Praise Be to Christ

Author: Timothy Dudley-Smtih, b. 1926 Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Praise be to Christ in whom we see Lyrics: 1 Praise be to Christ in whom we see The image of the Father shown, The first-born Son revealed and known, The truth and grace of deity; Through whom creation came to birth, Whose fingers set the stars in place, The unseen pow'rs, and this small earth, The furthest bounds of time and space. 2 Praise be to Him whose sov'reign sway And will upholds creation's plan; Who is, before all worlds began And when our world has passed away: Lord of the church, its life and head, Redemption's price and source and theme, Alive, the first-born from the dead, To reign as all-in-all supreme. 3 Praise be to Him who, Lord Most High, The fullness of the Godhead shares; And yet our human nature bears, Who came as man to bleed and die. And from His cross there flows our peace Who chose for us the path He trod, That so might sins and sorrows cease And all be reconciled to God.

These bones, now dead, again shall feel new warmth and vigor thro' them steal; and reunited they shall soar on high to live forevermore. 2 The buried grain of wheat must die, and long in withered state must lie, yet springs to light all sweet and fair, its proper fruit at last to bear. E'en so this body, made of dust, to earth we once again entrust, where it shall slumber free from pain till from the dead it rise again. 3 God breathed into this house of clay the spirit that has passed away; the righteous mind, the noble heart, the living faith did Christ impart. Ah! Would that promised day were here when Christ will once again appear and bring them to their heav'nly home who have been buried in the tomb.

To Thee, O Father throned on high

Author: W. C. Doane Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 7 hymnals Lyrics: 1 To Thee, O Father throned on high, Our marriage hymn we duly sing; Knit Thou the sacred bond we tie, And do Thou bless the wedding ring. Thy love, at first in Paradise, It was that made of one flesh twain; Work Thou, while here our prayers arise, That sacred mystery again. 2 To Thee, O Jesus, throned beside Thy Father's right hand, here we cry; True Bridegroom of Thy spotless Bride, With all Thy human love, draw nigh. Our human nature, Thy divine Has wedded, and in Thee, dear Lord, As Cana's water turned to wine, Its lost godlikeness is restored. 3 O Holy Ghost the Paraclete, Thee too we worship, God and Lord, And honor Thee, with praises meet, One with the Father and the Word. Lord and Life-giver, hear our prayer, Come, sanctify, and bless, and guide, Strengthen, and shelter 'neath Thy care, The life of bridegroom and of bride. 4 O God Triune, Whom heaven's host Adores, with sweet and ceaseless song; O Father, Son and Holy Ghost, To Whom all worship doth belong; Hear, in these echoes faint and dim Of chant and prayer and holy psalm, Their songs, the heavenly feast who hymn, The marriage supper of the Lamb.

Stichera Anatolika

Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.8 D Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Thee, as the evening light declines Lyrics: Thee, as the evening light declines, O Christ, unfading light, we praise, Who, robed in human flesh, appears, To bless us in the end of days. Dark hades saw the light arise, And quick the darkness fled away; The nations saw Thy waking beams, When dawned the Resurrection day. Glory, O Christ, to Thee we give, The Head of our Salvation Thou; For death is vanquished by Thy power, And men are saved from wandering now. The angel choirs in heaven rejoice, For messengers of death are spurned; The fall of Adam Thou hast raised, And Satan's power is overturned. We, all unworthy, stand around Thy life inspiring grave, and raise To Thy great tenderness of heart, O Christ our Lord, a hymn of praise; For thou gav'st welcome to the Cross, Nor thrust the hand of death away, That thou, O Lover of our race, Mightst give the Resurrection day. Word with the Father in the past, Word with the Father aye to reign; Mysterious born, to live and die, And in His glory rise again. O God of life to thee we sing, Saviour of our souls, to Thee Let hymns from every heart arise, And everlasting glory be. Text Sources: Pentecostarion, p. 14
