And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near,
And seek where You are found.

In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are,
With full and endless sight.

Crown Him with Many Crowns

hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own;
awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity.
2 Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed o'er the grave,
and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save;
his glories now we sing who died and rose on high,
who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.

rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified;
no angels in the sky can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends their burning eye at mysteries so bright.

creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

of triumphant gladness;
God hath brought his Israel
into joy from sadness:
loosed from Pharoah's bitter yoke
Jacob's sons and daughters
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.
2 'Tis the spring of souls today:
Christ hath burst his prison,
and from three days' sleep in death
as a sun hath risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendor,
with the royal feast of feasts,
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither might the gates of death,
nor the tomb's dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold thee as a mortal:
but today amidst thine own
thou didst stand, bestowing
thine own peace which evermore
passeth human knowing.

An Upper Room Did Our Lord Prepare
Author: Fred Pratt Green Appears in 26 hymnals Scripture: John 20:21 Lyrics: An upper room did our Lord prepare
for those he loved until the end:
and his disciples still gather there.
to celebrate their Risen Friend.
A lasting gift Jesus gave his own:
to share his bread, his loving cup,
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
he by his Cross shall lift us up.
And after Supper he washed their feet,
for service, too, is sacrament.
In him our joy shall be made complete--
sent out to serve, as he was sent.
No end there is! We depart in peace.
He loves beyond our uttermost:
In every room in our Father's house
he will be there as Lord and Host.

Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Creed Used With Tune: EISENACH (LEIPZIG) Text Sources: Latin, 15th century

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.4.4.8.8 with alleluias Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: John 20:19-20 Lyrics: PART ONE -
1 Light's glittering morn bedecks the sky;
heaven thunders forth its victor-cry:
Alleluia.
The glad earth shouts her triumph high,
and groaning hell makes wild reply:
Alleluia.
2 While he, the King, the mighty King,
despoiling death of all its sting,
and trampling down the powers of night,
brings forth his ransomed saints to light:
3 His tomb of late the threefold guard
of watch and stone and seal had barred;
but now, in pomp and triumph high,
he comes from death to victory:
4 The pains of hell are loosed at last,
the days of mourning now are past;
an angel robed in light hath said,
'The Lord is risen from the dead':
PART TWO -
5 O bitter the apostles' pain
for their dear lord so lately slain,
by rebel servants doomed to die
a death of cruel agony:
6 With gentle voice the angel gave
the women tidings at the grave:
'Fear not, your Master shall ye see;
he goes before to Galilee':
7 Then, hastening on their eager way
the joyful tidings to convey,
their Lord they met, their living Lord,
and falling at his feet adored:
8 His faithful followers with speed
to Galilee forthwith proceed,
that there once more they may behold
the Lord's dear face, as he foretold:
PART THREE -
9 That Eastertide with joy was bright,
the sun shone out with fairer light,
when, to their longing eyes restored,
the glad apostles saw their Lord:
2 He bade them see his hands, his side,
where yet the glorious wounds abide;
the tokens true which made it plain
their Lord indeed was risen again:
3 Jesu, the King of gentleness,
do thou thyself our hearts possess,
that we may give thee all our days
the tribute of our grateful praise:

Jesus, Lord, Redeemer
Author: Patrick Miller Kirkland, b. 1857 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: John 20:19-23 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lord, Redeemer,
Once for sinners slain,
Crucified in weakness,
Raised in pow'r to reign,
Dwelling with the Father,
Endless in your days,
Unto youe be glory,
Honor, blessing, praise.
2 Faithful ones, communing,
Toward the close of day,
Desolate and weary,
Met you in the way.
So, when sun is setting,
Come to us, and show
All the truth, and in us
Make our hearts to glow.
3 In the upper chamber,
Where the ten, in fear,
Gathered sad and troubled,
There you did appear.
So, O Lord, this evening,
Bid our sorrow cease;
Breathing on us, Saviour,
Say, "I give you peace."
