Christ, The Life Of All The Living
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Ernst Christoph Homburg Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Christ, the Life of all the living,
Christ, the Death of death our foe,
Who, Thyself for me once giving
To the darkest depths of woe,
Madest reconciliation
And didst save me from damnation:
Praise and glory ever be,
Blessed Jesus, unto Thee.
2 Thou, O Christ, hast taken on Thee
Bonds and stripes, a cruel rod;
Pain and scorn were heaped upon Thee,
0 Thou sinless Son of God!
Thus didst Thou my soul deliver
From the bonds of sin forever.
Praise and glory ever be,
Blessed Jesus, unto Thee.
3 Heartless scoffers did surround Thee,
Treating Thee with cruel scorn,
E'en with piercing thorns they crowned Thee;
All disgrace Thou, Lord, hast borne,
That as Thine Thou mightest own me
And with heav'nly glory crown me.
Praise and glory ever be,
Blessed Jesus, unto Thee.
4 Thou hast suffered men to bruise Thee,
That from pain I might be free;
Falsely did Thy foes accuse Thee--
Thence I gain security;
Comfortless once Thou didst languish,
Me to comfort in my anguish.
Praise and glory ever be,
Blessed Jesus, unto Thee.

Christ, The Life Of All The Living
All Depends On Our Possessing
Author: Unknown; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 27 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All depends on our possessing
God's abundant grace and blessing,
Tho' all earthly wealth depart.
He who trusts with faith unshaken
In his God is not forsaken
And e'er keeps a dauntless heart.
2 He who hitherto hath fed me
And to many joys hath led me,
Is and ever shall be mine.
He who did so gently school me,
He who still doth guide and rule me,
Will remain my Help divine.
3 Many spend their lives in fretting
Over trifles and in getting
Things that have no solid ground.
I shall strive to win a treasure
That will bring me lasting pleasure
And that now is seldom found.
4 When with sorrow I am stricken,
Hope my heart anew will quicken,
All my longing shall be stilled.
To His loving-kindness tender
Soul and body I surrender;
For in Him alone I build.
5 Well He knows what best to grant me;
All the longing hopes that haunt me,
Joy and sorrow, have their day.
I shall doubt His wisdom never--
As God wills, so be it ever--
I to Him commit my way.
6 If on earth my days He lengthen,
He my weary soul will strengthen;
All my trust in Him I place.
Earthly wealth is not abiding,
Like a stream away is gliding;
Safe I anchor in His grace.

Jesus Christ As King Is Reigning
Author: H. Brueckner; Phil. Fr. Hiller Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ as King is reigning,
God His mighty rule ordaining:
All things at His feet shall lie.
Let each tongue as Lord confess Him
And in homage praise and bless Him;
For His throne is built on high.

Cherubim His fame declaring,
He is seated on His throne,
Ruling over earth and heaven;
For to Him are all things given
By the Father as His own.
3 Christians here on earth, adore Him;
Saints in heaven, come before Him,
Shout, ye hosts that carry palms;
Ye who glist'ning crowns are wearing,
Ye who harps of gold are bearing,
Praise ye Him with tuneful psalms.
4 And I, too, a sinner lowly,
Will exalt the Lord most holy,
Saying, as I prostrate lie:
Jesus Christ as King is reigning,
God His mighty rule ordaining:
Glory to the Lord on high. Topics: Savior; Processionals and Recessionals General Used With Tune: HILDESHEIM

By the cross of Jesus standing
Author: Horatius Bonar, 1808-1889 Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 By the cross of Jesus standing,
Love our straitened souls expanding,
Taste we now the peace and grace!
Health from yonder tree is flowing,
Heav'nly light is on it glowing,
From the blessed Suff'rer's face.
2 Here is pardon's pledge and token,
Guilt's strong chain for ever broken,
Righteous peace securely made;
Brightens now the brow once shaded,
Freshens now the face once faded,
Peace with God now makes us glad.
3 All the love of God is yonder,
Love above all thought and wonder,
Perfect love that casts out fear!
Strength, like dew, is here distilling,
Glorious life our souls is filling,
Life eternal, only here!
4 Here the living water welleth;
Here the Rock, now smitten, telleth
Of salvation freely giv'n:
This the fount of love and pity,
This the pathway to the city,
This the very gate of heav'n.

The Lord Be Praised! I'm Homeward Bound
Author: J. Lassen Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound,
To where my Father's house is found,
Beyond death's gloomy portal,
Where God's own Son, my Savior blest,
Receives me as His welcomed guest
Among the saints immortal.
2 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound,
Where sin and death, the grave's sad mound,
Forever are forgotten;
Where living fountains ever flow,
And trees their fruit each month shall grow
For those of God begotten.
3 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound,
Where I shall join the host renowned
Before His throne assembling,
And there with all in love shall dwell
In glory, which no tongue can tell,
Relieved of fear and trembling.
4 The Lord be praised! I'm homeward bound,
Where all the saints with beauty crowned
Sing to His praise and glory;
Where I my problems understand,
As they were solved by God's own hand,
And tell the blessed story.
5 So, then, with hope we onward press
Through sorrow, trouble, and distress,
In confidence and wonder,
Until by angels borne on high,
With sweet relief and happy sigh,
Our eyes we open yonder.

Zion, to thy Savior singing
Author: Thomas Aquinas Meter: 8.8.7.8.8.7 Appears in 18 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Zion, to thy Savior singing,
To thy prince and shepherd bringing
Sweetest hymns of love and praise,
Thou wilt never reach the measure
Of His worth, by all the treasure
Of thy most ecstatic lays.
2 Of all wonders that can thrill thee,
And with adoration fill thee,
What than this can greater be,
That Himself to thee He giveth?
He that eateth ever liveth,
For the Bread of life is He.
3 Fill thy lips to overflowing
With sweet praise, His mercy showing
Who this heavenly table spread:
On this day so glad and holy,
To each longing spirit lowly
Giveth He the living bread.
4 Here the King hath spread His table,
Whereon eyes of faith are able
Christ our Passover to trace:
Shadows of the law are going,
Light and life and truth inflowing,
Night to day is giving place.
5 Lo, this blessed food descending
Heavenly love is hither sending.
Hungry lips on earth to feed:
So the paschal lamb was given,
So the manna came from heaven,
Isaac was His type indeed.
6 O good Shepherd, bread life-giving,
Us, Thy grace and life receiving,
Feed and shelter evermore;
Thou on earth our weakness guiding,
We in heaven with Thee abiding
With all saints will Thee adore. Topics: The Church Year Holy Thursday; The Church Year Holy Thursday Used With Tune: [Zion, to thy Savior singing]
