Watch o’er the Savior’s sleep.

Bright hope, and blank dismay—
Look on, to see if grisly death
Can hold his mighty Prey.Now grisly death, thy powers combine!
Now gird thee to the strife!

To keep the Lord of life.

The Savior will Himself be there,
Your Advocate and Friend:
Once by the law your hopes were slain,
But now in Christ ye live again.How tranquil now the rising day!
’Tis Jesus still appears,
A risen Lord to chase away
Your unbelieving fears:
O weep no more your comforts slain;
The Lord is risen; He lives again.And when the shades of evening fall,
When life’s last hour draws nigh,
If Jesus shine upon the soul,
How blissful then to die!
Since He has risen that once was slain,
Ye die in Christ to live again.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:6] I Say To All Men Far And Near
I say to all men far and near
That He is risen again;
That He is with us now and here,
And ever shall remain.And what I say, let each this morn,
Go tell it to his friend,
That soon in every place shall dawn
His kingdom without end.The fears of death and of the grave
Are whelmed beneath the sea;
And every heart now light and brave
May face the things to be.The way of darkness that He trod
To heaven at last shall come,
And he who hearkens to His Word
Shall reach His Father’s home.Now let the mourner grieve no more
Though his belovèd sleep:
A happier meeting shall restore
Their light to eyes that weep.He lives! His presence hath not ceased,
Though foes and fears be rife;
And thus we hail in Easter’s feast
A world renewed to life!Play source: Cyberhymnal -

Close by that sad green hill
Where Jesus died a bitter death
To save mankind from ill.Refrain

Within good Joseph’s tomb.Refrain

Guards of Him Who dies no more.Why then art thou cast down,
Thou poor afflicted one?
Full of doubts, and griefs, and fears,
Look into that open grave!
Died He not to dry thy tears?
Rose He not thy soul to save?Know’st thou not where to find
The Savior of mankind?
He hath borne Himself away,
He from death Himself hath freed,
He on the third glorious day,
Rose triumphant from the dead.To purge thy guilty stain
He died, and rose again;
Wherefore dost thou weep and mourn?
Sinner, lift thine heart and eye,
Turn thee, to thy Jesus turn,
See thy loving Savior nigh.He comes His own to claim,
He calls thee by thy name:
Drooping soul, rejoice, rejoice,
See Him there to life restored!

Their Lord, the living Lord, they meet,
And prostrate fall to kiss His feet.So when His mourning followers heard
The tidings of that faithful word,
Quick went they forth to Galilee,
Their loved and lost once more to see.On that fair day of Paschal joy
The sunshine was without alloy,
When to their very eyes restored
They looked upon the risen Lord.The wounds before their eyes displayed
They see in living light arrayed,
And that they see they testify
In open witness fearlessly.O Christ, the King of gentleness,
Our several hearts do Thou possess,
They we may render all our days
Thy meed of thankfulness and praise.Maker of all, to Thee we pray,
Fulfill in us Thy joy today;
When death assails, grant, Lord, that we
May share Thy Paschal victory.To Thee Who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, Thy people give;

For their dear Lord so lately slain,
By rebel servants doomed to die
A death of cruel agony.With gentle voice the angel gave
The women tidings at the grave;
“Fear not, your Master shall ye see;
He goes before to Galilee.”Then, hastening on their eager way
The joyful tidings to convey,

And falling at His feet adored.Th’Eleven, when they hear, with speed
To Galilee forthwith proceed,

