Victory over Death thro' Christ
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:57 First Line: When death appears before my sight Lyrics: 1 When death appears before my sight
In all his dire array,
Unequal to the dreadful fight,
My courage dies away.
2 But see, my glorious leader nigh!
My Lord, my Savior lives;
Before him death's pale terrors fly,
And my faint heart revives.
3 He left his dazzling throne above,
He met the tyrant's dart,
And (O! amazing power of love;)
Receiv'd it in his heart.
4 No more, O grim destroyer, boast,
Thy universal sway'
To heaven-born souls thy sting is lost,
Thy night, the gates of day.
5 Lord, I commit my soul to thee,
Accept the sacred trust,
Receive this nobler part of me,
And watch my sleeping dust:
6 'Till that illustrious morning come,
When all thy saints shall rise,
And cloth'd in full immortal bloom,
Attend thee to the skies.
7 When thy triumphant armies sing
The honors of thy name,
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With glory to the lamb;
8 O let me join the raptur'd lays,
And with the blissful throng,
Resound salvation, power, and praise,
In everlasting song.

Death! thy sting is gone forever!
He who deigned for me to die,
lives, the bands of death to sever.
He shall raise me from the dust:
Jesus is my hope and trust.
2 Jesus lives, and reigns supreme;
and, his kingdom still remaining,
I shall also be with him,
ever living, ever reigning.
God has promised; be it must:
Jesus is my hope and trust.
3 Jesus lives, and by his grace,
vict'ry o'er my passions giving,
I will cleanse my heart and ways,
ever to his glory living.
Me he raises from the dust:
Jesus is my hope and trust.
4 Jesus lives! I know full well
naught from him my heart can sever,
life nor death nor pow'rs of hell,
joy nor grief, henceforth forever.
None of all his saints is lost:
Jesus is my hope and trust.
5 Jesus lives and death is now
but my entrance into glory.
Courage, then, my soul, for thou
hast a crown of life before thee;
thou shalt find thy hopes were just:
Jesus is the Christian's trust.

Day of Judgment! Day of Wonders!
Author: John Newton Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 341 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:56-57 Lyrics: 1 Day of judgment! Day of wonders!
Hark! the trumpet's awesome sound,
louder than a thousand thunders,
shakes the vast creation round.
How the summons
will the sinner's heart confound!
2 See the Judge, our nature wearing,
clothed in majesty divine.
You who long for his appearing
then shall say, "This God is mine!"
Gracious Savior,
own me on that day as thine.
3 At his call the dead awaken,
rise to life from earth and sea.
All the powers of nature, shaken
by his looks, prepare to flee.
Careless sinner,
what will then become of thee?
4 But to those who have confessed,
loved, and served the Lord below,
he will say, "Come near, you blessed,
see the kingdom I bestow;
you forever
shall my love and glory know."

'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said
Author: Charles William Everest (1814-1877) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 297 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:55 Lyrics: 1 'Take up your cross,' the Saviour said,
'if you would my disciple be;
take up your cross, with willing heart,
and humbly follow after me.'
2 Take up your cross; let not its weight
fill your weak soul with vain alarm:
his strength shall bear your spirit up,
and brace your heart, and nerve your arm.
3 Take up your cross, nor heed the shame,
and let your foolish pride be still:
the Lord refused not even to die
upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up your cross, then, in his strength,
and calmly every danger brave;
it guides you to a better home,
and leads to victory o'er the grave.
5 Take up your cross and follow Christ,
nor think till death to lay it down;
for only those who bear the cross
may hope to wear the glorious crown. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death; Christian Year Lent; Discipleship Used With Tune: BRESLAU
