Alleluia! Alleuia! Lyrics: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! 1 O sons and daughters of the King, whom heavenly hosts in glory sing, today the grave has lost its sting. Alleluia! 2 That Easter morn at break of day, the faithful women went their way to seek the tomb where Jesus lay. Alleluia! 3 An angel clad in white they see, who sat and spoke unto the three, "Your Lord has gone to Galilee." Alleluia! 4 When Thomas first the tidings heard that some had seen the risen Lord, he doubted the disciples' word. Lord, have mercy! 5 At night the apostles met in fear; among them came their Master dear and said, "My peace be with you here." Alleluia! 6 "My pierced side, O Thomas, see, and look upon my hands, my feet; not faithless but believing be." Alleluia! 7 No longer Thomas then denied; he saw the feet, the hands, the side. "You are my Lord and God!" he cried. Alleluia! 8 How blest are they who have not seen and yet whose faith has constant been, for they eternal life shall win. Alleluia! Final Ending: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Psalter Hymnal, 1987 Text Sources: Latin Hymn, 13th cent.

Jesus, Priceless Treasure

Author: Johann Franck; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.6.5.6.6.5.7.8.6 Appears in 131 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs Lyrics: 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, source of purest pleasure, friend most sure and true: long my heart was burning, fainting much and yearning, thirsting, Lord, for you. Yours I am, O spotless Lamb, so will I let nothing hide you, seek no joy beside you! 2 Let your arms enfold me: those who try to wound me cannot reach me here. Though the earth be shaking, every heart be quaking, Jesus calms my fear. Fires may flash and thunder crash; yea, though sin and hell assail me, Jesus will not fail me. 3 Hence, all worldly treasure! Jesus is my pleasure, Jesus is my choice. Hence, all empty glory! What to me your story told with tempting voice? Pain or loss or shame or cross shall not from my Savior move me, since he chose to love me. 4 Banish thoughts of sadness, for the Lord of gladness, Jesus, enters in; though the clouds may gather, those who love the Savior still have peace within. Though I bear much sorrow here, still in you lies purest pleasure, Jesus, priceless treasure! Psalter Hymnal, 1987

Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne

Author: E. S. Elliot Meter: Irregular Appears in 417 hymnals Topics: liturgical Scripture Songs First Line: Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown Lyrics: 1 Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown, When Thou camest to earth for me; But in Bethlehem's home was there found no room For Thy holy nativity. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 2 Heaven's arches rang when the angels sang, Proclaiming Thy royal degree; But of lowly birth didst Thou come to earth, And in great humility. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 3 The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest In the shade of the forest tree; But Thy couch was the sod, O Thou Son of God, In the deserts of Galilee. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 4 Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word That should set Thy people free; But with mocking scorn, and with crown of thorn, They bore Thee to Calvary. O come to my heart, Lord Jesus, There is room in my heart for Thee. 5 When the heavens shall ring, and the angels sing, At Thy coming to victory, Let Thy voice call me home, saying "Yet there is room, There is room at My side for thee." My heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus, When Thou comest and callest for me. Baptist Hymnal, 1991

Amen. Used With Tune: [While shepherds watched their flocks by night]
