At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: Robert Campbell Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Lyrics: At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath washed us in the tide Flowing from his pierced side; Praise we him, whose love divine Gives his sacred Blood for wine, Gives his Body for the feast, Christ the victim, Christ the priest. Where the Paschal blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed Paschal victim, Paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. Mighty victim from the sky, Hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light: Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; Thou hast opened Paradise, And in thee thy saints shall rise. Easter triumph, Easter joy, Sin alone can this destroy; From sin's power do thou set free Souls new-born, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory and of praise, Risen Lord, to thee we raise; Holy Father, praise to thee, With the Spirit, ever be. Amen. Topics: Easter Day Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: Latin

He is risen, He is risen

Author: Cecil Frances Alexander Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 132 hymnals Lyrics: He is risen, he is risen, Tell it out with joyful voice: He has burst his three days' prison; Let the whole wide earth rejoice: Death is conquered, man is free, Christ has won the victory. Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted, With glad smile and radiant brow: Lent's long shadows have departed; All his woes are over now, And the passion that he bore: Sin and pain can vex no more. Come, with high and holy hymning, Chant our Lord's triumphant lay; Not one darksome cloud is dimming Yonder glorious morning ray, Breaking o'er the purple east, Symbol of our Easter feast. He is risen, he is risen; He hath opened heaven's gate: We are free from sin's dark prison, Risen to a holier state; And a brighter Easter beam On our longing eyes shall stream.

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.7.8.7.4.7 Appears in 539 hymnals Lyrics: Look, ye saints; the sight is glorious; See the "Man of sorrows" now; From the fight returned victorious, Every knee to Him shall bow; Crown Him! Crown Him! Crowns become the Victor's brow. Crown the Savior, angels crown Him; Rich the trophies Jesus brings; On the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings; Crown Him! Crown Him! Crown the Savior King of kings. Sinners in derision crowned Him, Mocking thus Messiah's claim; Saints and angels crowd around Him, Own his title, praise his Name: Crown Him! Crown Him! Spread abroad the Victor's fame! Hark! those bursts of acclamation! Hark! those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O what joy the sight affords! Crown Him! Crown Him! King of kings, and Lord of lords. Topics: The Ascension Day; Processional; Sunday Schools Ascension; Sunday Schools Used With Tune: CORONAE

Our Lord is risen from the dead

Author: Charles Wesley; John Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 449 hymnals Lyrics: Our Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high; The powers of hell are captive led, Dragged to the portals of the sky. There his triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates," Ye everlasting doors, give way. Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the radiant scene; He claims those mansions as his right; Receive the King of glory in. Who is the King of glory, Who? The Lord that all his foes o'ercame, The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the Conqueror's name. Lo! His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates," Ye everlasting doors, give way. 173 Who is the King of glory, Who? The Lord, of boundless power possessed, The King of saints and angels too, God, over all, for ever blest. Topics: The Ascension Day Used With Tune: TRURO

The head, that once was crown'd with thorns

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 510 hymnals Lyrics: The head, that once was crowned with thorns, Is crowned with glory now; A royal diadem adorns The mighty Victor's brow. The highest place that heaven affords Is His, is His by right, The King of kings, and Lord of lords, And heaven's eternal Light. The joy of all who dwell above; The joy of all below, To whom He manifests His love And grants His Name to know. To them the cross with all its shame, With all its grace is given; Their name, an everlasting name, Their joy, the joy of heaven. They suffer with their Lord below, They reign with Him above, Their profit and their joy to know The mystery of His love. The cross He bore is life and health, Though shame and death to Him: His people's hope, His people's wealth, Their everlasting theme. Topics: The Ascension Day Used With Tune: ST. MAGNUS

Crown Him with many crowns

Author: Matthew Bridges Meter: 6.6.8.6 D Appears in 795 hymnals Lyrics: Crown Him with many crowns, The Lamb upon his throne; Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own: Awake, my soul, and sing Of Him who died for thee, And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity. Crown Him the Son of God Before the worlds began, And ye, who tread where He hath trod, Crown him the Son of Man; Who every grief hath known That wrings the human breast, And takes and bears them for His own, That all in him may rest. Crown Him the Lord of Life, Who triumphed o'er the grave, And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save; His glories now we sing Who died, and rose on high, Who died, eternal life to bring, And lives that death may die. Crown Him of lords the Lord, Who over all doth reign, Who once on earth, the Incarnate Word, For ransomed sinners slain, Now lives in realms of light, Where saints with angels sing Their songs before Him day and night, Their God, Redeemer, King. Crown Him the Lord of heaven, Enthroned in worlds above; Crown Him the King, to Whom is given The wondrous name of Love. Crown Him with many crowns, As thrones before him fall, Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, For he is King of all.

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned

Author: Samuel Stennett Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 889 hymnals Lyrics: Majestic sweetness sits enthroned Upon the Savior's brow; His head with radiant glories crowned, His lips with grace o'erflow. No mortal can with Him compare, Among the sons of men; Fairer is He than all the fair That fill the heavenly train. He saw me plunged in deep distress, He flew to my relief; For me He bore the shameful cross, And carried all my grief. To Him I owe my life and breath, And all the joys I have; He makes me triumph over death, And saves me from the grave. To heaven, the place of His abode, He brings my weary feet; Shows me the glories of my God, And makes my joys complete. Since from His bounty I receive Such proofs of love divine, Had I a thousand hearts to give, Lord, they should all be Thine. Amen. Topics: The Ascension Day Used With Tune: HORSLEY