I had wandered off from Heaven,
On the mountains cold and gray,
When I heard my Savior calling,
To His lost sheep far away;
How I listened as the tear drops
Coursed adown like falling rain,
While His tender words of promise,
Made my spirit glad again.Refrain
“Come, oh, come to Me,” said Jesus,
Come and I will give you rest,
I will take away the burden
From the heavy laden breast.
No matter who the wand’rer,
Nor how far he’s gone astray,
Behold, whosoever cometh,
I will comfort him today.I was working in the temple
With the Savior by my side,
Where the multitude assembled,
In its misery and pride;
Glancing upward from my labor
I just caught His distant smile,
“You have placed your work between us,
Come and talk with Me awhile.”Refrain
Many early friends had left me,
While the vacant room and chair,
Were reminders of the prices
I had paid down to be there;
I was brooding o’er my losses
When the Savior spoke to me,
“You have let your sorrows settle,
Like a cloud ’tween Me and thee.”Refrain
Then I saw at once that Jesus
Could be better far than all;
He could lighten up the pathway,
Could surround me like a wall;
He could take the place of loved ones,
Wipe the falling tears away,
Turn my sorrows into laughter,
Change the night-tide into day.Refrain
So I heard the Savior calling,
“Come thou weary one away,”
And my answer quickly followed,
“Lord, I’m coming home today”;

It tells me where my soul may flee:
O to the weary, faint, oppressed,
How sweet the bidding, “Come to Me.”When the poor heart with anguish learns
That earthly props resigned must be,
And from each broken cistern turns,
It hears the accents, “Come to Me.”When against sin I strive in vain,
And cannot from its yoke get free,
Sinking beneath the heavy chain,
The words arrest me, “Come to Me.”When nature shudders, loath to part
From all I love, enjoy, and see;
When a faint chill steals o’er my heart,
A sweet voice utters, “Come to Me.”“Come, for all else must fall and die;
Earth is no resting-place for thee;
Heavenward direct thy weeping eye,
I am thy Portion; come to Me.”O voice of mercy! voice of love!

But God the Lord is with us,
A tower that cannot fall.
We need no mighty army,
No weapons made of man;
Watch God supply the helpers,
And then reveal the plan.As Abraham gave Isaac,
As parents so may we
Be asked to give our children
For service full and free.
If asked, then, do not falter,
But send them on their way
To spread the wondrous tidings,
That night may turn to day.As Moses stood in Egypt,
And God gave words to speak,
So will He give us boldness,
Though we be frail and weak.
His Spirit will empower us
To reach the sinner’s heart
And bring the lost to Jesus,
As destined from the start.Like Samson consecrated,
If we stay true to God,
He gives us strength and power,
The Spirit’s mighty rod.
But if we fall away, then,
Our weakness will return;
So pray, stay loyal, faithful,
And God His might will lend.Like Paul, there may be suffering,
And heavy the demands,
But heed not the rejection,
And hold to His commands.
“Teach all that I have taught you,
As witnesses be true;
Tell all the world My Gospel,
And I will be with you.”Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:19] Endless Line Of Splendor, An
An endless line of splendor,
These troops with Heav’n for home,
With creeds they go from Scotland,
With incense go from Rome.
These, in the Name of Jesus,
Against the dark gods stand,
They gird the earth with valor,
They heed their King’s command.Onward the line advances,
Shaking the hills with power,
Slaying the hidden demons,
The lions that devour.
No bloodshed in the wrestling—
But souls new born arise—
The nations growing kinder,
The child-hearts growing wise.What is the final ending?
The issue, can we know?
Will Christ outlive Mohammed?
Will Kali’s altar go?
This is our faith tremendous—
Our wild hope, who shall scorn—
That in the Name of Jesus
The world shall be reborn!Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:19] From Greenland’s Icy Mountains
From Greenland’s icy mountains, from India’s coral strand;
Where Afric’s sunny fountains roll down their golden sand:
From many an ancient river, from many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver their land from error’s chain.What though the spicy breezes blow soft o’er Ceylon’s isle;
Though every prospect pleases, and only man is vile?
In vain with lavish kindness the gifts of God are strown;
The heathen in his blindness bows down to wood and stone.Shall we, whose souls are lighted with wisdom from on high,
Shall we to those benighted the lamp of life deny?
Salvation! O salvation! The joyful sound proclaim,
Till earth’s remotest nation has learned Messiah’s Name.Waft, waft, ye winds, His story, and you, ye waters, roll
Till, like a sea of glory, it spreads from pole to pole:
Till o’er our ransomed nature the Lamb for sinners slain,
Redeemer, King, Creator, in bliss returns to reign.Play source: Cyberhymnal -

And ye shall prove My Gospel true,

Go cast out devils in My Name;

Though Greeks reproach, and Jews blaspheme.“Teach all the nations My commands,

Loud their holy war cry rang;

Never once they ceased to sing:

Great the conquests to be won,
Armèd hosts to meet and scatter,
Larger duties to be done.

