Luke 24:4-8

• [Luk 24:5] Easter, Joyous Easter

  Easter, joyous Easter, holy happy time! Bells ring out their message, joy in every chime; Sweetly through their music, faint an echo swells, Voices seem to mingle with the bells. (Glad Easter bells.) Refrain Seek ye not the living here among the dead; Christ the Lord is risen, risen as He said; Blessèd reassurance, gone the weary night, Christ is risen! Easter breaks in floods of light! Voices in a garden, near a rock-hewn tomb, Gracious heav’nly voices, cheering earth’s dark gloom; Voices from the glory, sent from thence to tell, Jesus lives again! Immanuel! (Immanuel!) Refrain Other voices echo, through the Easter chime One above all others, speaks with pow’r sublime; Tender words of comfort, peace and love profound, O’er the world today His words resound. (His words resound.) Refrain

• [Luk 24:5] Hallelujah! Jesus Lives!

  Hallelujah! Jesus lives! He is now the Living One; From the gloomy halls of death Christ, the conqueror, has gone, Bright forerunner to the skies Of His people, yet to rise. Jesus lives! Why do you weep? Why that sad and mournful sigh? He who died our Brother here Lives our Brother still on high. Lives forever to bestow Blessings on His church below. Jesus lives! And thus, my soul, Life eternal waits for you; Joined to Him, your living head, Where He is, you shall be, too; With the Lord, at His right hand, As a victor you shall stand. Jesus lives! Let all rejoice. Praise Him, ransomed of the earth. Praise Him in a nobler song, Cherubim of heavenly birth. Praise the victor King, whose sway Sin and death and hell obey. Jesus lives! To Him my heart Draws with ever new delight. Earthly vanities, depart, Hinder not my heavenward flight. Let this spirit ever rise To its Magnet in the skies. Hallelujah! Angels, sing! Join with us in hymns of praise. Let your chorus swell the strain Which our feebler voices raise; Glory to our God above And on earth His peace and love!

• [Luk 24:5] Ye Fainting Souls, Lift Up Your Eyes

  Ye fainting souls, lift up your eyes To where the morning lights the skies! The awful shadows flee away Before the swift advancing day. The Lord is ris’n; He could not die; He lives for you eternally; And by His victory o’er the grave His people He will surely save! No longer mourn your seeming loss; No longer weep before the cross, Nor search the darkness of the tomb; While overheard the morn has come! Now what shall harm your joyful souls While your Redeemer all controls? No night shall hide again His face; No grave shall be His resting place.

• [Luk 24:6] Hear The Chiming Easter Bells

  Hear the chiming Easter bells, Their joyous music ringing; Hear the children’s happy voices, Easter carols singing. Ringing, ringing, singing, singing, Easter bells and happy voices; Christ arose on Easter day, And all the world rejoices, And all the world rejoices. Angels came from Heav’n above To tell the wondrous story: “Christ is risen from the dead, The Lord of life and glory.” “Seek Him not among the dead, The grave is not His prison; Go and His disciples tell, That Christ the Lord is risen.” Christ the Lord is ris’n today, Salvation to us bringing; Easter bells, ring out your chimes, While voices glad are singing.

Luke 24:20-27

• [Luk 24:23] All Ye That Seek The Lord Who Died

  All ye that seek the Lord Who died, Your God for sinners crucified, Prevent the earliest dawn, and come To worship at His sacred tomb. Bring the sweet spices of your sighs, Your contrite hearts, and streaming eyes, Your sad complaints, and humble fears; Come, and embalm Him with your tears. While thus ye love your souls t’employ, Your sorrow shall be turned to joy: Now, let all your grief be o’er! Believe, and ye shall weep no more. An earthquake hath the cavern shook, And burst the door, and rent the rock; The Lord hath sent His angel down, And he hath rolled away the stone. As snow behold his garment white, His countenance as lightning bright: He sits, and waves a flaming sword, And waits upon his rising Lord. The third auspicious morn is come, And calls your Savior from the tomb, The bands of death are torn away, The yawning tomb gives back its prey. Could neither seal nor stone secure, Nor men, nor devils make it sure? The seal is broke, the stone cast by, And all the powers of darkness fly. The body breathes, and lifts His head, The keepers sink, and fall as dead; The dead restored to life appear, The living quake, and die for fear. No power a band of soldiers have To keep one body in its grave: Surely it no dead body was That could the Roman eagles chase. The Lord of Life is risen indeed, To death delivered in your stead; His rise proclaims your sins forgiv’n, And show the living way to Heav’n. Haste then, ye souls that first believe, Who dare the Gospel-Word receive, Your faith with joyful hearts confess, Be bold, be Jesus’ witnesses. Go tell the followers of your Lord Their Jesus is to life restored; He lives, that they His life may find; He lives, to quicken all mankind.

• [Luk 24:27] In Thy Glorious Resurrection

  In Thy glorious resurrection, Lord, we see a world’s erection, Man in Thee is glorified. Bliss, for which the patriarchs panted, Joys, by holy psalmists chanted, Now in Thee are verified. Oracles of former ages, Veiled in dim prophetic pages, Now lie open to the sight; Now the types, which glimmered darkling In the twilight gloom, are sparkling, In the blaze of noonday light. Isaac from the wood is risen; Joseph issues from the prison; See the Paschal Lamb which saves; Israel through the sea is landed, Pharaoh and his hosts are stranded, And o’erwhelmèd in the waves. See the cloudy pillar leading, Rock refreshing, manna feeding; Joshua fights and Moses prays; See the lifted wave-sheaf, cheering Pledge of harvest-fruits appearing, Joyful dawn of happy days. Samson see at night uptearing Gaza’s brazen gates, and bearing To the top of Hebron’s hill; Jonah comes from stormy surges, From his three-days’ grave emerges, Bids beware of coming ill. So Thy resurrection’s glory Sheds a light on ancient story; And it casts a forward ray, Beacon light of solemn warning, To the dawn of that great morning Ushering in the judgment day. Ever since Thy death and rising Thou the nations art baptizing In Thy death’s similitude; Dead to sin, and ever dying, And our members mortifying, May we walk with life renewed! Forth from Thy first Easter going, Sundays are for ever flowing Onward to a boundless sea; Lord, may they for Thee prepare us, On a holy river bear us To a calm eternity!

• [Luk 24:27] Come Then, Thou Prophet Of The Lord

  Come then, Thou Prophet of the Lord, Thou great Interpreter divine, Explain Thine own transmitted Word: To teach, and to inspire is Thine; Thou only canst Thyself reveal: Open the Book, and loose the seal. Whate’er the ancient prophets spoke Concerning Thee, O Christ, make known, Sole subject of the sacred Book, Thou fillest all, and Thou alone; Yet there our Lord we cannot see, Unless Thy Spirit lends the key. Now, Jesu, now the veil remove, The folly of our darkened heart; Unfold the wonders of Thy love, The knowledge of Thyself impart; Our ear, our inmost soul we bow; Speak, Lord, Thy servants hearken now. Make not as Thou wouldst farther go, Our Friend, and Counselor, and Guide, But stay, the path of life to show, Still with our souls vouchsafe t’abide, Constrained by Thy own mercy stay, Nor leave us at the close of day. Come in, with Thy disciples sit, Nor suffer us to ask in vain, Nourish us, Lord, with living meat, Our souls with heavenly bread sustain; Break to us now the mystic bread, And bid us on Thy body feed. Honor the means ordained by Thee, The great unbloody sacrifice, The deep tremendous mystery; Thyself in our enlightened eyes Now in the broken bread made known And show us Thou art all our own.
