hymnwriters in the British Isles. His name and writings appear in practically every new hymnal and "hymn supplement" wherever English is spoken and sung. And now they are appearing in American hymnals, poetry magazines, and anthologies.
Mr. Green was born in Liverpool, England, in 1903. Ordained in the British Methodist ministry, he has been pastor and district superintendent in Brighton and York, and now served in Norwich. There he continued to write new hymns "that fill the gap between the hymns of the first part of this century and the 'far-out' compositions that have crowded into some churches in the last decade or more."
