Rest of the weary! Thou

Author: Salomo Franck; Catherine Winkworth Appears in 11 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Rest of the weary! Thou Thyself art resting now, Where lowly in Thy sepulchre Thou liest; From out her deathly sleep My soul doth start, to weep So sad a wonder, that Thou, Saviour, diest! 2 Thy bitter anguish o'er, To this dark tomb they bore Thee, Life of life--Thee, Lord of all creation! The hollow rocky cave Must serve Thee for a grave, Who wast Thyself the Rock of our salvation. 3 O Prince of Life! I know That when I too lie low, Thou wilt at last my soul from death awaken; And thus I will not shrink From the grave's awful brink; The heart that trusts in Thee shall ne'er be shaken. 4 My Jesus, day by day, Help me to watch and pray, Beside the tomb where in my heart Thou'rt laid. Thy bitter death shall be My constant memory, My guide at last into Death's awful shade. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Eve Used With Tune: EASTER EVE

Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Communion with Christ Used With Tune: BRYD FREM, MIT HJERTES TRANG AT LINDRE

The royal standard forward goes

Author: Fortunatus, d. 569; John Caspar Mattes Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The royal standard forward goes, The holy Cross with mystery glows, Where death by life was put to shame, And life from death triumphant came. 2 Here from my Saviour's piercèd side Flows forth the purifying tide, That lets no sinful spot remain, As blood and water cleanse each stain. 3 Fulfilled is now the hope foretold, That faithful prophets sang of old; When God His wondering people see, Ruling all nations from the Tree. 4 Hail! only source of hope and life; In this sad time of pain and strife, To faithful souls Thy grace increase, And to the guilty give Thy peace. 5 And now, O Blessèd Trinity, Let endless praises be to Thee, Who through the triumph of Thy love, Hast gained for us a crown above. Amen. Topics: The Church Year Holy Week Used With Tune: VEXILLA REGIS

O Son of God, in co-eternal might

Author: Wilhelm Loehe, d. 1872; Harriet Reynolds Spaeth Appears in 4 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O Son of God, in co-eternal might, O Son of Man, clothed in the living light Of Godhead manifest, in power and glory; Lord Jesus Christ, Thou sole Desire That doth Thy longing worshippers inspire, For Thee alone, my spirit yearns in me: No bliss I find until I am with Thee. 2 The field is golden, flowers the meadow strew, The mountains rise sublime, the skies are blue; In these the child of earth may well find pleasure; I too, rejoice in all of them, But, not content, I want Jerusalem. Where Thou art throned, thither sets my sail; Home is not home, except within the veil. 3 Angelic legions, in Thy brightness bight Gaze on Thy face; my fathers share the sight; The God-man's matchless glory is unshrouded, And from that vision, to the soul Unmeasured waves of joy supernal roll, That rise in full and ever fuller tone, Like ocean surges, to the Lamb's white throne. 4 Then let me go,--what further hinders me?-- To mine own folk, the Son of Man to see. No glance will I, of that majestic beauty My eager soul would take her fill. Joy even now, and trembling, through me thrill. I must away! Thou hast prepared my place; My spirit panteth, Lord, to see Thy face. Amen. Topics: The Life Everlasting Heaven Used With Tune: O GOTTESSOHN

O ye heavens, bend and see

Author: H.; Mary Welden Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 O ye heavens, bend and see All that love hath done for me! See this Holy Infant's head, Pillowed on a manger bed; Like a lamb, in Bethle'm's stall, Slumbers He, the King of all. Bitter smart Rends His heart. Who is He? God is He. God and man in one, is He. 2 Come, ye angels, hither, all; Come to Bethle'm's humble stall, Come, confess, without dismay, Whose dear Son is born to-day, Helpless, poor. Is this your Lord? Dost believe this Child God's Word? Without throne, Without crown. Who is He? God is He. God and man in one, is He. 3 O, ye people, enter in; For you, lost ones, dead in sin, This pure Christ is born to-day, Born, to take your sins away. Yes, your Saviour lieth here, Heaven's King, earth's Conqueror, Lowly birth, Poor of earth; Who is He? God is He. God and man in one, is He. Amen.

Hosanna! loud hosanna!

Author: Jeanette Threlfall Appears in 159 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hosanna! loud hosanna! The little children sang; Through pillar'd court and temple The lovely anthem rang; To Jesus who had blessed them, Close folded to His breast, The children sang their praises, The simplest and the best. 2 From Olivet they followed, 'Mid an exultant crowd, Waving the victor palm-branch, And shouting clear and loud; Bright angels joined the chorus Beyond the cloudless sky: "Hosanna in the highest: Glory to God on high!" 3 Fair leaves of silvery olive They strewed upon the ground, Whilst Salem's circling mountains Echoed the joyful sound; The Lord of men and angels Rode on in lowly state Nor scorned that little children Should on His bidding wait. 4 "Hosanna in the highest!" That ancient song we sing; For Christ is our Redeemer, The Lord of heav'n our King. Oh! may we ever praise Him With heart, and life, and voice, And in His blissful presence Eternally rejoice! Amen.

O what, if we are Christ's

Author: Henry Williams Baker Appears in 134 hymnals Lyrics: 1 O what, if we are Christ's, Is earthly shame or loss? Bright shall the crown of glory be When we have borne the cross. 2 Keen was the trial once, Bitter the cup of woe, When martyred saints, baptized in blood, Christ's sufferings shared below. 3 Bright is their glory now, Boundless their joy above, Where on the bosom of their God, They rest in perfect love. 4 Lord, may that grace be ours, Like them in faith to bear All that of sorrow, grief or pain, May be our portion here. 5 Enough if Thou at last The word of blessing give, And let us rest in thine own home, Where saints and angels live. 6 All glory, Lord, to Thee, Whom heav'n and earth adore; To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, One God forevermore. Amen. Topics: The Christian Life Cross and Comfort Used With Tune: ABERYSTWYTH
