Now Thank We All Our God
Author: Martin Rinckart; Catherine Winkworth Meter: 6.7.6.7.6.6.6.6 Appears in 720 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:7 Lyrics: 1 Now thank we all our God
with heart and hands and voices,
who wondrous things has done,
in whom his world rejoices;
who from our mothers' arms
has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love,
and still is ours today.
2 O may this bounteous God
through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts
and blessed peace to cheer us,
to keep us in his grace,
and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills
of this world in the next.
3 All praise and thanks to God
the Father now be given,
the Son and Spirit blest,
who reign in highest heaven
the one eternal God,
whom heaven and earth adore;
for thus it was, is now,
and shall be evermore.

Author: Isaac Watts (1674-1748) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.8 Appears in 345 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:13-15 Lyrics: 1 Join all the glorious names
of wisdom, love, and power,
that mortals ever knew,
that angels ever bore:
all are too mean to speak his worth,
too mean to set my Saviour forth.
2 Great Prophet of my God,
my tongue would bless your name;
by you the joyful news
of our salvation came:
the joyful news of sins forgiven,
of hell subdued, and peace with heaven.
3 Jesus, my great High Priest,
offered his blood and died;
my guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside:
his powerful blood did once atone,
and now it pleads before the throne.
4 My dear Almighty Lord,
my Conqueror and my King,
your sceptre and your sword,
your reigning grace, I sing:
yours is the power: behold I sit
in willing service at your feet.
5 Now let my soul arise,
and tread the tempter down:
my Captain leads me forth
to conquest and a crown:
a feeble saint shall win the day,
though death and hell obstruct the way. Topics: Life in Christ Christ Risen - Reign and Priesthood; Jesus Names and images for Used With Tune: CROFT'S 136th

We Sing the Praise of Him Who Died
Author: Thomas Kelly (1769-1855) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 197 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:6-15 Lyrics: 1 We sing the praise of him who died,
of him who died upon the cross;
the sinner's hope let sin deride;
for this we count the world but loss.
2 Inscribed upon the cross we see
in shining letters, "God is love."
He bears our sins upon the tree;
he brings us mercy from above.
3 The cross -- it takes our guilt away;
it holds the fainting spirit up;
it cheers with hope the gloomy day,
and sweetens every bitter cup;
4 it makes the coward spirit brave,
and nerves the feeble arm for fight;
it takes its terror from the grave,
and gilds the bed of death with light.
5 The balm of life, the cure of woe,
the measure and the pledge of love,
the sinner's refuge here below,
the angels' theme in heaven above. Topics: Holy Week (Good Friday) Used With Tune: BOW BRICKHILL

They are nailed to the cross! Lyrics: 1 There was One Who was willing to die in my stead,
That a soul so unworthy might live;
And the path to the cross He was willing to tread,
All the sins of my life to forgive.
Refrain:
They are nailed to the cross! They are nailed to the cross!
Oh, how much He was willing to bear!
With what anguish and loss Jesus went to the cross,
But He carried my sins with Him there.
2 He is tender and loving and patient with me,
While He cleanses my heart of the dross;
But “there’s no condemnation”—I know I am free,
For my sins are all nailed to the cross. [Refrain]
3 I will cling to my Savior and never depart,
I will joyfully journey each day,
With a song on my lips and a song in my heart,
That my sins have been taken away. [Refrain] Topics: Crucifixion Used With Tune: [There was One Who was willing to die in my stead] Text Sources: Timeless Truths (http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Nailed_to_the_Cross); Anonymous/Unknown, The Blue Book (148)
Nailed to the Cross
Awake, My Heart, with Gladness
Author: Paul Gerhardt; John Kelly Meter: 7.6.7.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 27 hymnals Scripture: Colossians 2:15 Lyrics: 1 Awake, my heart, with gladness,
See what today is done;
Now, after gloom and sadness,
Comes forth the glorious Sun.
My Savior there was laid
Where our bed must be made
When to the realms of light
Our spirit wings its flight.
2 The Foe in triumph shouted
When Christ lay in the tomb;
But, lo, he now is routed,
His boast is turned to gloom.
For Christ again is free;
In glorious victory
He who is strong to save
Has triumphed o'er the grave.
3 This is a sight that gladdens;
What peace it doth impart!
Now nothing ever saddens
The joy within my heart.
No gloom shall ever shake,
No foe shall ever take
The hope which God's own Son
In love for me hath won.
4 Now hell, its prince, the devil,
Of all their pow'r are shorn;
Now I am safe from evil,
And sin I laugh to scorn.
Grim Death with all his might
Cannot my soul affright;
He is a pow'rless form,
Howe'er he rave and storm.
5 The world against me rageth,
Its fury I disdain;
Though bitter war it wageth,
Its work is all in vain.
My heart from care is free,
No trouble troubles me.
Misfortune now is play,
And night is bright as day.
6 Now I will cling forever
To Christ, my Savior true;
My Lord will leave me never,
Whate'er He passeth through.
He rends Death's iron chain,
He breaks through sin and pain,
He shatters hell's dark thrall,--
I follow Him through all.
7 To halls of heavenly splendor
With Him I penetrate;
And trouble ne'er may hinder
Nor make me hesitate.
Let tempests rage at will,
My Savior shields me still;
He grants abiding peace
And bids all tumult cease.
8 He brings me to the portal
That leads to bliss untold,
Whereon this rime immortal
Is found in script of gold:
"Who there My cross hath shared
Finds here a crown prepared;
Who there with Me hath died
Shall here be glorified."
Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Used With Tune: AUF, AUF, MEIN HERZ
