"We are confident"
Author: Isaac Watts Appears in 521 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:6 First Line: Why do we mourn departing friends Lyrics: 1 Why do we mourn departing friends,
Or shake at death's alarms?
'Tis but the voice that Jesus sends,
To call them to his arms.
2 Are we not tending upward, too,
As fast as time can move?
Nor would we wish the hours more slow,
To keep us from our love.
3 Why should we tremble to convey
Their bodies to the tomb?
There the dear flesh of Jesus lay,
And scattered all the gloom.
4 The graves of all the saints he blessed,
And softened every bed;
Where should the dying members rest,
But with the dying Head?
5 Thence he arose, ascending high,
And showed our feet the way;
Up to the Lord we, too, shall fly
At the great rising-day.
6 Then let the last loud trumpet sound,
And bid our kindred rise;
Awake! ye nations under ground;
Ye saints! ascend the skies. Topics: Death Used With Tune: CHINA

The people that in darkness sat
Author: John Morrison, 1750-1798 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28 Lyrics: 1 The people that in darkness sat
a glorious light have seen;
the light has shined on them who long
in shades of death have been.
2 To hail thee, Sun of Righteousness,
the gathering nations come;
they joy as when the reapers bear
their harvest treasures home.
*3 For thou their burden dost remove,
and break the tyrant's rod,
as in the day when Midian fell
before the sword of God.
4 For unto us a child is born,
to us a Son is given,
and on his shoulder ever rests
all power in earth and heaven.
5 His name shall be the Prince of Peace,
the everlasting Lord,
the Wonderful, the Counsellor,
the God by all adored.
6 His righteous government and power
shall over all extend;
on judgement and on justice based,
his reign shall have no end.
7 Lord Jesus, reign in us, we pray,
and make us thine alone,
who with the Father ever art
and Holy Spirit One. Topics: Advent III Year B; Advent III Year C; Epiphany III Year C; Second Sunday Before Advent Year C Used With Tune: DUNDEE Text Sources: Scottish Paraphrases, 1781

At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
praise to our victorious King,
who has washed us in the tide
flowing from his wounded side.
Praise we Christ, whose love divine
gives his sacred blood for wine,
gives his body for the feast–
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
2 Where the paschal blood is poured
death's dread angel sheathes the sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
paschal victim, paschal bread;
with sincerity and love
eat we manna from above.
3 Mighty victim from the sky,
hell's fierce powers beneath you lie;
you have conquered in the fight,
you have brought us life and light.
Now no more can death appall,
now no more the grave enthrall;
you have opened paradise,
and your saints in you shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
this alone can sin destroy!
From sin's power, Lord, set us free,
newborn souls in you to be.
Father, who the crown shall give;
Savior, by whose death we live;
Spirit, guide through all our days:
Three in One, your name we praise. Topics: Church Year Easter/Season of Easter; Church Year Christ the King; Powers of Darkness; Jesus Christ Redeemer; Elements of Worship Lord's Supper Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: Latin hymn, 17th c.

Lift Your Glad Voices
Author: Henry Ware Jr. Meter: 10.11.11.11.12.11.10.11 Appears in 162 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 First Line: Lift your glad voices in triumph on high Lyrics: 1 Lift your glad voices in triumph on high,
for Jesus has risen and we shall not die.
Vain were the terrors that gathered around him,
and short the dominion of death and the grave.
He burst from the fetters of evil that bound him,
resplendent in glory, to live and to save.
Loud was the chorus of angels on high,
the Savior has risen, and we shall not die.
2 Glory to God, in full anthems of joy;
the being God gave us, death cannot destroy.
Sad were the life we may part with tomorrow,
if tears were our birthright and death were our end.
But Jesus has cheered the deep valley of sorrow,
and bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend.
Lift then your voices in triumph on high,
for Jesus has risen, and we shall not die. Topics: Death and Eternal Life; Funeral / Memorial Service; Joy; Suffering Used With Tune: RESURRECTION Text Sources: Christian Disciple, 1817, alt.

By All Your Saints Still Striving
Author: Horatio Bolton Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 Lyrics: 1 By all your saints still striving,
for all your saints at rest,
your holy name, O Jesus,
forevermore be blessed!
For those passed on before us,
we sing our praise anew
and, walking in their footsteps,
would live our lives for you.
2 We praise you for the Baptist,
forerunner of the Word,
our true Elijah, making
a highway for the Lord.
The last and greatest prophet,
he saw the dawning ray
of light that grows in splendor
until the perfect day.
3 All praise, O Lord, for Andrew,
the first to welcome you,
whose witness to his brother
named you Messiah true.
May we, with hearts kept open
to you throughout the year
proclaim to friend and neighbor
your advent ever near.
4 For Magdalene we praise you,
steadfast at cross and tomb.
Your “Mary!” in the garden
dispelled her tears and gloom.
Apostle to the apostles,
she ran to spread the word.
Send us to shout the good news
that we have seen the Lord!
5 We pray for saints we know not,
for saints still yet to be,
for grace to bear true witness
and serve you faithfully,
till all the ransomed number
who stand before the throne
ascribe all power and glory
and praise to God alone. Topics: The Church; Evangelism; Praise; Sending Used With Tune: KING’S LYNN
