"But who will the stone from the sepulcher roll?" They said, as the tears from their weeping eyes stole. 2 The stone is removed, and the Savior is gone; Oh, hail, ye disciples, this bright Sabbath morn. Lift, lift your glad voices in triumph on high; Your Master has risen, and ye shall not die. 3 May Christ now appear as to Mary He came, And fill every bosom with piety’s flame. Then Heaven’s bright glories we soon shall obtain, Nor Sabbaths, so peaceful, be useless and vain. Used With Tune: ST. DENIO Text Sources: The Sabbath School Harp, 2nd ed., by Lowell Mason (Boston: Massachusetts Sabbath School Society, 1837)

Creator, We Thank You for All You Have Made

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: Creator, we thank you for all you have made: For trees by the sidewalk that give us cool shade, For grass-covered ball fields, for flowers downtown, For wide autumn leaves that turn crispy and brown. God, thank you for gardens on back corner-lots, For insects that hide out in old flower pots, For lions and polar bears living in zoos, For high mountain trails that have beautiful views. God, thank you for rainfall that ends a long drought, For cracks in the sidewalk where little weeds sprout, For birds that build nests in the tops of the trees, For hot summer days when we feel a cool breeze. O God, we give thanks for the places we go, For cool mountain lakes and for trails in the snow, For each city park and for each county fair, For gifts of creation we see everywhere Topics: Creation/Earth Day/Environmnet Scripture: Psalm 95:3-5 Used With Tune: ST.

Night's Canopy Over Judea Now Hung

Author: Elizabeth C. Kinney Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Night’s canopy over Judea now hung Lyrics: 1 Night’s canopy over Judea now hung; The harp of the minstrel lay still and unstrung; The shepherds together sat watching the fold, While round them reigned darkness and silence and cold. 2 And now, in their midst, shines an angel of light— Quick vanishes fear at the radiant sight! And hark, in the words of their own native tongue, "Good tidings of joy" by the angel are sung! 3 "This day, in the city of David is born A Savior, whose birth is redemption’s glad morn; No longer through darkness and doubt shall ye grope, In Bethlehem’s manger lies Israel’s hope!" 4 A chorus angelic re-echoes in Heav’n The glorious news to the meek shepherds giv’n— "Peace, peace and good will unto earth!" is their song, While praises to God the long pæn prolong. Used With Tune: ST. DENIO Text Sources: From the poem "The Advent," in her book Poems, (New York: Hurd & Houghton, 1867)

You lead us; we gladly acknowledge your claim. Your voice has compelled us; we come at your call. And none you have chosen will finally fall. 2 Good Shepherd, you warn us of robbers and thieves, The hireling, the wolf who destroys and deceives. All praise for your promise on which we shall stand, That no one can snatch us from out of your hand. 3 Good Shepherd, you lay down your life for the sheep. Your love is not fickle, your gift is not cheap. You spend your life freely, you take it again. You died, so we live; we are healed by your pain. 4 At one with the Father, you made yourself known: "I am the Good Shepherd," at one with your own. You loved us before we had heeded or heard; By grace we respond to your life-giving word. Topics: Trust; Easter IV A; Easter IV B; Easter IV C Used With Tune: ST. DENIO
