And may our faith abound
To call on You when You are near,
And seek where You are found.

In realms of clearer light
We may behold You as You are,
With full and endless sight.

and hail him as thy matchless king through all eternity.

and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save;
his glories now we sing who died and rose on high,
who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die.

rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified;
no angels in the sky can fully bear that sight,
but downward bends their burning eye at mysteries so bright.

creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime.
All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

Jacob's sons and daughters
led them with unmoistened foot
through the Red Sea waters.

Christ hath burst his prison,
and from three days' sleep in death
as a sun hath risen.
All the winter of our sins,
long and dark, is flying
from his light, to whom we give
laud and praise undying.
3 Now the queen of seasons, bright
with the day of splendor,
with the royal feast of feasts,
comes its joy to render;
comes to glad Jerusalem,
who with true affection
welcomes in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither might the gates of death,
nor the tomb's dark portal,
nor the watchers, nor the seal
hold thee as a mortal:
but today amidst thine own
thou didst stand, bestowing
thine own peace which evermore
passeth human knowing.

for those he loved until the end:
and his disciples still gather there.
to celebrate their Risen Friend.
A lasting gift Jesus gave his own:
to share his bread, his loving cup,
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
he by his Cross shall lift us up.
And after Supper he washed their feet,
for service, too, is sacrament.
In him our joy shall be made complete--
sent out to serve, as he was sent.
No end there is! We depart in peace.
He loves beyond our uttermost:
In every room in our Father's house
he will be there as Lord and Host.

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar
Author: Brian Wren (1936-) Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-18 Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar,
by Love's divine appointing.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
presiding and anointing.
A prophet-woman broke a jar,
the sneers of scorn defying.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
preparing Christ for dying.
2 A faithful woman left a tomb
by Love's divine commission.
She saw, she heard, she preached the word,
arising from submission.
A faithful woman left a tomb,
with resurrection gospel.
She saw, she heard, she preached the word,
apostle to apostles.
3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth,
for centuries were hidden,
unsung, unwritten, and unheard,
derided and forbidden,
the Spirit's breath, the Spirit's fire,
on free and slave descending,
can tumble our dividing walls,
our shame and sadness mending.
4 The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
by Love's divine ordaining,
the friends we need, to serve and lead,
their powers and gifts unchaining.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
from women, men and children,
the friends we need, to serve and lead.

Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
At the Name of Jesus
Author: Caroline Maria Noel (1817-1877) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 252 hymnals Scripture: John 20:20 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
2 Brothers, sisters, name him
with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder
and with bated breath!
He is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshiped,
trusted, and adored.
3 In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy,
all that is not true:
let us grace support you
in temptation's hour;
and his will enfold you
in its light and power.
4 In his Father's glory
Christ shall come again,
angel hosts proclaiming
his return to reign.
For all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of Glory now. Topics: Christ Risen Reign and Priesthood; Christ Risen Coming Again; Jesus coming again; Jesus Name; Temptation Used With Tune: CUDDESDON

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: John 20:10-18 Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout hosanna!
Celebrate this day of days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder:
all creation is amazed.
In the desert all-surrounding,
see, a spreading tree has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding
bring a taste of love unknown.
2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits
from the caverns of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning.
See what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection.
Not a servant, but a friend,
Jesus is our strong companion.
Joy and peace shall never end.
3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven
nevermore shall be the same.
Break the bread of new creation
where the world is still in pain.
Tell its grim, demonic chorus:
"Christ is risen! Get you gone!"
God the first and last is with us.

This Is the Day When Light Was First Created
Author: Fred Kaan, b. 1929 Meter: 11.10.11.10 Appears in 6 hymnals Scripture: John 20:1-9 Lyrics: 1 This is the day when light was first created,
Symbol and gift of order and design.
In light is God's intention clearly stated,
The break of day reveals his loving mind.
2 This is the day of our complete surprising,
Repeat of Easter: Christ has come to life!
Now is the feast of love's revolt and rising
Against the rule of hell and death and grief.
3 We join to praise, with ev'ry race and nation,
The God who with the world his Spirit shares;
Strong wind of change and earth's illumination,
Dispelling static thoughts and darkest fears.
4 This is the day of worship and of vision,
Great birthday of the church in ev'ry land.
Let Christians all confess their sad division
And seek the strength again as one to stand.
5 We pray that this, the day of re-creation,
May hallow all the week this is to come.
Help us, O Lord, to lay a good foundation
For all we do at work, at school, at home.

Author: Patrick Miller Kirkland, b. 1857 Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 5 hymnals Scripture: John 20:19-23 Lyrics: 1 Jesus, Lord, Redeemer,
Once for sinners slain,
Crucified in weakness,
Raised in pow'r to reign,
Dwelling with the Father,
Endless in your days,
Unto youe be glory,
Honor, blessing, praise.
2 Faithful ones, communing,
Toward the close of day,
Desolate and weary,
Met you in the way.
So, when sun is setting,
Come to us, and show
All the truth, and in us
Make our hearts to glow.
3 In the upper chamber,
Where the ten, in fear,
Gathered sad and troubled,
There you did appear.
So, O Lord, this evening,
Bid our sorrow cease;
Breathing on us, Saviour,
Say, "I give you peace."
