Again the Lord of Light and Life
Author: Anna L. Barbauld Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 294 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 Lyrics: 1 Again the Lord of light and life
Awakes the kindling ray,
Unseals the eyelids of the morn,
And pours increasing day.
2 O what a night was that which wrapt
The heathen world in gloom!
O what a Sun which rose this day
Triumphant from the tomb!
3 This day be grateful homage paid,
And loud hosannas sung;
Let gladness dwell in ev'ry heart,
And praise on ev'ry tongue.
4 Ten thousand diff'rent lips shall join
To hail this welcome morn,
Which scatters blessings from its wings
To nations yet unborn. Topics: Jesus Resurrection; Praise Jesus Christ; Worship Used With Tune: ARLINGTON

At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel (1817-1877) Meter: 11.11.11.11 Appears in 259 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:12-28 First Line: At the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow Lyrics: 1 At the Name of Jesus every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning was the mighty Word.
2 Humbled for a season to receive a name
from the lips of sinners unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious when from death he passed;
3 Name him, Christians, name him, with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder, and with bated breath;
he is God the Saviour, he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped, trusted, and adored.
5 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue
all that is not holy, all that is not true;
crown him as your Saviour in temptation's hour;
let his will enfold you in its light and power.
5 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again,
with his Father's glory, with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him King of Glory now. Topics: Praise of God; Reign of Christ; Name of Jesus; Ascension and Exaltation Used With Tune: KING'S WESTON

Rise, crowned with light, great Salem, rise!
Author: Pope Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 219 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:24-25 Lyrics: 1 Rise, crowned with light, great Salem, rise!
Exalt thine head and lift thine eyes;
See a long race thy courts adorn,
Of sons and daughters yet unborn.
2 See nations at thy gates attend,
And lowly in thy temple bend;
See crowds on every side arise,
Eager to mount above the skies.
3 See heaven its portals wide display,
And pour on thee a flood of day!
Thy day shall shine forever bright,
For God himself shall be thy light.
4 What though the skies in smoke decay,
Rocks fall, and mountains melt away!
Fixed in his word, his power remains:
Thy glorious King, Messiah, reigns!
Topics: Christ Intercession and Reign; Reign of the Messiah
Rise, crowned with light, great Salem, rise!

ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega,
he the source, the ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see
evermore and evermore.
2 O that birth for ever blessèd,
when the virgin full of grace,
by the Spirit's power conceiving,
bore the saviour of our race,
and the babe, the world's redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face
evermore and evermore.
3 This is he whom seers and sages
sang of old with one accord,
whom the voices of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long-expected:
let creation praise its Lord
evermore and evermore.
4 In the heights of heaven adore him,
angel hosts his praises sing,
all dominions bow before him
and extol our God and king;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
every voice together sing
evermore and evermore. Topics: Christmas; Circumcision; Jesus Christ Incarnation; Prophetic Witness; Saints Days and Holy Days Anunciation of the Blessed Virgin; Saints Days and Holy Days St Matthias; Virgin Mary; Worship Earthly and Heavenly Used With Tune: CORDE NATUS
Of the Father’s love begotten
Lord, we are vile, conceived in sin
Author: Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 217 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:22 Lyrics: 1 LORD, we are vile, conceived in sin,
And born unholy and unclean;
Sprung from the man whose guilty fall
Corrupts his race, and taints us all.
2 Soon as we draw our infant breath
The seeds of sin grow up for death;
Thy law demands a perfect heart,
But we're defiled in every part.
3 Behold, we fall before thy face;
Our only refuge is thy grace:
No outward forms can make us clean;
The leprosy lies deep within.
4 No bleeding bird, nor bleeding beast,
No hyssop branch, nor sprinkling priest,
Nor running brook, nor flood, nor sea,
Can wash the dismal stain away.
5 Jesus, thy blood, thy blood alone.
Hath power sufficient to atone;
Thy blood can make us white as snow;
No Jewish types could cleanse us so.
6 While guilt disturbs and breaks our peace,
Nor flesh nor soul hath rest or ease;
Lord, let us hear thy pard'ning voice,
And make these broken hearts rejoice.

Lift Your Glad Voices
Author: Henry Ware Jr. Meter: 10.11.11.11.12.11.10.11 Appears in 162 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 First Line: Lift your glad voices in triumph on high Lyrics: 1 Lift your glad voices in triumph on high,
for Jesus has risen and we shall not die.
Vain were the terrors that gathered around him,
and short the dominion of death and the grave.
He burst from the fetters of evil that bound him,
resplendent in glory, to live and to save.
Loud was the chorus of angels on high,
the Savior has risen, and we shall not die.
2 Glory to God, in full anthems of joy;
the being God gave us, death cannot destroy.
Sad were the life we may part with tomorrow,
if tears were our birthright and death were our end.
But Jesus has cheered the deep valley of sorrow,
and bade us, immortal, to heaven ascend.
Lift then your voices in triumph on high,
for Jesus has risen, and we shall not die. Topics: Death and Eternal Life; Funeral / Memorial Service; Joy; Suffering Used With Tune: RESURRECTION Text Sources: Christian Disciple, 1817, alt.

Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 141 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:12-28 Lyrics: 1 Hark, a herald voice is sounding:
"Christ is nigh," it seems to say.
"Cast away the dreams of darkness,
O ye children of the day!"
2 Wakened by the solemn warning,
let the earth-bound soul arise;
Christ, our sun, all sloth dispelling,
shines upon the morning skies.
3 Lo, the Lamb, so long expected,
comes with pardon down from heaven;
let us all, with deep repentance,
pray that we may be forgiven,
4 that when next he comes with glory,
and the world is wrapped in fear,
with his mercy he may shield us,
and with words of love draw near.

Palms of glory, raiment bright
Author: James Montgomery, 1771-1854 Meter: 7.7.7.7 Appears in 140 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:24-25 Lyrics: 1 Palms of glory, raiment bright,
crowns that never fade away,
gird and deck the saints in light:
priests and kings and conquerors they.
2 Yet the conquerors bring their palms
to the Lamb amidst the throne,
and proclaim in joyful psalms
victory through his cross alone.
3 Kings for harps their crowns resign,
crying, as they strike the chords,
'Take the kingdom, it is thine,
King of kings and Lord of lords.'
4 Round the altar priests confess,
if their robes are white as snow,
'twas the Saviour's righteousness,
and his blood, that made them so.
5 They were mortal too like us:
O, when we like them must die,
may our souls translated thus
triumph, reign, and shine on high.
