Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands

Therefore let us joyful be, and sing to God right thankfully loud songs of alleluia! Alleluia! 2 It was a strange and dreadful strife when life and death contended. The victory remained with life; the reign of death was ended. Holy Scripture plainly says his death has swallowed up our death; its sting is lost forever. Alleluia! 3 Here the true paschal Lamb we see, whom God so freely gave us. He died on the accursed tree so strong his love to save us. See, his blood now marks our door; faith points to it, death passes o'er, and Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia! 4 So let us keep the festival to which the Lord invites us. Christ is himself the joy of all, the sun that warms and lights us. Now his grace to us imparts eternal sunshine to our hearts; the night of sin is ended. Alleluia! 5 Then let us feast this holy day on Christ, the bread of heaven. The Word of grace has purged away the old and evil leaven. Christ alone our souls will feed; he is our meat and drink indeed; faith lives upon no other! Alleluia!

O Thou who driest the mourner's tear

Author: Moore Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 210 hymnals Scripture: Isaiah 25:8 Lyrics: 1 O THOU who driest the mourner's tear, How dark this world would be, If, when deceived and wounded here, We could not fly to thee. 2 The friends who in our sunshine live, When winter comes, are flown; And he who has but tears to give, Must weep those tears alone. 3 But Christ can heal that broken heart, Which, like the plants that throw Their fragrance from the wounded part, Breathes sweetness out of woe. 4 When joy no longer soothes or cheers, And e'en the hope that threw A moment's sparkle o'er our tears, Is dimmed and vanished too: 5 Oh, who could bear life's stormy doom, Did not his wing of love Come brightly wafting through the gloom, Our peace-branch from above. 6 Then sorrow, touched by him, grows bright, With more than rapture's ray; As darkness shows us worlds of light We never saw by day.

See, rebels by adopting grace Sit with the heirs of Heaven! 4 The pain'd, the sick, the dying, now To ease and health restor'd, With eager appetites partake The plenties of the board. 5 But O what draughts of bliss unknown, What dainties shall be given, When, with the myriads round the throne, We join the feast of Heaven? 6 There joys immeasurably high Shall overflow the soul, And springs of life, that never dry, In thousand channels roll.
