Let Us Tell The Story
Author: Anonymous; John Mason Neale Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16561 Tune Key: g minor First Line: Let us tell the story Lyrics:
1 Let us tell the story,
How shame led on to glory;
How the Foe defying,
Joy was born from sighing,
Strength from weakness, living sprang from dying:
The Lord is King—the Lord bears sway:
The Lord hath made this glorious day
Of Easter.
2 Now upon Mount Sion
Upriseth Judah’s Lion;
Now His might He showeth,
Mighty ones o’erthroweth,
Conq’ring and to conquer, forth He goeth:
And Heav’n above and Earth below
One common Alleluia know
At Easter.
3 Every earthly battle
Is fought with armor’s rattle.
And with war-steeds prancing,
And with helmets glancing,
And with pennons in the breezes dancing:
Another foe, another fight,
Was fought before the morning light
At Easter.
4 Single warfare waging,
Embattled hosts engaging,
He, by none assisted.
He, by all resisted,
Met and conquered Hell, for conflict listed;
On Friday last His sword He drew;
The vanquished foe He overthrew
At Easter.

Let Us Tell The Story
Now Is The Time, Th'Accepted Hour
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16566 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: f minor First Line: Now is the time, th’accepted hour, Lyrics:
1 Now is the time, th’accepted hour,
O! sinners come away;
The Savior’s knocking at our door,
Arise without delay.
2 O! don’t refuse to give Him room,
Lest mercy should withdraw;
He’ll then in robes of vengeance come
To execute His law.
3 Then where, poor mortals, will you be,
If destitute of grace,
When you your injured Judge shall see,
And stand before His face.
4 O! could you shun that dreadful sight,
How would you wish to fly,
To darkest shades of endless night,
From that all-searching eye?
5 But death and hell must all appear
And you among them stand;
Before the great impartial bar
Arraigned at Christ’s left hand.
6 Let not these warnings be in vain,
But lend a listening ear;
Lest you should meet them all again,
When wrapped in keen despair.

Now Is The Time, Th'Accepted Hour
The Swift-Declining Day
Author: Philip Doddridge, 1702-1751 Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16611 Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Key: e minor or modal First Line: The swift-declining day Lyrics:
1 The swift-declining day,
How fast its moments fly!
While evening’s broad and gloomy shade
Gains on the western sky.
2 Ye mortals, mark its pace,
And use the hours of light;
And know, its Maker can command
An instantaneous night.
3 His Word blots out the sun
In its meridian blaze;
And cuts from smiling, vigorous youth
The remnant of its days.
4 On the dark mountain’s brow
Your feet shall quickly slide;
And from its airy summit dash
Your momentary pride.
5 Give glory to the Lord,
Who rules the whirling sphere;
Submissive at His footstool bow,
And seek salvation there.
6 Then shall new luster break
Thro’ horror’s darkest gloom,
And lead you to unchanging light,
In a celestial home.

The Swift-Declining Day
Now That The Day Hath Reached Its Close
Author: Johann F. Hertzog Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16661 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: f minor Lyrics:
1 Now that the day hath reached its close,
The sun doth shine no more;
In sleep the toil-worn find repose
And all who wept before.
2 But Thou, my God, dost never sleep,
For Thou Thyself art Light;
No darkness, howsoever deep,
Can dim Thy perfect sight.
3 Therefore, O Lord, remember me
Thro’-out the gloom of night.
Protect Thou me most graciously
And shield me with Thy might.
4 Keep Satan’s fury far from me
By many an angel arm;
Then shall I be from worry free
And safe from every harm.
5 I know the evil I have done
Doth cry aloud to Thee;
But yet in mercy Thy dear Son
Hath full atoned for me.
6 In Him accepted I shall be
When suppliant at Thy feet.
He is my surety and my plea
Before Thy judgment seat.
7 And so I close my weary eyes,
Sweet peace within my breast.
Why toss about in fears or sighs?
God watches while I rest.
8 Should this night prove the last for me
In this sad vale of cares,
Then lead me, Lord, to dwell with Thee
And all Thy chosen heirs.
9 And thus I live and die to Thee,
Strong Lord of hosts indeed.
In life, in death, deliver me
From every fear and need.

