Christ hath broken every chain! Hark, the angels shout for joy, Singing evermore on high, Alleluya! 2 He who gave for us his life, Who for us endured the strife, Is our Paschal Lamb to-day! We too sing for joy, and say Alleluya! 3 He who bore all pain and loss Comfortless upon the Cross, Lives in glory now on high, Pleads for us, and hears our cry. Alleluya! 4 He whose path no records tell, Who descended into hell; Who the strong man armed hath bound, And in highest heaven is crowned. Alleluya! 5 Now he bids us tell abroad How the lost may be restored, How the penitent forgiven, How we too may enter heaven. Alleluya! 6 Thou, our Paschal Lamb indeed, Christ, to-day thy people feed; Take our sins and guilt away, That we all may sing for ay, Alleluya! Used With Tune: WÜRTEMBURG Text Sources: German

When, rising from the bed of death

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 260 hymnals Topics: The Christian Year Passiontide Lyrics: 1 When, rising from the bed of death, O’erwhelmed with guilt and fear, I view my Maker face to face, O how shall I appear? If yet, while pardon may be found, And mercy may be sought, My heart with inward horror shrinks, And trembles at the thought; 2 When thou, O Lord, shalt stand disclosed In majesty severe, And sit in judgement on my soul, O how shall I appear? But thou hast told the troubled mind Who does her sins lament, The timely tribute of her tears, Shall endless woe prevent. 3 Then see the sorrow of my heart, Ere yet it be too late; And hear my Saviour’s dying groans, To give those sorrows weight. For never shall my soul despair Her pardon to procure, Who knows thine only Son has died To make her pardon sure. Used With Tune: THIRD MODE MELODY

So he makes his people free; Not a wound whence Blood is flowing But a fount of grace shall be; Yea, the very nails which nail him Nail us also to the Tree. 3 Jesu, may those precious fountains Drink to thirsting souls afford; Let them be our cup and healing, And at length our great reward: So a ransomed world shall ever Praise thee, its redeeming Lord.
