Asleep in Jesus

From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
2 Asleep in Jesus! Oh, how sweet,
To be for such a slumber meet,
With holy confidence to sing
That death has lost his venomed sting!
3 Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest;
No fear, no woe, shall dim that hour
That manifests the Savior’s pow’r.
4 Asleep in Jesus! Oh, for me
May such a blessed refuge be!
Securely shall my ashes lie,
And wait the summons from on high.

Thy kindred and their graves may be;
But there is still a blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep. Topics: Anticipation Used With Tune: REST (BRADBURY) Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Asleep_in_Jesus); Anonymous/Unknown, The Blue Book (118)

Welcome, Happy Morning!
Author: Venantius H. C. Fortunatus, ca. 530-609; John Ellerton Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 282 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20-22 Lyrics: 1 "Welcome, happy morning!"
age to age shall say:
hell today is vanquished;
heav'n is won today.
Lo! the Dead is living,
God forevermore!
Him, their true Creator,
all his works adore.
2 Maker and Redeemer,
life and health of all,
thou, from heav'n beholding
human nature's fall,
of the Father's God-head
true and only Son,
manhood to deliver,
manhood didst put on.
3 Thou, of life the author,
death didst undergo,
tread the path of darkness,
saving strength to show;
come then, True and Faithful,
now fulfil thy word,
'tis thine own third morning;
rise, O buried Lord.
4 Loose the souls long prisoned,
bound with Satan's chain;
thine that now are fallen
raise to life again;
show thy face in brightness,
bid the nations see;
bring again our daylight;
day returns with thee.

Sinless in the sinner's stead.

Now he lives, no more to die.

God and sinners reconciled,
When in fierce and bloody strife
Met together death and life.

Raise your hearts with joy and say:
"Christ the Lord is ris'n on high;
Now he lives, no more to die."

What you saw along your way.

Of the risen Lord of light,
Empty tomb and angels seen
Where Christ's body once had been.
Christ my hope, raised gloriously,
Makes his way to Galilee."
4 Christ, who once for sinners bled,
Now the first-born from the dead,
Throned in endless might and pow'r,
Lives and reigns for evermore.
Hail, eternal Hope on high!
Hail, O King of victory!
Hail, our Prince of life adored!
Show us mercy, gracious Lord.

Victory over Death thro' Christ
Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 70 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:57 First Line: When death appears before my sight Lyrics: 1 When death appears before my sight
In all his dire array,
Unequal to the dreadful fight,
My courage dies away.
2 But see, my glorious leader nigh!
My Lord, my Savior lives;
Before him death's pale terrors fly,
And my faint heart revives.
3 He left his dazzling throne above,
He met the tyrant's dart,
And (O! amazing power of love;)
Receiv'd it in his heart.
4 No more, O grim destroyer, boast,
Thy universal sway'
To heaven-born souls thy sting is lost,
Thy night, the gates of day.
5 Lord, I commit my soul to thee,
Accept the sacred trust,
Receive this nobler part of me,
And watch my sleeping dust:
6 'Till that illustrious morning come,
When all thy saints shall rise,
And cloth'd in full immortal bloom,
Attend thee to the skies.
7 When thy triumphant armies sing
The honors of thy name,
And heaven's eternal arches ring
With glory to the lamb;
8 O let me join the raptur'd lays,
And with the blissful throng,
Resound salvation, power, and praise,
In everlasting song.

vict'ry o'er my passions giving,

naught from him my heart can sever,
life nor death nor pow'rs of hell,
joy nor grief, henceforth forever.
None of all his saints is lost:
Jesus is my hope and trust.

but my entrance into glory.
Courage, then, my soul, for thou
hast a crown of life before thee;
