Why weepest thou?

Author: Beddome Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 28 hymnals Scripture: John 20:13 First Line: Why, O my soul, why weepest thou? Lyrics: 1 Why, O my soul, why weepest thou? Tell me from whence arise Those briny tears that often flow, Those groans that pierce the skies? 2 Is sin the cause of thy complaint, Or the chastising rod? Dost thou an evil heart lament, And mourn an absent God? 3 Lord, let me weep for nought but sin, And after none but thee, And then, I would, O that I might! A constant weeper be!

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. Sing hosanna, ev'ryone!
