"Christ, the Lord, is risen today"

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #221 (1918) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 "Christ, the Lord, is risen today," Sons of men and angels say. Raise your joys and triumphs high; Sing, ye heavens, and, earth, reply. 2 Love's redeeming work is done, Fought the fight, the battle won; Lo! our Sun's eclipse is o'er; Lo! He sets in blood no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ has burst the gates of hell. Death in vain forbids His rise; Christ has opened Paradise. 4 Lives again our glorious King; Where, O death, is now thy sting? Dying once, He all doth save; Where thy victory, O grave? 5 Soar we now where Christ has led, Following our exalted Head; Made like Him, like Him we rise; Ours the cross, the grave, the skies! 6 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven! Praise to Thee by both be given: Thee we greet triumphant now; Hail, the Resurrection Thou! Topics: Easter Languages: English

Jesus lives! no longer now

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #222 (1918) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus lives! no longer now Can thy terrors, Death, appall me; Jesus lives! by this I know, From the grave He will recall me. Brighter scenes will then commence; This shall be my confidence. 2 Jesus lives! to Him the throne High o'er heaven and earth is given: I shall go where He is gone, Live and reign with Him in heaven. God is pledged; weak doubtings, hence! This shall be my confidence. 3 Jesus lives! for me He died, Hence will I, to Jesus living, Pure in heart and act abide, Praise to Him and glory giving. Freely God doth aid dispense; This shall be my confidence. 4 Jesus lives! I know full well, Naught from me His Love shall sever; Life, nor death, nor powers of hell, Part me now from Christ forever. God will be a sure defence: This shall be my confidence. 5 Jesus lives! henceforth is death But the gate of Life immortal; This shall calm my trembling breath, When I pass its gloomy portal. Faith shall cry, as fails each sense, "Jesus is my confidence!" Topics: Easter Languages: English

Who is this that comes from Edom

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #223 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Who is this that comes from Edom, All His raiment stained with blood; To the captive speaking freedom; Bringing and bestowing good: Glorious in the garb He wears, Glorious in the spoils He bears? 2 'Tis the Savior, now victorious, Travelling onward in His might; 'Tis the Savior; O how glorious To His people is the sight! Satan conquered and the grave, Jesus now is strong to save. 3 Why that blood His raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain; Of His foes there's none remaining, None the contest to maintain. Falln they are, no more to rise; All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor, reign forever, Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall Thy people, never, Cease to sing what Thou hast done; Thou hast fought Thy people's foes; Thou hast healed Thy people's woes.

In death's strong grasp the Savior lay

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #224 (1918) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Lyrics: 1 In death's strong grasp the Savior lay, For our offences given; But now the Lord is risen today, And brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us all rejoice, And praise our God with cheerful voice, And sing loud hallelujahs. Hallelujah! 2 No son of man could conquer Death, Such mischief sin had wrought us, For innocence dwelt not on earth, And, therefore, Death had brought us Into thralldom from of old, And ever grew more strong and bold, And kept us in his bondage. Hallelujah! 3 But Jesus Christ, God's only Son, To our low state descended, The cause of Death he has undone, His power forever ended, Ruined all his right and claim, And left him nothing but the name,-- His sting is lost forever. Hallelujah! 4 It was a strange and dreadful fray When Death and Life contended; But it was Life that won the day, The reign of Death was ended. Holy Scripture plainly saith That Death is swallowed up by Death, Made henceforth a derision. Hallelujah! 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 doth mark our door, Faith points to it, Death passes o'er, The Murderer cannot harm us. Hallelujah! 6 So let us keep the festival With heartfelt exultation. Christ is Himself the Joy of all, The Sun of our salvation. By His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 7 Then let us feast this Easter-day On Christ, the Bread of heaven; The Word of grade hath purged away The old and wicked leaven; Christ alone our souls will feed, He is our meat and drink indeed, Faith lives upon no other. Hallelujah! Topics: Easter Languages: English

We, too, sing for joy and say: Hallelujah! 3 He who bore all pain and loss Comfortless upon the cross, Lives in glory now on high, Pleads for us and hears our cry: Hallelujah! 4 He whose path no records tell, Who descended into hell, He the strong man armed hath bound, Now in highest heaven is crowned: Hallelujah! 5 He who slumbered in the grave, Is exalted now to save; Now through Christendom it rings That the Lamb is King of kings! Hallelujah! 6 Now He bids us tell mankind How all may salvation find, How poor sinners are forgiven, And through faith may enter heaven: Hallelujah! 7 Thou our Paschal Lamb indeed, Christ, today Thy people feed; Take our sins and guilt away, That we all may sing for aye: Hallelujah!

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #226 (1918) Meter: 10.6.10.6.9.9.4 Lyrics: 1 I am content! My Jesus liveth still, In whom my heart is pleased; He hath fulfilled the law of God for me, God's wrath He hath appeased; Since Him from life death could not sever, I also shall not die forever. I am content! 2 I am content! My Jesus is my Head, His member I will be; He bowed His head, when on the cross He died, With cries of agony; Now death is brought into subjection For me, too, by His resurrection. I am content! 3 I am content! My Jesus is my Lord, My Price of life and peace; His loving heart is thirsting after man's Welfare and future bliss. Where He, my Lord and Master, liveth, His servant also He receiveth. I am content! 4 I am content! My Jesus is my Light, My radiant Sun of grace. His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all; Sweet comfort, hope, and peace. This Easter-sun brings life, salvation, And everlasting exultation. I am content! 5 I am content! Lord, draw me but to Thee, That from the dead I rise With Thee, my Head, and enter cheerfully Into thy heavenly joys. The fetters of my body sever, Then shall my soul rejoice forever. I am content!

Where wilt Thou go, since night draws near

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #227 (1918) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Where wilt Thou go, since night draws near, O Jesus Christ, Thou Pilgrim dear? Lord, make me happy, be my Guest, And in my heart, O deign to rest. 2 Grant my request, O dearest Friend, For truly I Thy best intend; Thou knowest that Thou ever art A welcome Guest unto my heart. 3 The day is now far spent and gone, The shades of night come quickly on; Abide with me, Thou heavenly Light, And do not leave me in this night. 4 Enlighten me that from the way That leads to heaven I may not stray, That I may never be misled, Though night of sin is round me spread. 5 And when I on my death-bed lie, Help me, and let me gently die. Abide! I will not let Thee go! Thou wilt not leave me, Lord, I know. Topics: Easter Languages: English

Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife

Hymnal: ELHL1918 #228 (1918) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife, Welcome from out the cave! Today we triumph in Thy life Around Thy empty grave. 2 Our enemy is put to shame, His short-lived triumph o’er; Our God is with us, we exclaim, We fear our foe no more. 3 The dwellings of the just resound With songs of victory; For in their midst Thou, Lord, art found, And brightest peace with Thee. 4 O let Thy conquering banner wave O’er hearts Thou makest free; And point the path that from the grave Leads heavenward up to Thee. 5 We bury all our sin and crime Deep in our Savior’s tomb, And seek the treasure there that time Nor change can e’er consume. 6 Fearless we lay us in the tomb, And sleep the night away, If Thou art there to break the gloom, And call us back today.
