Lift Your Glad Voices
Author: Henry Ware Jr. Meter: 10.11.11.11.12.11.10.11 Appears in 162 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-10 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.

Ye humble souls that seek the Lord
Author: Doddridge Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 157 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Ye humble souls that seek the Lord,
Chase all your fears away;
And bow with reverence down to see
The place where Jesus lay.
2 Thus low the Lord of life was brought;
Such wonders love can do!
Thus cold in death that bosom lay,
Which throbbed and bled for you.
3 If ye have wept at yonder cross,
And still your sorrows rise,
Stoop down and view the vanquished grave,
Then wipe your weeping eyes.
4 But dry your tears and tune your songs,
The Saviour lives again;
Not all the bolts and bars of death
The Conqueror could detain.
5 High o'er the angelic band he rears
His once dishonored head;
And through unnumbered years he reigns,
Who dwelt among the dead. Topics: Christ Resurrection and Ascension; The Forsaken Sepulcher

Christ has burst his three days' prison:
let the whole wide earth rejoice!

Christ has won the victory.
2 Come, ye sad and fearful-hearted,
with glad smile and radiant brow;
Lent's long shadows have departed,
all his woes are over now,
and the Passion that he bore;
sin and pain can vex no more.
3 Christ is risen, Christ is risen;
he hath opened heaven's gate:
we are free from sin's dark prison,
risen to a holier state;
and a brighter Easter beam
on our longing eyes shall stream. Topics: Easter (season) Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

By All Your Saints Still Striving
Author: Horatio Bolton Nelson Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 96 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-18 Lyrics: 1 By all your saints still striving,
for all your saints at rest,
your holy name, O Jesus,
forevermore be blessed!
For those passed on before us,
we sing our praise anew
and, walking in their footsteps,
would live our lives for you.
2 We praise you for the Baptist,
forerunner of the Word,
our true Elijah, making
a highway for the Lord.
The last and greatest prophet,
he saw the dawning ray
of light that grows in splendor
until the perfect day.
3 All praise, O Lord, for Andrew,
the first to welcome you,
whose witness to his brother
named you Messiah true.
May we, with hearts kept open
to you throughout the year
proclaim to friend and neighbor
your advent ever near.
4 For Magdalene we praise you,
steadfast at cross and tomb.
Your “Mary!” in the garden
dispelled her tears and gloom.
Apostle to the apostles,
she ran to spread the word.
Send us to shout the good news
that we have seen the Lord!
5 We pray for saints we know not,
for saints still yet to be,
for grace to bear true witness
and serve you faithfully,
till all the ransomed number
who stand before the throne
ascribe all power and glory
and praise to God alone. Topics: The Church; Evangelism; Praise; Sending Used With Tune: KING’S LYNN
