How calm and beautiful the morn

Author: Thomas Hastings Hymnal: Trinity Hymnal #209 (1961) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: 1 How calm and beautiful the morn That gilds the sacred tomb, Where Christ the crucified was borne, And veiled in midnight gloom! O weep no more the Saviour slain; The Lord is risen; he lives again. 2 Ye mourning saints, dry ev'ry tear For your departed Lord; Behold the place, he is not here, The tomb is all unbarred; The gates of heath were closed in vain: The Lord is risen; he lives again. 3 Now cheerful to the house of prayer Your early footsteps bend; The Saviour will himself be there, Your Advocate and Friend: Once by the law your hopes were slain, But now in Christ ye live again. 4 How tranquil now the rising day! 'Tis Jesus still appears, A risen Lord to chase away Your unbelieving fears: O weep no more your comforts slain; The Lord is risen; he lives again. 5 And when the shades of evening fall, When life's last hour draws nigh, If Jesus shine upon the soul, How blissful then to die! Since he has risen that once was slain, Ye die in Christ to live again. Amen.

The rosy-fingered dawn appears

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Russian Church #1 (1920) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: The rosy-fingered dawn appears, And lo, the sun uprise; His shafts like golden pointed spears Illume the brightening skies;-- Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine, And praise the Lord of Light divine. Thou hast a task to do this day, Thy God to serve in all; Like morn and noon thy light display, Ere night in darkness fall.-- Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine, And praise the Lord of Light divine. The rosy morn shall fade away, The sun his course complete; Thy task must end with close of day, When light and darkness greet.-- Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine, And praise the Lord of Light divine. 2 Eternal light eternal glows, Beyond the realms of time; Where service still to service grows, As suns to noontide climb.-- Up, soul of mine, in beauty shine, And praise the Lord of Light divine.

They brought Him to the hill of death

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns from the Morningland #12 (1911) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.8 Lyrics: I They brought Him to the hill of death Where ruthless felons died, And there, upon a cross of shame, The Christ was crucified; By wicked men the nails were driven, And God, in silence, looked from heaven. II They bade Him find His help in God, If He were Christ indeed, And save Himself, as He had saved So many in their need; Such taunting words like venom stung, And God beheld the arrows flung. III They wagged their heads in mocking scorn, And bade the Christ come down,— While from His wounds the blood-drops fell, And from the thorny crown; The spear uplifted pierced His side, And God beheld the crimson tide. IV All dark at noon, the sun refused His wonted light to shed, For sin and death had God defied, And Christ His Son was dead; And God had turned His face away, Nor heard the Christ in anguish pray. V All hail the Resurrection morn! The light returns again, And Christ is throned at God’s right hand Who once for man was slain; And God extends His pardoning grace, Nor hides the brightness of His face. Languages: English
