On thee the high and lowly before th'eternal throne sing "Holy, holy, holy" to the great Thee-in-One. 2 On thee at the creation, the light first had its birth, on thee for our salvation Christ rose from depths of earth; on thee our Lord victorious, the Spirit sent from heav'n, and thus on thee most glorious, a triple light was giv'n. 3 New graces ever gaining from this our day of rest, we reach the rest remaining to spirits of the blest. To Holy Ghost be praises, to Father and to Son; the church her voice upraises to thee, blest Three-in-One. Used With Tune: CRÜGER

Hymn 44 Part 1

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 642 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:6 First Line: He dies! the friend of sinners dies! Lyrics: He dies! the friend of sinners dies! Lo! Salem's daughters weep around; A solemn darkness veils the skies; A sudden trembling shakes the ground. Come, saints, and drop a tear or two For him who groaned beneath your load: He shed a thousand drops for you, A thousand drops of richer blood. Here's love and grief beyond degree, The Lord of glory dies for men! But lo! what sudden joys we see; Jesus the dead revives again! The rising God forsakes the tomb! The tomb in vain forbids his rise; Cherubic legions guard him home, And shout him welcome to the skies Break off your fears, ye saints, and tell How high our great Deliv'rer reigns; Sing how he spoiled the hosts of hell, And led the monster Death in chains. Say, "Live for ever, wondrous King! Born to redeem, and strong to save; Then ask the monster, "Where's thy sting?" And, "Where's thy vict'ry, boasting Grave?"

Help us, O Lord! descend and bring Salvation from thy throne. 4 Blest be the Lord, who comes to men With messages of grace; Who comes, in God his Father's name, To save our sinful race. 5 Hosanna! in the highest strains The church on earth can raise; The highest heavens, in which he reigns, Shall give him nobler praise.

Comfort to such who seek a risen JESUS

Appears in 157 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:5-6 First Line: Ye humble Souls that seek the LORD Lyrics: 1 Ye humble Souls that seek the LORD, Chase all your Fears away; And bow with Pleasure down to see The Place where JESUS lay, 2 Thus low the Lord of Life was brought; Such Wonders Love can do; Thus cold in Death, that Bosom lay, Which throbb'd and bled for you. 3 A Moment give a Loose to Grief, Let grateful Sorrows rise; And wash the bloody Stains away, With Torrents from your Eyes 4 Then dry your Tears, and tune your songs, The Saviour lives again; Not all the Gates and Bars of Death The Conq'ror could detain. 5 High o'er th' angelic Bands he rears His once dishonour'd Head; And tho' unnumber'd Years he reigns, Who dwelt among the Dead, 6 With Joy, like his, shall every Saint His empty Tomb survey; Then rise, with his ascending LORD, To Realms of endless Day.

Their anthems say, "Jesus who bled Hath left the dead; He rose to day." 4 Ye mortals, catch the sound, Redeem'd by him from hell; And send the echo round The globe on which you dwell; Transported cry, "Jesus who bled Hath left the dead No more to die." 5 All hail, triumphant Lord, Who sav'd us with thy blood! Wide be thy name ador'd Thou rising, reigning God! With thee we rise, With thee we reign, And empires gain Beyond the skies. Topics: The Resurrection of Christ, who arose for our Justification
