Jesus, Where'er Thy People Meet

God has brought forth Israel into joy from sadness, loosed from Pharaoh’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 has burst his prison, and from three days’ sleep in death as a sun has risen. All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from the Light to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Neither could the gates of death, nor the tomb’s dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal, hold you as a mortal: but today, among your own, you appear, bestowing your deep peace, which evermore passes human knowing. 4 Alleluia! Now we cry to our Lord immortal, who, triumphant, burst the bars of the tomb’s dark portal; Alleluia! With the Son, God the Father praising; Alleluia! Yet a gain to the Spirit raising.

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Author: James Weldon Johnson Meter: Irregular Appears in 48 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 105:2 First Line: Lift ev'ry voice and sing Refrain First Line: Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us Lyrics: 1. Lift ev'ry voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring, Ring with the harmonies of liberty; Let our rejoicing rise, high as the list'ning skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. 2. Stony the road we trod, bitter the chast'ning rod, Felt in the days when hope unborn had died; Yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet, Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come, treading our path thro' the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. 3. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou who hast brought us thus far on the way; Thou who hast by Thy might, led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee. Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee; Shadowed beneath Thy hand, may we forever stand, True to our God, true to our native land. Used With Tune: LIFT EVERY VOICE

No happiness can dwell below, To fill th' immortal mind. IV. To heav'n my restless heart aspires: O for a quick'ning ray, T' invigorate my faint desires, And cheer the tiresome way. V. The path to thy divine abode, Through a wild desert lies; A thousand snares beset the road, A thousand terrors rise. VI. Satan and sin unite their art, To keep me from my Lord: Dear Saviour, guard my trembling heart, And guide me by thy word. VII. Whene'er the tempting foe alarms, Or spreads the fatal snare, I'll fly to my Redeemer's arms, For safety must be there. VIII. My guardian, my almighty friend, On thee, my soul would rest; On thee alone, my hopes depend, Be near, and I am blest.
