In low'ring gloom and cloudiness

Hymnal: COCN1916 #1 (1916) Lyrics: 1 In low'ring gloom and cloudiness, the sun had sunk to rest; And dreariest night had darkened o’er the earth’s sin laden breast: But when that brightest morning broke, the woe and curse were o’er; The pow'rs of death were vanquished, and Satan reigned no more. The Saviour from the tomb arose, the darkness pass'd away, And o’er the world in beauty dawn'd the glorious Easter day. 2 The angels who in grief and awe had watched His suff'rings dread, Had seen the scourge, the cross, the nails, the outrage and the wrong, The anguish keen, the storm of woe, that gathered o’er His head, See Satan's pow'r triumphant, the hosts of evil strong, Now wake the strain with one accord thro’ all the courts of Heav’n, To sing the praise of Love Divine, the joy of man forgiven. The Saviour from the tomb arose, the darkness pass'd away, And o’er the world in beauty dawn'd the glorious Easter day. 3 Again the light of Easter dawns, and shall we silent be, Nor bless the Love, the Grace, the Pow'r, that us from death set free? With holy joy from earliest morn let each his voice upraise, And thro’ the ransom'd world resound our Great Redeemer’s praise. O praise the Father, praise the Son! and Holy Spirit bless'd! And be the Name of God most High thro’ ev'ry land confess'd. Topics: Easter Languages: English Tune Title: [In low'ring gloom and cloudiness]

All this night bright angels sing

Hymnal: COCN1916 #2 (1916) Lyrics: 1 All this night bright angels sing, Never was such carolling, Hark! a voice which loudly cries, "Mortals, mortals, wake and rise. Lo! to gladness Turns your sadness: From the earth is ris'n a Sun, Shines all night tho' day be done." 2 Wake, O earth, wake every thing, Wake and hear the joy I bring: Wake and joy; for all this night, Heaven and every twinkling light, All amazing, Still stand gazing, Angels, powers and all that be, Wake, and joy this Sun to see. 3 Hail! O Sun, O blessed Light, Sent into this world by night; Let Thy Rays and heav'nly Pow'rs, Shine in these dark souls of ours. For most duly, Thou art truly God and Man, we do confess: Hail, O Sun of Righteousness! Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: [All this night bright angels sing]

Christ is risen! Christ is risen!

Hymnal: COCN1916 #3 (1916) Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Christ is risen! He hath burst His bonds in twain! Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Earth and Heav'n prolong the strain! He who suffered pain and loss, In His love to us, Dying on the bitter Cross, Lives victorious! Christ is risen! Christ is risen! He that burst His bonds in twain! Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Earth and Heav'n, prolong the strain! 2 Lo, the chains of death are broken! Earth below, and heaven above! Joy anew in every token Of Thy triumph, Lord of love! He o'er earth and heaven shall reign, At His Father's side, Till He cometh once again, Bridegroom to His Bride. Christ is risen! Christ is risen! He that burst His bonds in twain! Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Earth and Heaven, prolong the strain! 3 Angel legions, downward thronging, Hail the Lord of earth and skies! Ye who watch'd with holy longing Till your sun again should rise: He is risen! Earth, rejoice! Sing, ye starry train! All things living, find a voice! Jesus lives again! Christ is risen! Christ is risen! He hath burst His bonds in twain! Christ is risen! Christ is risen! Earth and Heaven, prolong the strain! Topics: Easter Languages: English Tune Title: [Christ is risen!
