Let the Merry Church Bells Ring

Appears in 50 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Let the merry church bells ring! Hence with tears and sighing, Frost and cold hath fled from spring, Life hath conquered dying; Flow’rs are smiling, fields are gay, Sunny is the weather, With our rising Lord today, All things rise together, All things rise together. Refrain: Let the merry church bells ring! Ring! ring! ring! Let the merry church bells ring! Ring! ring! ring! 2 Let the birds sing out again From their leafy chapel, Praising him, with whom in vain, Death has sought to grapple; Sounds of joy rise loud and clear, As the breezes flutter; “Christ is risen, he’s not here,” Is the strain they utter, Is the strain they utter. [Refrain] 3 Now the night of grief is past, Joy the morning giveth; Christ the Lord was slain for us, But today he liveth; Ev’ry heart is glad and gay, Sorrow from us driven; This the joy of Easter day, Christ the Lord is risen, Christ the Lord is risen. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Let the merry church bells ring]

Linger with me, Precious Savior

Author: Mrs. E. W. Chapman Appears in 9 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Linger with me, precious Savior, Earthly joys are fading fast; Lending, Lord, thy grace and favor Till this fleeting life has passed. Dearest friends around me gather, Tho’ o’er some the grave has closed; Heeding not the icy finger, Calm their souls on thee reposed. Refrain: Linger with me, precious Savior, Closely hold in thine my hand; Linger with me, yes, still linger, Till within Immanuel’s land. 2 Linger with me, precious Savior, Let the western sunsets glow, Rays of bright and shining brilliance O’er my happy spirit throw. Lighter, lighter be the evening, When the day of life is done; Dearer, dearer be thy presence, With me at the set of sun. [Refrain] 3 Linger with me, precious Savior, Let thine arms around me fold; When the Jordan’s wave I enter Do not then release thy hold. When the bright eternal morning Shall my glad free spirit wake, Still be with me, O my Savior, And my soul to glory take. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Linger with me, precious Savior]

[Refrain] 3 Father, when the shades are falling, And the night of death is near; Guide me thro’ the gloomy valley, With thy light my journey cheer.