I Fall Asleep In Jesus' Wounds
Author: Paul Eber; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16666 Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Tune Key: c minor or modal First Line: I fall asleep in Jesus’ wounds Lyrics:
1 I fall asleep in Jesus’ wounds,
There pardon for my sins abounds;
Yea, Jesus’ blood and righteousness
My jewels are, my glorious dress.
In these before my God I’ll stand
When I shall reach the heav’nly land.
2 With peace and joy I now depart;
God’s child I am with all my heart.
I thank thee, Death, thou leadest me
To that true life where I would be.
So cleansed by Christ, I fear not death.
Lord Jesus, strength Thou my faith.

I Fall Asleep In Jesus' Wounds
A Pilgrim And A Stranger
Author: Paul Gerhardt; Jane L. Borthwick Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16667 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Tune Key: a minor First Line: A pilgrim and a stranger Lyrics:
1 A pilgrim and a stranger,
I journey here below;
Far distant is my country,
The home to which I go.
Here I must toil and travail,
Oft weary and oppressed,
But there my God shall lead me
To everlasting rest.
2 I’ve met with storms and danger
E’en from my early years,
With enemies and conflicts,
With fightings and with fears.
There’s nothing here that tempts me
To wish a longer stay,
So I must hasten forward,
No halting or delay.
3 It is a wellworn pathway;
A host has gone before,
The holy saints and prophets,
The patriarchs of yore.
They trod the toilsome journey
In patience and in faith;
And them I fain would follow,
Like them in life and death.
4 Who would share Abr’am’s blessing
Must Abr’am’s path pursue,
A stranger and a pilgrim,
Like him, must journey thro’.
The foes must be encountered,
The dangers must be passed;
A faithful soldier only
Receives the crown at last.
5 So I must hasten forward
Thank God, the end will come!
This land of passing shadows
Is not my destined home.
That evermore abideth,
The everlasting city,
Jerusalem above,
This evermore abideth,
The home of light and love.
6 There still my thoughts are dwelling,
’Tis there I long to be;
Come, Lord, and call Thy servant
To blessedness with Thee.
Come, bid my toils be ended,
Let all my wand’rings cease;
Call from the wayside lodging
To Thy sweet home of peace.
7 There I shall dwell forever,
No more a parting guest,
With all Thy bloodbought children
In everlasting rest,
The pilgrim toils forgotten,
The pilgrim conflicts o’er,
All earthly griefs behind me,
Eternal joys before.

The Rapture Of The Saints
Author: Edward Denny Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16671 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Tune Key: g minor First Line: Hark to the trump! Behold, it breaks Lyrics:
1 Hark to the trump! Behold, it breaks
The sleep of ages now:
And lo! the light of glory shines
On many aching brow.
2 Changed in a moment—raised to life,
The quick, the dead arise,
Responsive to the angel’s voice
That calls us to the skies.
3 Ascending through the crowded air,
On eagle’s wings we soar;
To dwell in the full joy of love,
And sorrow there no more.
4 Undazzled by the glorious light
Of that belovèd brow,
We see, without a single cloud,
We see the Savior now!
5 O Lord, the bright and blessèd hope
That cheered us through the past,
Of full eternal rest in Thee,
Is all fulfilled at last.
6 The cry of sorrow here is hushed,
The voice of prayer is o’er;*
’Tis needless now—for Lord, we crave
Thy gracious help no more.
7 Praise, endless praise alone becomes
This bright and blessèd place,
Where every eye beholds unveiled
The mysteries of Thy grace.

O Lord, My God, I Cry To Thee
Author: Nikolaus Selnecker; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #16673 Tune Key: c minor or modal First Line: O Lord my God, I cry to Thee Lyrics:
1 O Lord my God, I cry to Thee,
In my distress Thou helpest me;
To Thee myself I all commend,
Oh swiftly now Thine angel send
To guide me home, and cheer my heart,
When Thou dost call me to depart!
2 O Jesu Christ, Thou Lamb of God,
Once slain to take away our load,
Now let Thy cross, Thine agony,
Avail to save and solace me;
Thy death, to open Heav’n, and there
Bid me the joy of angels share.
3 O Holy Spirit, at the end,
Sweet Comforter, be Thou my Friend!
When death and hell assail me sore,
Leave me, oh leave me, nevermore,
But bear me safely through that strife,
As Thou hast promised, into life!
