Christ is alive! Let Christians sing
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 54 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:5 Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now,
and touching every place and time.
3 In every insult, rift, and war,
where colour, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.

good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love, and praise. Topics: Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; Social Concern; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: OLD CLARENDONIAN

Christ, Whose Glory Fills the Skies
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7 Appears in 475 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:3-5 Lyrics: 1 Christ, whose glory fills the skies;
Christ, the true, the only light;
Sun of Righteousness, arise;
triumph o'er the shades of night;
Dayspring from on high, be near;
Daystar, in my heart appear.
2 Dark and cheerless is the morn
unaccompanied by thee;
joyless is the day's return
till thy mercy's beams I see;
till they inward light impart,
cheer my eyes and warm my heart.
3 Visit then this soul of mine;
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, radiancy divine;
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more thyself display,
shining to the perfect day.

Conscience Stings
Author: Daniel S. Warner Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:5 First Line: In the chambers of thy bosom Refrain First Line: Come, poor sinner, lost and sighing Lyrics: 1 In the chambers of thy bosom,
Lives a faithful monitor,
Keeping vigil for thy freedom,
Bidding thee all sin abhor.
Refrain:
Come, poor sinner, lost and sighing,
Do obey that inner voice;
Hark, it tells of Jesus dying—
Make His love thy holy choice.
2 In thy heart, O wretched sinner,
Heaven placed that sentinel,
Thee to guard and keep forever
From the awful road to hell. [Refrain]
3 See the precious blood of Jesus,
It will purge thy conscience pure,
Then in heaven’s sweet approval,
Peace will flow forevermore. [Refrain]
4 Oh, remember thou art sinning
’Gainst the very love of God;
Hence thy guilty conscience, stinging,
Smites thee with an angry rod. [Refrain]
5 Louder, louder, conscience crying,
Suffers not thy soul to rest;
Nearer, nearer, comes thy dying,
Can you face the solemn test? [Refrain]
6 Hope will end, but conscience never,
With thy spirit it will fly;
Yea, torment, and chide the ever,
Where the worm shall never die.

Come, Celebrate the Call of God
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 3 hymnals Scripture: Acts 9:1-18 Lyrics: 1 Come, celebrate the call of God
that wakens and renews,
and chooses from us, for our good,
the bringers of good news.
The Spirit's blessing all ordains
to show what God has done,
yet brings to focus and contains
the many in the one.
2 A chosen one today replies,
and fit and ready stands.
*Her calling now we recognize
with prayer and loving hands.
A servant leader, truthful friend,
we gladly will receive,
to stir and comfort, shake and mend,
be glad with us, and grieve.
3 Great Spirit, give *her word and breath
in Christ to live and speak,
and shield against the powers of death
the outcast and the weak,
*her flag of faith, above defeats,
in heaven's breeze unfurled,
as all her deepest gladness meets
the hunger of the world.
*for her, read him when appropriate
