the victory of life is won;
the song of triumph has begun, hallelujah!

but Christ their legions has dispersed:
let shouts of holy joy outburst, hallelujah!
3 He closed the ancient gates of hell,
the bars from heaven's high portals fell;
let hymns of praise his triumphs tell, hallelujah!

glorious in majesty to reign;
O let us swell the joyful strain, hallelujah! Used With Tune: VICTORY Text Sources: Latin, 17th century

Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult
Author: Mrs. C. F. Alexander, 1818-95 Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 963 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Festivals and Other Holy Days: Proper Lyrics: 1 Jesus calls us! O'er the tumult
Of our life's wild restless sea
Day by day his voice is sounding,
Saying, 'Christian follow me':
2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it
By the Galilean lake,
Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for his dear sake.
3 Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store,
From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, 'Christian, love me more'.
4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,
Still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
'Christian, love me more than these'.
5 Jesus calls us! By thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear thy call,
Give our hearts to thy obedience,
Serve and love thee best of all. Used With Tune: ST ANDREW

O Little Town of Bethlehem
Author: Phillips Brooks Meter: 8.6.8.6.7.6.8.6 Appears in 879 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Christmas Lyrics: 1 O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie;
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.
2 For Christ is born of Mary;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth;
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.
Amen. Scripture: Luke 2:4 Used With Tune: ST. LOUIS

Come, you faithful, raise the strain

of triumphant gladness;
God has brought his 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 his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendour,
with the royal feast of feasts,
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Christian hearts,
which, with true affection,
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither could the gates of death,
nor the grave's dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal,
hold you as a mortal.
Here today amid your own
now you stand, bestowing
your own peace, which evermore
passes human knowing. Scripture: Exodus 14:15-22 Used With Tune: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM
Come, you faithful, raise the strain

Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us;
Let us find our rest in thee.
Israel's Strength and Consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art,
Dear Desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.
2 Born thy people to deliver;
Born a child and yet a king!
Born to reign in us forever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.
By thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne. Used With Tune: JEFFERSON

The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 606 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Maundy Thursday Lyrics: 1 The Lord's my shepherd, I'll not want.
He makes me down to lie
in pastures green: he leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
even for his own name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk through death's dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill:
for thou art with me; and thy rod
and staff me comfort still.
4 My table thou hast furnishèd
in presence of my foes;
my head thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.
5 Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me:
and in God's house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be. Scripture: Psalm 23 Used With Tune: CRIMOND Text Sources: The Scottish Psalter, 1929

Tell of peace, thus says our God;
Comfort those who sit in darkness,
Mourning 'neath their sorrow’s load.
Speak you to Jerusalem
of the peace that waits for them;
Tell her that her sins I cover
And her warfare now is over.
2 Hark, the herald’s voice is crying
In the desert far and near,
Bidding all men to repentance,
Since the kingdom now is here.
Oh, that warning cry obey!
Now prepare for God a way;
Let the valleys rise to meet him
And the hills bow down to greet him.
3 Make you straight what long was crooked;
Make the rougher places plain.
Let your hearts be true and humble,
As befits his holy reign.
For the glory of the Lord
Now on earth is shed abroad;
And all flesh shall see the token
That his word is never broken.
Amen. Scripture: Isaiah 40:1-8 Used With Tune: PSALM 42
Comfort, Comfort You My People

Let all their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,

Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
3 No more let sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as the curse is found.
4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders, wonders of his love.

ya vino el Señor.
En vuestras almas preparad

Joy to the World (Gozo al mundo)
'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 302 hymnals Topics: Christian Year Lent Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross with willing heart
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak soul with vain alarm;
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
the Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home,
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 Used With Tune: BRESLAU
'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said
