The Risen Christ

Author: Stephen Wright Hymnal: CoH1906 #176 (1906) First Line: Adown the centuries Lyrics: 1. Adown the centuries The good news lightens; The moral firmament With glory brightens. Good news for souls that sigh In fear's dark prison; Ye are not doomed to die, For Christ is risen. 2. The Lord indeed arose; The word is spoken; His tomb was sealed by foes Their seal is broken. The stone is rolled away 'Mid wonders thrilling; Hear what the angels say, His word fulfilling: 3. "Fear not! Among the dead Seek ye the living?" "Fear not," the angel said, New courage giving. "Fear not" need any fear Whom he befriendeth? An empty tomb is here; The Lord ascendeth. 4. "Fear not"! Repeat the word, Rehearse the story; Tell what your ears have heard, Messiah's glory. "Fear not," his victory sing; His saints awaking, Shall he in triumph bring, Their tombs forsaking. Languages: English Tune Title: [Adown the centuries]

With his Spirit in me dwelling, Simply trusting every word, By this close communion gaining Sweet acquaintance with the Lord. Languages: English Tune Title: [In the secret place I'll hide me]
