all creation join to say:
raise your joys and triumphs high;
sing, you heavens, and earth reply:
love's redeeming work is done!
Fought the fight, the battle won:
see, our sun's eclipse has passed
see, the light returns at last!
2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal:
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids Him rise —
Christ has opened Paradise;
lives again our glorious King;
where, O Death, is now your sting?
Once He died, our souls to save;
where's your victory, boasting grave?
3 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:
hail the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to You by both be given;
every knee to You shall bow,
risen Christ, triumphant now!

Take comfort, Christians, when your friends
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 24 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Take comfort, Christians, when your friends
in Jesus fall asleep;
their better being never ends;
why then dejected weep?
2 Why inconsolable, as those
to whom no hope is giv’n?
Death is the messenger of peace,
and calls the soul to heav’n.
3 As Jesus dy'd, and rose again
victorious from the dead;
so his disciples rise, and reign
with their triumphant Head.
4 The time draws nigh, when from the clouds
Christ shall with shouts descend,
and the last trumpet’s awful voice
the heavens and earth shall rend.
5 Then they who live shall changed be,
and they who sleep shall wake;
the graves shall yield their ancient charge,
and earth’s foundations shake.
6 The saints of God, from death set free,
with joy shall mount on high;
the heav’nly hosts with praises loud
shall meet them in the sky,
7 Together to their Father’s house
with joyful hearts they go;
and dwell for ever with the Lord,
beyond the reach of woe.
8 A few short years of evil past,
we reach the happy shore,
where death-divided friends at last
shall meet, to part no more. Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 Used With Tune: BALLERMA
Take comfort, Christians, when your friends

We sing the praise of Him who died
Author: Thomas Kelly, 1769-1855 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 192 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of Him who died,
of Him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope though all deride,
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, 'God is love';
He bears our sins upon the tree;
He brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross! it takes our guilt away:
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup;
4 It makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light:
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Used With Tune: WALTON (FULDA)

Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Appears in 847 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hail to the Lord's Anointed,
great David's greater Son!
Hail, in the time appointed,
His reign on earth begun!
He comes to break oppression,
to set the captive free,
to take away transgression,
and rule in equity.
2 He comes with help most speedy
to those who suffer wrong;
to save the poor and needy,
and help the weak be strong;
to give them songs for sighing,
their darkness turn to light,
whose souls, condemned and dying,
are precious in His sight.
3 He shall come down like showers
upon the fruitful earth;
love, joy, hope, like flowers,
spring in His path to birth:
before Him on the mountains
shall peace, the herald, go,
and righteousness in fountains,
from hill to valley flow.
4 Kings shall fall down before Him,
and gold and incense bring;
all nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing:
to Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend;
His kingdom still increasing,
A kingdom without end.
5 In all the world victorious,
He on His throne shall rest,
from age to age more glorious,
all-blessing and all-blessed;
the tide of time shall never
His covenant remove;
His Name shall stand for ever,
His changeless name of love. Topics: Christ Promised His First Advent Used With Tune: CRÜGER

When Israel out of Egypt went
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Israel out of Egypt went,
and did his dwelling change,
when Jacob’s house went out from those
that were of language strange,
2 Judah became his holy place,
Israel his own domain;
3 the sea beheld, and quickly fled,
Jordan turned back again.
4 Like rams the mountains, and like lambs
the hills skipped to and fro.
5 O sea, why fledd’st thou? Jordan, back
why wast thou driven so?
6 Ye mountains great, wherefore was it
that ye did skip like rams?
And wherefore was it, little hills,
that ye did leap like lambs?
7 O at the presence of the Lord,
earth, tremble thou for fear,
what time the presence of the God
of Jacob doth appear:
8 who in the desert from the rock
did pools of water bring;
and by his power did turn the flint
into a water-spring. Scripture: Psalm 114 Used With Tune: CORONA
When Israel out of Egypt went
Where high the heav'nly temple stands
Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 205 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Where high the heav'nly temple stands,
the house of God not made with hands,
a great High Priest our nature wears,
the guardian of mankind appears.
2 He who for men their surety stood,
and pour'd on earth his precious blood,
pursues in heav'n his mighty plan,
the Saviour and the friend of man.
3 Though now ascended up on high,
he bends on earth a brother's eye;
partaker of the human name,
he knows the frailty of our frame.
4 Our fellow-suff'rer yet retains
a fellow-feeling of our pains;
and still remembers in the skies
his tears, his agonies, and cries.
5 In ev'ry pang that rends the heart
the Man of sorrows had a part;
he sympathizes with our grief,
and to the suff'rer sends relief.
6 With boldness, therefore, at the throne,
let us make all our sorrows known;
and ask the aid of heav'nly pow'r
to help us in the evil hour. Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Used With Tune: ELY
Where high the heav'nly temple stands
How sweet the name of Jesus sounds

in a believer's ear!
It soothes our sorrows, heals our wounds
and drives away our fear.
2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
and calms the troubled breast;
it satisfies the hungry soul,
and gives the weary rest.
3 Dear Name, the rock on which I build,
my shield and hiding-place;
my never-failing treasury, filled
with boundless stores of grace!
4 Jesus, my shepherd, brother, friend,
my prophet, priest, and king;
my Lord, my life, my way, my end —
accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
and cold my warmest thought;
but when I see You as You are,
I'll praise You as I ought.
6 Till then I would Your love proclaim
with every fleeting breath;
and may the music of Your name
refresh my soul in death. Topics: The Temple Praise Used With Tune: LLOYD Text Sources: Adapt.: Compilers of Hymns of Today's Church, 1982

I hate the men of double mind
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: SAMECH THE FIFTEENTH PART
113 I hate the men of double mind,
but love thy law do I.
114 My shield and hiding-place thou art:
I on thy word rely.
115 All ye that evil-doers are
from me depart away;
for the commandments of my God
I purpose to obey.
116 According to thy faithful word
uphold and stablish me,
that I may live, and of my hope
ashamed never be.
117 Hold thou me up so shall I be
in peace and safety still;
and to thy statutes have respect
continually I will.
118 Thou tread'st down all that love to stray,
false their deceit doth prove.
119 Vile men, like dross, thou putt'st away;
therefore thy law I love.
120 For fear of thee my very flesh
doth tremble, all dismayed,
and of thy righteous judgments, Lord,
my soul is much afraid. Scripture: Psalm 119:113-120 Used With Tune: ABBEY
I hate the men of double mind
