Easter Morning

Author: Myra G. Plantz, 1856-1914 Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 First Line: From the sea the mist floats slowly Lyrics: 1. From the sea the mist floats slowly, While night’s tapers, faint and holy, Fade beyond the dawning gray; Birds within the nest are waking; Far above the East is breaking, Promise of returning day. 2. Seraphim who saw unfolding Earth’s first morn are now beholding That which will all ages thrill— They who sang in heavenly places At His birth, and hid their faces From His shame, with awe are still. 3. For behold where they have laid Him— Empty is the tomb they made Him— Death lies conquered at His feet. See, He waits to greet the morning, Fairest thing the earth adorning, All love’s sacrifice complete. 4. Miracle of love that giveth Life from death, because He liveth; O, the crown of victory; That, while angels fall before Him, Human hearts can best adore Him! He is risen, soul, for thee!

In Thy Glorious Resurrection

Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 7 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. In Thy glorious resurrection, Lord, we see a world’s erection, Man in Thee is glorified. Bliss, for which the patriarchs panted, Joys, by holy psalmists chanted, Now in Thee are verified. 2. Oracles of former ages, Veiled in dim prophetic pages, Now lie open to the sight; Now the types, which glimmered darkling In the twilight gloom, are sparkling, In the blaze of noonday light. 3. Isaac from the wood is risen; Joseph issues from the prison; See the Paschal Lamb which saves; Israel through the sea is landed, Pharaoh and his hosts are stranded, And o’erwhelmèd in the waves. 4. See the cloudy pillar leading, Rock refreshing, manna feeding; Joshua fights and Moses prays; See the lifted wave-sheaf, cheering Pledge of harvest-fruits appearing, Joyful dawn of happy days. 5. Samson see at night uptearing Gaza’s brazen gates, and bearing To the top of Hebron’s hill; Jonah comes from stormy surges, From his three-days’ grave emerges, Bids beware of coming ill. 6. So Thy resurrection’s glory Sheds a light on ancient story; And it casts a forward ray, Beacon light of solemn warning, To the dawn of that great morning Ushering in the judgment day. 7. Ever since Thy death and rising Thou the nations art baptizing In Thy death’s similitude; Dead to sin, and ever dying, And our members mortifying, May we walk with life renewed! 8. Forth from Thy first Easter going, Sundays are for ever flowing Onward to a boundless sea; Lord, may they for Thee prepare us, On a holy river bear us To a calm eternity!

Near the Cross Was Mary Weeping

Author: Jacobus de Benedictis Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 57 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 Near the cross was Mary weeping, There her mournful station keeping, Gazing on her dying Son: There in speechless anguish groaning, Yearning, trembling, sighing, moaning, Thro' her soul the sword had gone. 2 When no eye its pity gave us, When there was no arm to save us, He His love and power displayed: By His stripes He wrought our healing, By His death our life revealing, He for us the ransom paid. 3 Jesus, may Thy love constrain us, That from sin we may refrain us, In Thy griefs may deeply grieve; Thee our best affections giving, To Thy glory ever living, May we in Thy glory live. Amen.

In Her Lord His Church Rejoices

Author: Adam of St. Victor, 12th Century; J. M.H. Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 1 hymnal Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1 In her Lord His Church rejoices, Whom the host of heavenly voices Welcome to His earthly throne: Peace from Heav’n their song reciteth, Earth to Heav’n it reuniteth, Church with angels now are one. 2 To the flesh the Word is chainèd As it had been fore-ordainèd: Unapproached by mortal man, Bears a virgin God’s own Temple, Nor exemplar nor exemple, Having since the worlds began. 3 ’Tis a marvel past discerning, That the bush with fire is burning, Yet the bush it not consumes; Dews the skies give, mists the mountains, Melt the clouds, the hills are fountains, And the Root of Jesse blooms. 4 From the Root the Flower upgroweth, As the oracle foreshoweth Filling the rapt seer with joy: Jesse’s Root was David’s pattern, So the Rod the Virgin matern, And its flower her heavenly Boy. 5 Where is gladness more abounding? Where the plummet deep for sounding Such abysmal mystery? Here is theme for endless wonder; Saints and angels, praising, ponder— God an infant deigns to be! 6 Every charm the Flower attendeth: It to inner sense commendeth Seven-fold grace’s rich perfume: Let us in this Flower delight us, To the feast which doth invite us With its fair and fragrant bloom. 7 Jesu, Branch that shall not wither, May the day which brought Thee hither, Bring Thy people joy and peace: Flower and fruit of virgin culture, Vital in Thy brief sepulture, Never shall Thy praises cease.
