I am content! My Jesus liveth still

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #91 (1893) Meter: 10.6.10.6.9.9.4 Lyrics: 1 I AM content! My Jesus liveth still, In whom my heart is pleased; He hath fulfilled the law of God for me, God's wrath He hath appeased; Since Him from life death could not sever, I also shall not die forever. I am content! 2 I am content! My Jesus is my Head, His member I will be; He bowed His head, when on the cross He died, With cries of agony; Now death is brought into subjection For me, too, by His resurrection. I am content! 3 I am content! My Jesus is my Lord, My Prince of life and peace; His loving heart is thirsting after man's Welfare and future bliss. Where He, my Lord and Master, liveth, His servant also He receiveth. I am content! 4 I am content! My Jesus is my Light, My radiant Sun of grace. His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all, Sweet comfort, hope, and peace. This Easter-sun brings life, salvation, And everlasting exultation. I am content! 5 I am content! Lord, draw me but to Thee, That from the dead I rise With Thee, my Head, and enter cheerfully Into Thy heavenly joys. The fetters of my body sever, Then shall my soul rejoice forever. I am content!

He lives, my Jesus, still the same; O the sweet joy this sentence gives, "I know that my Redeemer lives!" Topics: Easter Languages: English

In Death's strong grasp the Saviour lay

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #93 (1893) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Lyrics: 1 IN Death's strong grasp the Saviour lay, For our offences given; But now the Lord is risen to-day, And brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us all rejoice, And praise our God with cheerful voice, And sing loud Hallelujahs. Hallelujah! 2 No son of man could conquer Death, Such mischief sin had wrought us, For innocence dwelt not on earth, And therefore, Death had brought us Into thralldom from of old, And ever grew more strong and bold, And kept us in his bondage. Hallelujah! 3 But Jesus Christ, God's only Son, To our low state descended, The cause of Death he has undone, His power forever ended, Ruined all his right and claim, And left him nothing but the name,-- His sting is lost forever. Hallelujah! 4 It was a strange and dreadful fray, When Death and Life contended; But it was Life that won the day, The reign of Death was ended. Holy Scripture plainly saith, That Death is swallowed up by Death, Made henceforth a derision. Hallelujah! 5 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see, Whom God so freely gave us; He died on the accursèd tree, So strong His love! to save us. See! His blood doth mark our door, Faith points to it, death passes o'er, The Murderer can not harm us. Hallelujah! 6 So let us keep the festival With heartfelt exultation. Christ is Himself the Joy of all, The Sun of our salvation. By His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 7 Then let us feast this Easter-day On Christ, the Bread of heaven; The Word of grade hath purged away The old and evil leaven; Christ alone our souls will feed, He is our meat and drink, indeed; Faith lives upon no other. Hallelujah! Topics: Easter Languages: English

Jesus Christ, my sure Defence

Hymnal: ELHL1892 #94 (1893) Meter: 7.8.7 Lyrics: 1 JESUS Christ, my sure Defence And my Saviour, ever liveth; Knowing this, my confidence Rests upon the hope it giveth, Though the night of death be fraught Still with many an anxious thought. 2 Jesus, my Redeemer, lives! I, too, unto life must waken; Endless joy my Saviour gives; Shall my courage then be shaken? Shall I fear? or could the Head Rise and leave His members dead? 3 Nay, too closely am I bound Unto Him by hope forever; Faith's strong hand the Rock hath found, Grasped it, and will leave it never; Not the ban of death can part From its Lord the trusting heart. 4 I am only flesh and blood, And on this corruption seizeth; But I know my Lord and God From the grave my body raiseth, That with Him eternally In His glory I may be. 5 Glorified I shall again With this skin then be enshrouded, In this body I shall then See my God with eyes unclouded, In this flesh I then chall see Jesus Christ eternally. 6 Then these eyes my Lord shall know, My Redeemer and my Brother; In His love my soul shall glow,-- I myself, and not another! Only there shall disappear Weakness in and round me here. 7 What now sickens, mourns, and sighs, Christ with Him in glory bringeth; Earthly is the seed and dies, Heavenly from the grave it springeth; Natural is the death we die, Spiritual our life on high. 8 Then take comfort, nay, rejoice! For His members Christ will cherish; Fear not, they will know His voice, Though awhile they seem to perish, When the final trump is heard, And the deaf, cold grave is stirred. 9 Laugh to scorn the gloomy grave, And at death no longer tremble, For the Lord, who comes to save, Round Him shall His saints assemble, Raising them o'er all their foes, Mortal weakness, fear, and woes. 10 Only draw away your heart Now from pleasures base and hollow: Would ye there with Christ have part, Here His footsteps ye must follow; Fix your hearts beyond the skies, Whither ye yourselves would rise!

Satan conquered and the grave, Jesus now is strong to save, 3 Why that blood His raiment staining? 'Tis the blood of many slain: Of His foes there's none remaining, None the contest to maintain. Fall'n they are, no more to rise; All their glory prostrate lies. 4 Mighty Victor! reign forever, Wear the crown so dearly won; Never shall Thy people, never, Cease to sing what Thou hast done: Thou hast fought Thy people's foes; Thou hast healed Thy people's woes.
