All Ye Gentile Lands Awake!
Author: Johann Rist; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: All ye Gentile lands awake Lyrics: 1. All ye Gentile lands awake!
Thou, O Salem, rise and shine!
See the day-spring o’er you break,
Heralding a morn divine,
Telling, God hath called to mind
Those who long in darkness pined.
2. Lo! the shadows flee away,
For our Light is come at length,
Brighter than all earthly day,
Source of being, life and strength!
Whoso on this Light would gaze
Must forsake all evil ways.
3. Ah how blindly did we stray
Ere shone forth this glorious Sun,
Seeking each his separate way,
Leaving Heaven, unsought, unwon;
All our looks were earthward bent,
All our strength on earth was spent.
4. Earthly were our thoughts and low,
In the toils of folly caught,
Tossed of Satan to and fro,
Counting goodness all for naught;
By the world and flesh deceived,
Heaven’s true joys we disbelieved.
5. Then were hidden from our eyes
All the law and grace of God;
Rich and poor, the fools and wise,
Wanting light to find the road
Leading to the heavenly life,
Wandered lost in care and strife.
6. But the glory of the Lord
Hath arisen on us today;
We have seen the light outpoured
That must surely drive away
All things that to night belong,
All the sad earth’s woe and wrong.
7. Thy arising, Lord, shall fill
All my thoughts in sorrow’s hour;
Thy arising, Lord, shall still
All my dread of death’s dark power;
Through my smiles and through my tears
Still Thy light, O Lord, appears.
8. Let me, Lord in peace depart
From this evil world to Thee;
Where Thyself sole Brightness art,
Thou hast kept a place for me:
In the shining city there
Crowns of light Thy saints shall wear. Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER Text Sources: Translation: Lyra Germanica, 1862, pages 32-4

In the Bonds of Death He Lay
Author: Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. In the bonds of death He lay,
Who for our offense was slain,
But the Lord is risen today,
Christ hath brought us life again;
Wherefore let us all rejoice,
Singing loud with cheerful voice.
2. Of the sons of men was none
Who could break the bonds of death,
Sin this mischief dire had done,
Innocent was none on earth;
Wherefore death grew strong and bold,
Death would all men captive hold.
3. Jesus Christ, God’s only Son,
Came at last our foe to smite,
All our sins away hath done,
Done away death’s power and right;
Only the form of death is left,
Of his sting he is bereft.
4. ’Twas a wondrous war, I trow,
When life and death together fought,
But life hath triumphed o’er his foe,
Death is mocked, and set at naught;
Yea, ’tis as the Scripture saith,
Christ through death hath conquered death.
5. Now our Paschal Lamb is He,
And by Him alone we live,
Who to death upon the tree
For our sake Himself did give.
Faith His blood strikes on our door,
Death dares never harm us more.
6. On this day, most blest of days,
Let us keep high festival,
For our God hath showed His grace,
And our Sun hath risen on all,
And our hearts rejoice to see
Sin and night before Him flee.
7. To the supper of the Lord
Gladly will we come today;
The word of peace is now restored,
The old leaven is put away;
Christ will be our food alone,
Faith no life but His doth own. Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER Text Sources: Enchridion (Erfurt, Germany: 1524) ; Translation in Lyra Germanica, 1855

Sinners, Will You Scorn the Message
Author: Jonathan Allen Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 288 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Sinners, will you scorn the message
Sent in mercy from above?
Every sentence, O how tender!
Every line is full of love:
Listen to it, listen to it,
Every line is full of love.
2. Hear the heralds of the Gospel
News from Zion’s King proclaim:
Pardon to each rebel sinner,
Free forgiveness in His name:
How important, how important,
Free forgiveness in His name.
3. Tempted souls, they bring you succor;
Fearful hearts, they quell your fears,
And, with news of consolation,
Chase away the falling tears:
Tender heralds, tender heralds,
Chase away the falling tears.
4. False professors, groveling wordlings,
Callous hearers of the Word,
While the messengers address you,
Take the warnings they afford;
We entreat you, we entreat you,
Take the warnings they afford.
5. O ye angels, hovering round us,
Waiting spirits, speed your way;
Haste ye to the court of heaven,
Tidings bear without delay,
Rebel sinners, rebel sinners,
Glad the message will obey. Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSCHER Text Sources: Hymns Adapted to Public Worship, Collected from Various Authors, by S. Woolmer (Exeter, England: 1801)

Since Our Great High Priest, Christ Jesus (Hebrews 1:3-4; 2:8-11; 4:14-16)
Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 First Line: Since our great high priest, Christ Jesus Lyrics: 1 Since our great high priest, Christ Jesus,
bears the name above all names,
reigning Son of God, surpassing
other titles, powers, and claims;
since to heaven our Lord has passed,
let us hold our witness fast!
2 Since we have a priest who suffered,
knowing weakness, tears, and pain;
who, like us, was tried and tempted;
unlike us, without a stain;
since he shared our lowly place,
let us boldly seek his grace!
3 Sacrifice and suffering over,
now he sits at God's right hand,
crowned with praise, no more an outcast,
his preeminence long planned;
such a great high priest we have,
strong to help, supreme to save!
4 Love's example, hope's attraction,
faith's beginning and its end,
pioneer of our salvation,
mighty advocate and friend:
Jesus, now in glory raised,
our ascended Lord, be praised! Topics: Church Year Ascension; Church Year Christ the King; Jesus Christ King; Jesus Christ Name of; Jesus Christ Reign; Jesus Christ Son of God Scripture: Hebrews 1:3-4 Used With Tune: UNSER HERRSHER
