Christ Is Alive!

Author: Brian Wren Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Matching Instances: 43 First Line: Christ is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. The cross stands empty to the sky. Let streets and homes with praises ring. Love, drowned in death, shall never die. 2 Christ is alive! No longer bound To distant years in Palestine, But saving, healing, here and now, And touching every place and time. 3 Not throned afar, remotely high, Untouched, unmoved by human pains, But daily, in the midst of life, Our Savior in the Godhead reigns. 4 In every insult, rift and war, Where color, scorn or wealth divide, Christ suffers still, yet loves the more, And lives, where even hope has died. 5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring Good news to this and every age, Till earth and sky and ocean ring With joy, with justice, love and praise.

Author: Benjamin Beddome Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 94 hymnals Matching Instances: 8 Lyrics: 1. Shout, for the blessèd Jesus reigns; Through distant lands His triumphs spread; And sinners, freed from endless pains, Own Him their Savior and their head. 2. He calls His chosen from afar; They all at Zion’s gates arrive; Those who were dead in sin before By sovereign grace are made alive. 3. Gentiles and Jews His laws obey; Nations remote their offerings bring, And unconstrained their homage pay To their exalted God and king. 4. O may His holy church increase, His Word and Spirit still prevail, While angels celebrate His praise, And saints His growing glories hail. 5. Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb, From all below, and all above! In lofty songs exalt His name, In songs as lasting as His love. Used With Tune: TRURO