Round the wide world let it ring:

Christ our Lord shall reign as King!Speed the cross through all the nations,
Speed the victories of love,
Preach the Gospel of redemption

We approach Thee for our dead;
Lead them, in the vale of fear,
Be Thy wings around them spread:
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Child of Mary, who didst bear,
Mortal flesh, for man to die;
Child of sorrow, toil, and care,
Grant them rest eternally.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Dweller in the vale of death,
Second Adam, source of life,
Wearer of the thorny wreath,
Victor in the deadly strife.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Thou who didst let fall the tear
On the grave of Bethany;
Who at Nain did stay the bier
That lone mother’s tear to dry.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Thou whose voice could wake the dead,
“Maid! I say to thee, arise!”
Who didst bow Thy dying hand
On the day of sacrifice.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.Thou who passedst through the gloom
Which enshrouds the vale of death,
Guide their footsteps through the tomb,
Shelter them Thine arms beneath.

Grant them mercy in that day.By Thy flesh with scourges torn,
By Thy suffering human soul,
By the crown of woven thorn,
By the mocking title-scroll.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.By the quiet rock-hewn cave,
Where Thy body slept so well,
When Thy Spirit, through the grave,
Entered to the realms of hell:
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.By Thy preaching of the Christ
To the souls in prison bound,
When was rolled away the mist
Which had hung their vision round.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.By the eternal sacrifice
Which Thou pleadest at the throne,
Only gift which can suffice,
For that gift is all Thine own.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.By the offering which we plead,
One with Thine in Heaven above,
By the Lamb whose five wounds bled,
To fill full our cup of love.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.In the fell and fearful day,
Day of fury and of ire,
When the earth shall melt away
In the thunder-blast of fire.
Lord of life and love, we pray,
Grant them mercy in that day.When to hear the doom are met
Saints and sinners, quick and dead,
And the great white throne is set,
And the books are open spread.

Though my foes may be strong and ruthless, still I dare to trust Thy grace.

He perceives, and helps me lovingly.
Tho’ I often feel forsaken, lonely,
He is ever near, for He did say:
“I am with you alway,” and this only
Gives me courage on my way;
“I am with you alway,” and this only
Gives me courage on my way.Piercèd Heart, with love o’erflowing, guide me,
Help me through life’s desert find my way,
Let my faith, no matter what betide me,
Find assurance in Thy wounds for aye.
To Thy bosom—for this life is fleeting—
Take me, wash my garments in Thy blood,
And arising may I, at Thy meeting,
Cry with joy, “My Lord and God!”
And arising may I, at Thy meeting,
Cry with joy, “My Lord and God!”Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:20] Wise Men Seeking Jesus
Wise men seeking Jesus,
Traveled from afar,
Guided on their journey
By a beauteous star.But if we desire Him,
He is close at hand;
For our native country
Is our Holy Land.Prayerful souls may find Him
By our quiet lakes,
Meet Him on our hillsides
When the morning breaks.In our fertile cornfields
While the sheaves are bound,
In our busy markets
Jesus may be found.He is more than near us,
If we love Him well;
For He seeketh ever
In our hearts to dwell.Play source: Cyberhymnal -
[Mat 28:20] Your Best Friend Is Always Near
When the shadows ’round you gather,
When the day is long and drear,
In the morning, or at midnight,
Your best Friend is always near.Refrain
Always near, always near,
Your best Friend is always near;
In your gladness, in your sadness,
Your best Friend is always near.When your courage almost fails you,
When you need a word of cheer,
There is One who will not leave you:
Your best Friend is always near.Refrain
When your fondest hopes have perished,
When so freely falls the tear,
He who knows and feels your sorrow—
Your best Friend—is always near.Refrain
When the valley of the shadow
You are treading, do not fear;
One there is who will go with you:
Your best Friend is always near.Refrain
