A lamb the sheep redeeming: Christ, who only is sinless, reconciles a lost world to the Father. Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous: the Prince of life, who died, reigns immortal. Tell, Mary, we will hearken what you saw in the garden: "The tomb of Christ, who is living; the glory of Jesus' resurrection; bright angels attesting, the shroud and napkin resting. For Christ my hope is arisen; to Galilee he will go before you." Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining; have mercy, victor King, ever reigning! Amen. Alleluia!

To Mock Your reign

Author: F. Pratt Green (1903-) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 14 hymnals Scripture: Mark 15 First Line: To mock your reign, O dearest Lord Lyrics: 1 To mock your reign, O dearest Lord, they made a crown of thorns; set you with taunts along that road from which no one returns. They did not know, as we do now, that glorious is your crown; that thorns would flower upon your brow, your sorrows heal our own. 2 In mock acclaim, O gracious Lord, they snatched a purple cloak, your passion turned, for all they cared, into a soldier's joke. They did not know, as we do now, that though we merit blame you will your robe of mercy throw around our naked shame. 3 A sceptered reed, O patient Lord, they thrust into your hand, and acted out their grim charade to its appointed end. They did not know, as we do now, though empires rise and fall, your Kingdom shall not cease to grow till love embraces all. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: THE THIRD TUNE
