• [1Pe 1:3] Bells Of Hope, The

  The bells of hope are ringing, O’er all the world today, And countless voices singing Join in the happy lay; The world is full of gladness, For hope today was born, When Christ, the King of glory Arose on Easter morn. Refrain Ring out, ye merry, merry bells, Good news to all you bring; Ring out, ring out, your happy chiming tells Of Christ our risen King. The bells of hope are ringing, All Nature’s bright and gay; She comes from death of winter Resplendent on her way; So help us, Heav’nly Father, To count all sin as dead, And grow with quickened purpose In Christ our living Head. Refrain The bells of hope are ringing; O saddened heart, now sing, For cruel Death is vanquished, And Christ is risen—King. The grave could not retain Him, Nor prove its boasted might, He burst the bands asunder And reigns in deathless light. Refrain

• [1Pe 1:3] Father Of Jesus Christ, My Lord

  Father of Jesus Christ, my Lord, My Savior and my Head; I trust in Thee, whose powerful Word Hath raised Him from the dead. In hope, against all human hope, Self desperate, I believe; Thy quickening Word shall raise me up, Thou shalt Thy Spirit give. Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees, And looks to that alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries, “It shall be done!” To Thee the glory of Thy power And faithfulness I give; I shall in Christ, at that glad hour, And Christ in me shall live. Obedient faith that waits on Thee, Thou never wilt reprove; Bt Thou wilt form Thy Son in me, And perfect me in love.

• [1Pe 1:4] Home At Last

  Cheer, O cheer, ye sons of Zion! Weary days will soon be past; Joy’s bright banner waving o’er us Tells that Heav’n is won at last. On that fair, celestial morning, Comes no cloud of grief or pain; In your peaceful tents abiding, Sorrow ne’er shall come again. Refrain Cheer, O cheer, ye sons of Zion! Weary days will soon be past; Joy’s bright banner waving o’er us Tells that Heav’n is won at last. Cheer, O cheer, the morn is breaking! Gloomy night will disappear; Christ will come with sweet awaking; Happier days will soon be here; Long the pilgrim path we’ve wandered, Long we’ve hoped ’mid doubt and fear, Hard we’ve pressed thro’ many a battle— Now the day of peace is here. Refrain Cheer, O cheer, the morn is breaking! Bright its beams of promise rise; Sing, O sing, ye heirs of Zion! Hear the welcome from the skies: “Come, ye blessèd of My Father,” Faint no more ’mid doubts and fears; Heaven’s bright portal opes before you; Wait for you immortal years. Refrain

1 Peter 1:21

• [1Pe 1:21] As Shadows Cast By Cloud And Sun

  As shadows cast by cloud and sun Flit o’er the summer grass, So, in Thy sight, Almighty One, Earth’s generations pass. And as the years, an endless host, Come swiftly pressing on, The brightest names that earth can boast Just glisten and are gone. Yet doth the star of Bethlehem shed A luster pure and sweet; And still it leads, as once it led, To the Messiah’s feet. O Father, may that holy star Grow every year more bright, And send its glorious beams afar To fill the world with light.
