From The Graves Remove Dark Crosses
Author: P. C. Paulsen; N. F. S. Grundtvig Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 From the graves remove dark crosses,
Grow the lilies in their stead,
Blend the flow'r's with tender mosses,
Plant sweet roses in the bed.
Place, instead of signs of grief,
Angel wings in bright relief,
Palms, instead of columns broken,
Words of hope that God has spoken.
2 Sudden darkness light succeeded
When for us He shed His blood;
Brighter light to us was deeded
When the Victor with us stood.
Now our praises rise on high
'Neath the Easter morning sky
Unto Christ the resurrected,
Proved to be of God elected.
3 See the friends of Jesus grieving:
How they wring their hands in woe!
They, although in Him believing,
Saw Him yielding to the foe.
When, released from death's sharp throes,
He, the Easter Sun, arose,
They beheld the tomb now broken,
Angels pointing to the token.
4 Open,tomb, the saints surrender!
Jesus' voice in dusk of day
Sounds in accents strong, yet tender,
Shedding light upon our way;
He is calling, but not now:
Adam, sinner, where art thou?
No, He says with gracious favor:
Here am I, your risen Savior.
5 Now behold the God-man risen,
Broken are the chains of death,
Opened is our gloomy prison,
And His word is life and breath;
Now a summer morning bright
Dawns on us to end our night;
And, their Easter anthems singing,
Souls their way to Him are winging. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: JUTLAND

Who Will Join The Throng To Heaven?
Author: H. A. Brorson Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who will join the throng to heaven?
Come, our Savior calleth thee.
Come while yet the chance is given,
Humbly bow to Him the knee.
Turn from sin thy face away,
With the world no longer stray;
Greater things are thee awaiting
Than the world's despair and hating.
2 Hast thou spent thy days in chasing
Phantoms of delight and glee?
Hast thou fondly been embracing
Sin with all its agony?
Oh then turn to Calvary,
Let the cross thy solace be,
With a heart contrite and lowly
Give thyself to Jesus wholly.
3 He alone can safely guide thee
On the way to yonder shore,
Thou art safe with Him beside thee,
Having help for thee in store,
But without Him thou shalt fail,
All thy wisdom, like a tale,
In the final test shall perish;
Jesus only thou must cherish.
4 Come ye Christians brave the weather,
Courage take from God above,
Like a phalanx stand together,
Being one in faith and love.
Keep ye Jesus ever near
And His holy name revere.
Help and strengthen one another
Ev'ry selfish tho't to smother.
5 It is time we should be starting,
Death is swiftly drawing nigh;
Time, that we should be departing
For a place with Christ on high.
Take His cross and start today
All who dare not risk delay;
Come while yet the chance is given,
Who will join the throng to heaven? Topics: Call and Repentance Used With Tune: [Who will join the throng to heaven]

Heliga minnen
Appears in 1 hymnal First Line: Pilgrim, såg mig, hvar är grafven? Lyrics: 1 Pilgrim, säg mig, hvar är grafven?
Visa mig, hvar korset stod.
Bortom bergen, bortom hafven,
Bortom dal och bortom flod
Under palmer är en graf,
Lägg där ned din vandringsstaf,
Ty där flöt det blodet röda,
Lammets blod, som lät sig döda.
2 Grafvens mörker där betäckte
Himlens konung, Herren Gud.
Tvänne dagar sorgen räckte,
Tredje dagen glädjens bud
Kom till sorgsna vänner fram:
Jesus, som på korsets tam
Måst för världens synder blöda,
Är uppstånden från de döda. Used With Tune: [Pilgrim, såg mig, hvar är grafven?]
