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.

Author: Christopher Idle Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 8 hymnals 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!

Lamb Of God, Thy Right We Own

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Lamb of God, Thy right we own; Worthy Thou, and Thou alone, The mysterious book t’explain Teeming with the fates of man, Thou shalt open every seal, Every prophecy fulfill. 2 Power executive is Thine: Prodigal of blood divine, Thou hast dearly bought Thine own, Laid the precious ransom down, Given by Thy Father’s grace, Slain for all our helpless race. 3 We who in Thy death confide, Conscious of Thy blood applied, Now the Gospel blessing prove, Fruit of Thy redeeming love, Daily find in serving Thee, Love is perfect liberty. 4 By the Spirit of Thy grace Thy distinguished witnesses, Out of all the worldly throng, Every nation, tribe, and tongue, Called, and separated for Thine, Now we in Thine image shine. 5 Thou hast by Thy hallowing blood Consecrated us to God, And we in the Holiest Place, Offer up our prayer and praise, Ceaseless "Abba, Father" cry, Kings and priests of the Most High. 6 Mightier joys ordained to know, When Thou com’st to reign below, We shall at Thy side sit down, Partners of Thy great white throne, Kings a thousand years with Thee, Kings thro’ all eternity.
