We have heard the wondrous story

Hymnal: Hymns of the Early Church #87 (1913) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: We have heard the wondrous story Of the Resurrection morn; We have seen its matchless glory, Christ the risen Lord adorn. Let us worship and adore Him, Let us now fall down before Him. Men with erring sinners found Thee, Found the only sinless One; And upon a cross they bound Thee, For the good that Thou hadst done; Let us worship and adore Him, Let us now fall down before Him. 88 We have heard the wondrous story Of the Resurrection morn: Christ our God, to Him be glory, For the bands of death are torn; Let us worship and adore Him, Come and let us fall before Him. Come, ye faithful, come with gladness, To your God thanksgiving pay; For the Cross was shorn of sadness On the Resurrection day: Let us worship and adore Him, Come and let us bow before Him.

Thou Camest Down from Heaven on High

Author: Anna Hoppe Hymnal: The Hymnal and Order of Service #87 (1926) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 First Line: Thou camest down from heav'n on high Lyrics: 1 Thou camest down from heav'n on high, O Son of God the Father, For this lost world to bleed and die, Thy straying sheep to gather, The works of Satan to destroy, To turn our sorrow into joy. 2 In Thee the blind receive their sight, The lame with joy are leaping, The sorrowful find pure delight, The weary peaceful sleeping; Thou givest speech unto the dumb, And vibrant life to senses numb. 3 Thou Who hast broken Satan's power, Be Thou our Strength, dear Jesus! Uphold us in the evil hour, And from his might release us! His kingdom is a stronghold still, And legions hearken to his will. 4 But O, before Thy Word, dear Lord, The prince of darkness trembles! He quails before that two-edged Sword When Thine armed host assembles! O mighty Word, how great thy power! Thou art our refuge, shield, and tower. Amen.

To Realms of Glory I Behold

Author: Johan Olaf Wallin, 1779-1839 Hymnal: Hymnal and Order of Service #94a (1901) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 To realms of glory I behold My risen Lord returning; While I, a stranger in the earth, For heaven am ever yearning. Far from my heavenly Father’s home ’Mid toil and sorrow here I roam. 2 Far from my home--how long, dear Lord, Before my exile endeth? But far beyond the realms of sense My fervent prayer ascendeth: My prayer, unuttered, but a groan, Shall rend the skies and reach Thy throne. 3 Then visions of the goodly land By faith my soul obtaineth; There I shall dwell forevermore Where Christ in glory reigneth In mansions of that bright abode-- The city of the living God. 4 In that blest city is no night, Nor any pain or weeping; There is my treasure and my heart, Safe in my Saviour’s keeping; In heaven, my blessed Lord, with Thee, May all my conversation be. 5 In glory He shall come again To earth as He ascended; So let me wait and watch and pray, Until my day is ended. That day, O Lord, is hid from me, But daily do I wait for Thee. 6 And blessed shall that servant be, O Lord, at Thy returning, Whose heart is waiting, Lord, for Thee, Whose lamp is trimmed and burning; Him wilt Thou take to dwell with Thee, In joy and peace eternally.

Comfort, Comfort Ye My People

Author: Johann Olearius; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: Hymns to the Living God #94 (2017) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Comfort, comfort ye My people, speak ye peace, thus saith our God; comfort those who sit in darkness mourning 'neath their sorrow's load. Speak ye to Jerusalem of the peace that waits for them! Tell her that her sins I cover, and her warfare now is over. 2 Yea, her sins our God will pardon, blotting out each dark misdeed; all that well deserved His anger He no more will see nor heed. She hath suffered many a day, now her griefs have passed away; God will change her pining sadness into ever springing gladness. 3 For Elijah's voice is crying in the desert far and near, bidding all men to repentance, since the kingdom now is here. O that warning cry obey, now prepare for God a way; let the valleys rise to meet Him, and the hills bow down to greet Him. 4 Make ye straight what long was crooked, make the rougher places plain, let your hearts be true and humble, as befits His holy reign; for the glory of the LORD now o'er earth is shed abroad, and all flesh shall see the token that His Word is never broken.

Lady and Queen and Day of days, Of things divine, divinest! On thee our praises CHRIST adore For ever and for evermore.

Rise, Sion, rise, and looking forth, Behold thy children round thee! From East and West, and South and North, Thy scattered sons have found thee! And in thy bosom CHRIST adore For ever and for evermore. O FATHER! O co-equal SON! O co-eternal Spirit! In Persons Three, in Substance One, And One in power and merit; In Thee baptized, we Thee adore For ever and for evermore! Languages: English

Watchers, let your lights be burning

Author: John Brownlie Hymnal: Hymns of the Russian Church #112 (1920) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.8 Lyrics: Watchers, let your lights be burning, Soon the Bridegroom will be here; List! the footsteps now returning, Rise to greet Him, He is near; See your lamps are trimmed and burning, For the Lord at His returning. 113 Wake, awake, no time for sleeping, Though the midnight hour be dark; Faithfully your vigil keeping, You shall greet Him;--watchers, hark! Footsteps tell your Lord's returning, See your lamps are trimmed and burning. Ah, the shame when He appeareth,-- Sleeping watchers, flickering light; Ah, the sorrow when He neareth, In the middle of the night;-- Drowsy, in the dark reclining, While a myriad lamps are shining. Ah, my soul, bestir, awake thee, Day is passing, soon 'tis night; If the midnight hour o'ertake thee, Will thy lamp send forth its light? Wake, awake, thy Lord returneth, See thy lamp is trimmed, and burneth. Languages: English
