Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.8.8 with refrain Appears in 511 hymnals Refrain First Line: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Lyrics: 1 O come, O come, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
2 O come, O Wisdom from on high,
Who orders all things mightily;
To us the path of knowledge show,
And teach us in her ways to go.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel!
3 O come, O come, great Lord of might,
Who to your tribes on Sinai's height
In ancient times once gave the law,
In cloud, and majesty, and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
4 O come, O Rod of Jesse's stem,
From ev'ry foe deliver them
That trust your mighty power to save,
And give them vict'ry o'er the grave.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
5 O come, O Key of David, come,
And open wide our heav'nly home;
Make safe the way that leads on high,
And close the path to misery.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
6 O come, O Dayspring, from on high
And cheer us by your drawing nigh;
Disperse the gloomy clouds of night,
And death's dark shadow put to flight.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.
7 O come, Desire of nations, bind
In one the hearts of humankind;
O bid our sad divisions cease,
And be for us our King of Peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to you, O Israel.

That saved a wretch like me!

And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
3 The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
4 Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
5 When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Blessed Feasts of Blessed Martyrs
Author: John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 26 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blessed feasts of blessed martyrs,
Holy women, holy men,
With our love and admiration,
Greet we your return again.
Worthy deeds are theirs, and wonders,
Worthy of the name they bore;
We, with joyful praise and singing,
Honor them for evermore.
2 Faith prevailing, hope unfailing,
Loving Christ with single heart,
Thus they, glorious and victorious
Bravely bore the martyr's part
By contempt of every anguish,
By unyielding battle done;
Victors at the last, they triumph
With the host of angels one.
3 Therefore, all that reign in glory,
Strong and sure with Christ on high,
Join to ours your supplication
When before him we draw nigh,
Praying that, this life completed,
All its fleeting moments past,
By his grace we may be worthy
Of eternal bliss at last. Topics: Saints and Angels Used With Tune: HYMN TO JOY Text Sources: Latin, 12th C.

Alleluia! Sing to Jesus
Author: William C. Dix, 1837-1898 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 216 hymnals First Line: Alleluia! sing to Jesus! Lyrics: 1 Alleluia! sing to Jesus!
His the scepter, his the throne;
Alleluia! his the triumph,
His the victory alone;
Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion
Thunder like a mighty flood;
Jesus out of ev'ry nation
Has redeemed us by his blood.
2 Alleluia! not as orphans
Are we left in sorrow now;
Alleluia! he is near us,
Faith believes, nor questions how:
Though the cloud from sight received him,
When the forty days were o'er,
Shall our hearts forget his promise,
"I am with you evermore"?
3 Alleluia! Bread of Angels,
Here on earth our food, our stay!
Alleluia! here the sinful
Flee to you from day to day:
Intercessor, friend of sinners,
Earth's redeemer, plead for me,
Where the songs of all the sinless
Sweep across the crystal sea.
4 Alleluia! King eternal,
You the Lord of lords we own:
Alleluia! born of Mary,
Earth your footstool, heav'n your throne:
You, within the veil, have entered,
Robed in flesh, our great high priest;
Here on earth both priest and victim
In the eucharistic feast.

The sun shone out with fairer light,
When to their longing eyes restored,
The apostles saw their risen Lord.

His wounded hands and feet he showed;
Those scars their solemn witness gave
That Christ was risen from the grave.
3 O Jesus, King of gentleness,
Who with your grace our hearts possess
That we may give you all our days
The willing tribute of our praise.
4 O Lord of all, with us abide
In this our joyful Easter-tide;
From ev'ry weapon death can wield
Your own redeemed for ever shield.
5 All praise, to you, O risen Lord,
Now both by heav'n and earth adored;
To God the Father equal praise,
And Spirit blest, our songs we raise. Topics: Easter Used With Tune: PUER NOBIS Text Sources: Latin, 5th C.
