In the Bonds of Death He Lay

Author: Martin Luther; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals 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.

All Authority and Power

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 All authority and power, every status and domain, now belongs to one who suffered our redemption to obtain; angels, demons, kings and rulers, over all shall Jesus reign! 2 All the nations owe him worship, every tongue shall call him Lord; how are they to call upon him if his name they have not heard? Therefore go and make disciples, preach his gospel, spread his Word. 3 All the clear commands of Jesus must be heeded and obeyed; full provision for our weakness in his teaching he has made; in the Gospel words and symbols saving truth to us conveyed. 4 All the time he will be with us, always, to the end of days; with his own believing people who keep steadfast in his ways; God the Father, Son and Spirit, bless us, and to God be praise!

Hallelujah! blissful morn! Hallelujah! Christ is born! 2 Hear ye not the bright-robed angel Cheering shepherds in the field-- Telling them the sweet Evangel That the woes of man are healed? Hear ye not the angel say: Fear ye not, be glad to-day? 3 Bid the fiend of hell defiance! Conquer'd now is every foe! In His Name have full reliance, Who hath borne our sin and woe! Hallelujah--death is braved! Hallelujah--we are saved! 4 Should we not with songs of gladness Glory give to God for aye? Why be bowed with grief and sadness When our sins are borne away? Praise Him--with the angels vie-- Glory be to God on high! 5 Swell, ye saints, the blissful chorus, Roll it onward like a sea! As the angels, hovering o'er us, Still repeat the melody. Hear ye not the angel say: Fear ye not, be glad to-day? 6 Gladly we repeat the story-- Vie with angels while they sing: Be to God immortal glory-- Glory to the new-born King!
