As The Dawn Was Breaking

Author: Rufus Buzzard Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: As the dawn was calmly breaking Refrain First Line: Oh, spread the message far and wide Lyrics: 1 As the dawn was calmly breaking, On that glorious Easter day, The great truth in mystery shrouded, Proved a blest reality. Jesus Christ the wondrous Prophet Who had died upon the tree, Now had vanquished death—victorious, And thus set the captive free. Refrain: Oh, spread the message far and wide: Jesus lives and reigns on high; He has vanquished His last foe In His earth-life here below And is coming soon, but never more to die. 2 Hark! the verdant earth is quaking, Under Heav’n’s potential sway; For Jehovah’s faithful angel Came and rolled the stone away. He is risen, was the message, And again the angel said, Why come ye to see the living, Here among the silent dead? [Refrain] 3 As they left in fear and trembling, There was one who lingered long, And she stood and wept for sorrow, Close beside that vacant tomb. But her tears to glad fruition Changed, when Jesus met her there, For His loving voice so gentle, Soon subdued her vain despair. [Refrain] 4 Hallelujah! Christ has risen, Victor o’er that dark domain. Earthly foes could not subdue Him, Tho’ His body they had slain. I’m the life and resurrection, Was the saying that He kept; For from death He rose victorious, The first fruits of them that slept.

Choose ye today: Soon will your time of probation be o’er, Then will the Spirit entreat you no more, Jesus no longer will stand at the door— Choose ye today. 4. The bondage of sin—will you break it? Choose ye today: The water of life—will you take it? Choose ye today. Come to the arms that are open for you, Hide in the wounds that by faith you may view; Death ere the morrow your steps may pursue— Choose ye today.

All is fulfilled—my heart, record

Author: Johann E. Schmidt, 1670-1745; Arthur T. Russell Meter: 8.8.9.9.10.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 All is fulfilled—my heart, record The dying words of thy dear Lord. When He those bitter pains sustainèd, Which on the cross thy life obtainèd, He who did all things well, Then bowed His head, Exclaiming, "It is finishèd." 2 All is fulfilled—the cross hath wrought Whate’er the Law and prophets taught. Where all the strength of nature failèd, There Jesu’s wounds for all availèd. That which before the worlds Heav’n counselèd, Now through His death is finishèd. 3 All is fulfilled—all satisfied: The Father lays His wrath aside; Our peace is made, and justice stillèd, Since God’s own Son hath all fulfillèd. What then shall wake the heart To anxious dread? Believe now, "It is finishèd." 4 All is fulfilled—I am made free Possessed of true felicity: Now Jesus sin and death subdueth, And us with life and grace reneweth; So when to dissolution Worlds are led, This stays us—"It is finishèd."

A Crowd Fills The Court Of The Temple

Author: Frederic W. Goadby Meter: 9.8.9.8 D Appears in 8 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A crowd fills the court of the temple, A sound as of praise stirs the air, Jerusalem thrills with emotion, The Lord of the temple is there! In vain is the priestly displeasure To silence the anthems that ring; Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! The children all joyfully sing. 2 And if in this temple of worship, Where now we are met in His name, The Lord should appear in His beauty, Himself His own Gospel proclaim, What anthems of grateful devotion Around Him would echo and ring; Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! The children would joyfully sing. 3 Lord! make each young heart Thine own temple, Reveal Thy sweet presence within, Illumine our minds by Thy coming, Expel every longing for sin: And when in our souls we adore Thee, How pure the glad praise we shall bring! Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! The children will joyfully sing. 4 And when in that temple of glory, Where falls never shadow of night, Where sorrow and sin never sadden, And Thou shalt Thyself be the light; When round Thee the ransomed are thronging, High Heav’n with their praises will ring, Hosanna! Hosanna! Hosanna! Thy children for ever will sing. Used With Tune: LYSTRA Text Sources: The School Hymnal by W. R. Stevenson (London: E. Marlborough & Company, 1880)
