Our Lord is risen from the dead

Author: Rev. C. Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 449 hymnals Matching Instances: 3 Lyrics: 1 Our Lord is risen from the dead; Our Jesus is gone up on high; The powers of hell are captive led, Dragged to the portals of the sky. 2 There His triumphal chariot waits And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates," Ye everlasting doors, give way. 3 Loose all your bars of massy light, And wide unfold the radiant scene; He claims those mansions as His right, Receive the King of glory in. 4 Who is the King of glory, Who? The Lord that all His foes o'ercame, The world, sin, death, and hell o'erthrew; And Jesus is the Conqueror's name. 5 Lo! His triumphal chariot waits, And angels chant the solemn lay: "Lift up your heads, ye heavenly gates," Ye everlasting doors, give way. 6 Who is the King of glory, Who? The Lord, of boundless power possessed, The King of saints and angels too, God over all, forever blest. Amen. Topics: Ascensiontide Used With Tune: [Our Lord is risen from the dead]

How Glorious Is the Life Above

Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 4 hymnals Matching Instances: 2 Lyrics: 1. How glorious is the life above Which in this ordinance we taste, That fullness of celestial love, That joy which shall for ever last! 2. That heavenly life in Christ concealed These earthen vessels could not bear; The part which now we find revealed No tongue of angels can declare. 3. The light of life eternal darts Into our souls a dazzling ray; A drop of Heaven o’erflows our hearts, And deluges the house of clay. 4. Sure pledge of ecstasies unknown Shall this divine communion be: The ray shall rise into a sun, The drop shall swell into a sea.

Though troubles assail, and dangers affright

Meter: 10.10.11.11 Appears in 429 hymnals Matching Instances: 1 Lyrics: 1. Though troubles assail, and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail, and foes all unite, Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The promise assures us, "The Lord will provide." 2. The birds, without barn or storehouse, are fed; From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints what is fitting shall ne'er be denied, So long as 'tis written, "The Lord will provide." 3. We may, like the ships, by tempests be tossed On perilous deeps, but cannot be lost: Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide, The promise engages "The Lord will provide." 4. When Satan appears to stop up our path, And fills us with fears, we triumph by faith; He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, The heart cheering promise, "The Lord will provide." 5. His call we obey, like Abram of old, Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold; For though we are strangers, we have a good guide, And trust, in all dangers, "The Lord will provide." 6. He tells us we're weak--our hope is in vain, The good that we seek we ne'er shall obtain; But when such suggestions our spirits have plied, This answers all questions, "The Lord will provide" 7. No strength of our own, nor goodness we claim; Yet since we have known the Savior's great name, In this our strong tower for safety we hide; The Lord is our power, "The Lord will provide." 8. When life sinks apace, and death is in view, The word of his grace shall comfort us through: Not fearing or doubting, with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting, "The Lord will provide."
