Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands

Author: Martin Luther, 1483-1546; Richard Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #161 (1993) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands For our offenses given; But now at God's right hand he stands And brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us joyful be And sing to God right thankfully Loud songs of hallelujah. Hallelujah! 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 That death is swallowed up by death, Its sting is lost forever. Hallelujah! 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. Hallelujah! 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. Hallelujah! Topics: Easter; Easter Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN

Let all the world keep triumph And all that is therein. Let all things, seen and unseen, Their notes of gladness blend; For Christ the Lord has risen; Our joy shall have no end.

Jesus Christ, My Sure Defense

Author: Catherine Winkworth, 1827-78 Hymnal: CWLH1993 #167 (1993) Meter: 7.8.7.8.7.7 Lyrics: 1 Jesus Christ, my sure defense And my Savior, now is living! Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope he's giving, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives; I, too, unto life shall waken. Endless joy my Savior gives; Shall my courage, then, be shaken? Shall I fear, or could the head Rise and leave his members dead? 3 No, too closely am I bound Unto him by hope forever; Faith's strong hand the rock has found, Grasped it, and will leave it never. Even death now cannot part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I am flesh and must return Unto dust, whence I am taken; But by faith I now discern That from death I shall awaken With my Savior to abide In his glory, at his side. 5 Glorified, I shall anew With this flesh then be enshrouded; In this body I shall view God, my Lord, with eyes unclouded; In this flesh I then shall see Jesus Christ eternally.
