We Walk by Faith and Not by Sight
Author: Henry Alford, 1810-1871 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 72 hymnals Lyrics: 1 We walk by faith and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
From him who spoke as none e’er spoke,
But we believe him near.
2 We may not touch his hands and side
Nor follow where he trod,
But in his promise we rejoice
And cry, “My Lord and God!”
3 Help then, O Lord, our unbelief,
And may our faith abound
To call on you when you are near
And seek where you are found.
4 For you, O resurrected Lord,
Are found in means divine:
Beneath the water and the Word,
Beneath the bread and wine.
5 Lord, when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light,
We may behold you as you are
With full and endless sight. Topics: Faith Used With Tune: SHANTI

In Silent Pain the Eternal Son
Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8.8.6 Appears in 3 hymnals First Line: In silent pain th' eternal Son Lyrics: 1 In silent pain th’ eternal Son
Hangs derelict and still;
In darkened day his work is done,
Fulfilled his Father’s will.
Uplifted for the world to see
He hangs in strangest victory,
For in his body on the tree
He carries all our ill.
2 He died that we might die to sin
And live for righteousness;
The earth is stained to make us clean
And bring us into peace.
For peace he came and met its cost;
He gave himself to save the lost;
He loved us to the uttermost
And paid for our release.
3 For strife he came, to bring a sword,
The truth to end all lies;
To rule in us, our patient Lord,
Until all evil dies:
For in his hand he holds the stars,
His voice shall speak to end our wars,
And those who love him see his scars
And look into his eyes. Topics: Lent Used With Tune: REALITY

For our offenses given;
But now at God’s right hand he stands
And brings us life from heaven.
Therefore let us joyful be
And sing to God right thankfully
Loud songs of alleluia!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2 No son of man could conquer death,
Such ruin sin had wrought us.
No innocence was found on earth,
And therefore death had brought us
Into bondage from of old
And ever grew more strong and bold
And held us as its captive.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3 Christ Jesus, God’s own Son, came down,
His people to deliver;
Destroying sin, he took the crown
From death’s pale brow forever.
Stripped of pow’r, no more it reigns;
An empty form alone remains;
Its sting is lost forever.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4 It was a strange and dreadful strife
When life and death contended.
The victory remained with life;
The reign of death was ended.
Holy Scripture plainly says
That death is swallowed up by death;
Its sting is lost forever.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see,
Whom God so freely gave us;
He died on the accursed tree—
So strong his love—to save us.
See, his blood now marks our door;
Faith points to it; death passes o’er,
And Satan cannot harm us.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
6 So let us keep the festival
To which the Lord invites us;
Christ is himself the joy of all,
The sun that warms and lights us.
Now his grace to us imparts
Eternal sunshine to our hearts;
The night of sin is ended.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
7 Then let us feast this Easter Day
On Christ, the bread of heaven;
The Word of grace has purged away
The old and evil leaven.
Christ alone our souls will feed;
He is our meat and drink indeed;
Faith lives upon no other!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Topics: Easter Used With Tune: NORTHRIDGE

What bliss beyond compare:

With all the martyr throng,
Amidst the halls of Zion
Resounding full with song.

The home of God’s elect!
Oh, sweet and blessed country
That eager hearts expect,
Where they who with their leader
Have conquered in the fight
Forever and forever
Are clad in robes of white.
Jesus in mercy bring us
To that dear land of rest
Where sings the host of heaven
Your glorious name to bless.
3 The Christ is ever with them;
The daylight is serene.
The pastures of the blessed
Are ever rich and green.
There is the throne of David;
And there from care released,
The shout of them that triumph,
The song of them that feast.
To God enthroned in glory

The Lamb forever blessed,
The Light that knows no end. Topics: End Time Used With Tune: THAXTED

And all find fresh hope and purpose
In Christ Jesus crucified.

Strangers to God’s heart of love;
But he brought you home in mercy,
Citizens of heav’n above.
Let his love flow out to others;
Let them feel a Father’s care;
That they too may know his welcome
And his countless blessings share.

News of a Lord who loved and came;
Nor known his reconciling Word,
Nor learned to trust a Savior’s name?
2 “To all the world,” to ev’ry place,
Neighbors and friends and far-off lands,
Preach the good news of saving grace;
Go while the Great Commission stands.
3 “Whom shall I send?” Who hears the call,
Constant in prayer, through toil and pain,
Telling of One who died for all,
To bring a lost world home again?
4 “Lord, here am I:” Your fire impart
To this poor, cold, self-centered soul;
Touch but my lips, my hands, my heart,
And make a world for Christ my goal.
5 Spirit of love, within us move:
Spirit of truth, in pow’r come down!
So shall they hear and find and prove
Christ is their life, their joy, their crown. Topics: Missions Used With Tune: KATY

If Christ Had Not Been Raised from Death
Author: Christopher M. Idle, b. 1938 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 If Christ had not been raised from death,
Our faith would be in vain,
Our preaching but a waste of breath,
Our sin and guilt remain.
But now the Lord is ris’n indeed.
He rules in earth and heav’n:
His gospel meets a world of need—
In Christ we are forgiv’n.
2 If Christ still lay within the tomb,
Then death would be the end,
And we should face our final doom
With neither guide nor friend.
But now the Savior is raised up,
So when a Christian dies
We mourn, yet look to God in hope—
In Christ the saints arise!
3 If Christ had not been truly raised,
His Church would live a lie;
His name should nevermore be praised;
His words deserve to die.
But now our great Redeemer lives;
Through him we are restored;
His Word endures, his Church revives
In Christ, our risen Lord. Topics: Easter Used With Tune: UNION CITY

No Tramp of Soldiers' Marching Feet
Author: Timothy Dudley-Smtih, b. 1926 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 No tramp of soldiers’ marching feet
With banners and with drums,
No sound of music’s martial beat:
“The King of glory comes!”
To greet what pomp of kingly pride
No bells in triumph ring,
No city gates swing open wide:
“Behold, behold your King!”
2 And yet he comes. The children cheer;
With palms his path is strown.
With ev’ry step the cross draws near:
The King of glory’s throne.
Astride a colt he passes by
As loud hosannas ring,
Or else the very stones would cry,
“Behold, behold your King!”
3 What fading flow’rs his road adorn;
The palms, how soon laid down!
No bloom or leaf but only thorn
The King of glory’s crown.
The soldiers mock, the rabble cries.
The streets with tumult ring,
As Pilate to the mob replies,
“Behold, behold your King!”
4 Now he who bore for mortals’ sake
The cross and all its pains
And chose a servant’s form to take,
The King of glory reigns.
Hosanna to the Savior’s name
Till heaven’s rafters ring,
And all the ransomed host proclaim,
“Behold, behold your King!” Topics: Palm Sunday Used With Tune: NO TRAMP OF SOLDIERS’ MARCHING FEET
