If Jesus Rose Not From The Grave

Author: Thomas Kelly Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 If Jesus rose not from the grave, The faith of all His saints is vain: That He can have no power to save, If death detains Him still, is plain. 2 If Jesus rose not from the grave, We’re guilty still, our sins remain: The hope is vain His people have; If Jesus rose not, hope is vain. 3 If Jesus rose not from the grave, His foes were right in all they said: For He to all assurance gave That He would rise, and leave the dead. 4 If Jesus rose not from the grave, Then all He said was empty boast: His claims no good foundation have; And they who sleep in Him are lost. If Jesus rose not from the grave, The thief that perished by His side, As just a claim as He would have, To be the sinner’s hope and guide. 5 But now is Jesus risen indeed: The first fruits He of those who sleep: Rejoice ye saints, the Prisoner’s freed; For who could such a prisoner keep? 6 He fought with Death, the saints’ last foe: And though He seemed to lose the day, ’Twas Death sustained the overthrow, Subdued by Him who seemed his prey. 7 Doubt then no more, ye saints, nor grieve The Lord is risen, is risen indeed; Because He lives, His saints shall live: Shall live with Him, their glorious head. 8 He sits at God’s right hand above, The dread of foes, the joy of friends; Supreme in power, in truth, in love, His kingdom, one that never ends. 9 The glorious day is drawing near, When He who lay in yonder tomb, With crowds of angels shall appear, And take His waiting people home.

Is This Thy Will, And Must I Be

Author: Susanna Harrison Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Is this Thy will, and must I be A living witness, Lord, for Thee? Must I Thy wondrous love record, And spread Thy praises far abroad? 2 Must I to all Thy saints unfold The things which Thou to me hast told? And shall the eyes of sinners see What Thou hast done for worthless me? 3 Wilt Thou no longer me excuse, And wilt Thou frown if I refuse? O let me have Thy presence still, And I’ll submit to all Thy will! 4 Make Thou my path of duty plain, And let Thine arm my soul sustain; Give me new strength, new courage here, And fill my soul with holy fear. 5 To Thee I dedicate the whole, Thine is my heart, and Thine my soul; Bless what my feeble hand hath wrought, And take the praise of every thought. 6 Wilt Thou, dear Lord, Thine handmaid own? Her offering with acceptance crown? Thy glory is her humble aim: Eternal glory to Thy name! Alternate last stanza: Wilt Thou, dear Lord, Thine servant own? My offering with acceptance crown? Thy glory is my humble aim: Eternal glory to Thy name! Used With Tune: WOODWORTH Text Sources: Songs in the Night (Ipswich, England: Punchard & Jermyn, 1780)
