Ere yet the dawn hath filled the skies

Hymnal: ELH1880 #82 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Ere yet the dawn hath filled the skies Behold my Savior Christ arise, He chaseth from us sin and night, And brings us joy and life and light. Hallelujah! 2 O stronger Thou than death and hell, Where is the foe Thou canst not quell? What heavy stone Thou canst not roll From off the prisoned, suff'ring soul! Hallelujah! 3 If Jesus lives can I be sad? I know He loves me, and am glad: Though all the world were dead to me, Enough, O Christ, if I have Thee! Hallelujah! 4 He feeds me, comforts, and defends, And when I die His angel sends To bear me whither He is gone, For of His own He loseth none. Hallelujah! 5 No more to fear or grief I bow, God and the angels love me now; The joys prepared for me to-day Drive fear and mourning far away. Hallelujah! 6 Strong Champion! For this comfort, see! The whole world bringeth thanks to Thee! And once we too shall raise above More sweet and loud the song of love: Hallelujah! Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English

Christ the Lord is ris'n to-day

Hymnal: ELH1880 #83 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Christ the Lord is ris'n to-day, Christians, haste your vows to pay; Offer ye your praises meet, At the Paschal Victim's feet. For the sheep the Lamb hath bled, Sinless in the sinner's stead; Christ is ris'n to-day, we cry; Now He lives no more to die. 2 Christ, the Victim undefiled, Man to God hath reconciled, Whilst in strange and awful strife, Met together death and Life. Christians, on this happy day, Haste with joy your vows to pay; Christ is ris'n to-day, we cry; Now He lives no more to die. 3 Christ, who once for sinners bled, Now the first-born from the dead, Throned in endless might and power, Lives and reigns forevermore. Hail! eternal Hope on high! Hail! Thou King of Victory! Hail! Thou Prince of Life adored! Help and save us, gracious Lord! Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English

In Death's strong grasp the Savior lay

Hymnal: ELH1880 #84 (1880) Lyrics: 1 In Death's strong grasp the Savior lay, For our offences given: But now the Lord is ris'n to-day, And brings us life from heaven: Wherefore let us all rejoice And praise our God with cheerful voice, And sing loud Hallelujahs. Hallelujah! 2 No son of man could conquer death, Such mischief sin had wrought us; For innocence dwelt not on earth, And therefore Death had brought us Into thraldom from of old, And ever grew more strong and bold, His shadow lay athwart us. Hallelujah! 3 But Jesus Christ, God's only Son, Is come for our salvation, The cause of death He has undone, And stopped its devastation; Ruined all his right and claim, And left him nothing but the name,-- His sting is lost forever. Hallelujah! 4 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 saith, That death is swallowed up by death, Made henceforth a derision. Hallelujah! 5 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 doth mark our door, Faith points to it, death passes o'er, The Murderer cannot harm us. Hallelujah! 6 So let us keep the festival, Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the Joy of all, The Sun which warms and lights us: By His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 7 Then let us feast this Easter-day On the true Bread of heaven; The Word of grade hath purged away The old and wicked leaven: Christ alone our souls will feed, He is our meat and drink indeed; Faith lives upon no other. Hallelujah! Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English

"Christ, the Lord, has risen to-day"

Hymnal: ELH1880 #86 (1880) Lyrics: 1 "Christ, the Lord, has risen to-day," Sons of men and angels say; Raise your joys and triumphs high: Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply. 2 Love's redeeming work is done; Fought the fight, the battle won: Lo! our Sun's eclipse is o'er, Lo! He rests in blood no more. 3 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Christ has burst the gates of hell. Death in vain forbids Him rise; Christ has opened Paradise; 4 Lives again our glorious King: Where, O death, is now thy sting? Dying once, He all doth save: Where thy victory, O grave?

Say, my soul, what preparation

Hymnal: ELH1880 #87 (1880) Lyrics: 1 Say, my soul, what preparation Makest thou for this high day, When the God of thy salvation Opened through the tomb a way? Dwellest thou with pure affection On this proof of power and love? Doth thy Savior's resurrection Raise thy thoughts to things above? 2 Hast thou borne on faith's strong pinion, Risen with the risen Lord? And released from sin's dominion, Into purer regions soared? Or art thou, in spite of warning, Dead in trespasses and sin! Hath to thee the purple morning No true Easter ushered in? 3 Let no precious time be wasted, To new life arise at length: He who death for thee hath tasted, For new life will give thee strength; In him rise, at once bestir thee, Still pass on and persevere. Let no weariness deter thee, He who woke thee still is near. 4 See! thy Lord Himself is risen, That thou mightest also rise, And emerge from sin's dark prison To new life and open skies. Come to Him who can unbind thee, And reverse thy awful doom; Come to Him, and leave behind thee Thy old life--an empty tomb! Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English

Welcome, Thou victor in the strife

Hymnal: ELH1880 #88 (1880) Meter: 8.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife, Now welcome from the cave! To-day we triumph in Thy life Around Thy empty grave. 2 The dwellings of the just resound With songs of victory; For in their midst, Lord, Thou art found, And brightest peace with Thee. 3 Impart to us the spoils, we pray, Thou didst for us achieve; We meet within Thy house to-day Our portion to receive. 4 We die with Thee: O let us live Henceforth to Thee aright; The blessings Thou hast died to give, Be daily in our sight. 5 Fearless we lay us in the tomb, And sleep the night away, If Thou art there to break the gloom, And call us back to day. 6 Death hurts us not; his power is gone, And pointless are his darts; Now hath God's favor on us shone, And joy fills all our hearts.

Hail, Thou once despised Jesus!

Bearer of our sin and shame; By Thy merits we find favor, Life is given through Thy name. 2 Paschal Lamb! by God appointed, All our sins on Thee were laid; By almighty love anointed, Thou hast full atonement made: All Thy people are forgiven Through the virtue of Thy blood; Opened is the gate of heaven, Peace is made 'tween man and God. 3 Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory, There for ever to abide; All the heav'nly host adore Thee, Seated at Thy Father's side; There for sinners Thou art pleading, There Thou dost our place prepare; Ever for us interceding Till in glory we appear. 4 Glory, honor, power, and blessing Thou art worthy to receive; Loudest praises, without ceasing, Meet it is for us to give. When we join th'angelic spirits, In their sweetest, noblest lays, We will sing our Savior's merits-- Gladly chant Immanuel's praise. Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English
