Lo, he sets in blood no more! 2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Christ has burst the gates of hell; Death in vain forbids his rise; Christ has opened Paradise. 3 Lives again our glorious King; Where, O Death, is now thy sting? Dying once, he all doth save; Where thy victory, O grave? 4 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head; Made like him, like him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. 5 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to thee by both be given: Thee we greet triumphant now; Hail, the Resurrection thou! Topics: The Christian Year Eastertide Used With Tune: SAVANNAH (HERRNHUT)

Holy Lamb, Who Thee Confess

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 33 hymnals Lyrics: 1. Holy Lamb, who Thee confess, Followers of Thy holiness, Thee they ever keep in view, Ever ask, What shall we do? 2. Governed by Thy only will, All Thy words we would fulfill, Would in all Thy footsteps go, Walk as Jesus walked below. 3. While Thou didst on earth appear, Servant to Thy servants here, Mindful of Thy place above, All Thy life was prayer and love. 4. Such our whole employment be, Works of faith and charity; Works of love on man bestowed, Secret intercourse with God. 5. Early in the temple met, Let us still our Savior greet; Nightly to the mount repair, Join our praying pattern there. 6. There by wrestling faith obtain Power to work for God again, Power His image to retrieve, Power, like Thee, our Lord, to live. 7. Vessels, instruments of grace, Pass we thus our happy days ’Twixt the mount and multitude, Doing or receiving good; 8. Glad to pray and labor on, Till our earthly course is run, Till we, on the sacred tree, Bow the head and die like Thee. Used With Tune: SAVANNAH Text Sources: Hymns for the Use of Families, 1767
