Matthew 5:16

• [Mat 5:16] Be A Ray Of Sunshine

  Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go, Shining for the Savior with a steady glow; Bringing smiles to sad ones, wiping tears away, Make yourself a blessing every passing day. Refrain Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go, Shining for the Savior with a steady glow; Be a ray of sunshine filled with Heaven’s light, Sending forth a message beautiful and bright. Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go; Comfort bring to others, stoop to raise the low; Kind words cost but little, smiles bring pleasures, too; They may lift a burden; let them not be few. Refrain Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go; Cheerfulness is needed, this you can bestow; Help to chase the shadows from this world away, Bringing joy and gladness like a shining ray. Refrain Be a ray of sunshine everywhere you go; Stars will shine the brighter in your crown, I know; Sunshine brought to others will reflect on you, Heav’n will be the sweeter—keep the end in view.

  Give me, O Lord, a heart of grace, A voice of joy, a shining face, That I may show, where’er I turn, Thy love within my soul doth burn.

  Come, see the place where Jesus lies: The last sad rite is done; With aching hearts, and weeping eyes, The faithful few are gone.

By the sealed stone with grounded spears, The guards their vigil keep: They wist not other eyes than theirs Watch o’er the Savior’s sleep. All Heaven above, all hell beneath— 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! Yet needs there stronger arm than thine To keep the Lord of life. ’Tis done! O death, thy Victor-guest Hath smoothed thy visage grim! O grave! thou place of blessèd rest To all who sleep in Him!

• [Mat 28:6] Let Us Sing For Joy

  Day when Heav’n and earth unite in songs of gladness, Triumph telling, o’er the tomb; Day when mourning ones can banish all their sadness, Songs upswelling, where was gloom. Refrain Let us sing for joy, sing for joy, On this happy day; Christ is risen from the dead, He is risen as He said; Let us sing for joy, sing for joy, And His voice obey, Who the hosts of light to victory has led. Day when from the tomb the Christ arose in glory, As was breaking morning light, Day when angels tell to men the wondrous story, Hope awaking by His might. Refrain Day when earth may banish all its cares and sadness, And upraising songs of joy, Send abroad to all the world the Easter gladness, Ever praising—best employ. Refrain

• [Mat 28:6] Lord Of Life Is Risen, The

  The Lord of life is risen; Sing, Easter heralds, sing! He bursts His rocky prison; Wide let the triumph ring! In death no longer lying, He rose, the Prince, today; Life of the dead and dying, He triumphed o’er decay. The Lord of life is risen, And love no longer grieves; In ruin lies death’s prison, Sing, heralds, Jesus lives! We hear the blessèd greeting; Salvation’s work is done! We worship Thee, repeating, “Life for the dead is won!” Around Thy tomb, O Jesus, How sweet the Easter breath; Hear we not in the breezes, “Where is thy sting, O death?” Dark hell flies in commotion, The heavens their anthems sing; While far o’er earth and ocean Glad hallelujahs ring! O publish this salvation, Ye heralds, through the earth, To every buried nation Proclaim the day of birth! Till, rising from their slumbers, In long and ancient night The countless heathen numbers Shall hail the Easter light. Hail, hail, our Jesus risen! Sing, ransomed brethren, sing! Through death’s dark, gloomy prison Let Easter chorals ring! Haste, haste, ye captive legions, Accept your glad reprieve; Come forth from sin’s dark regions; In Jesus’ kingdom live!

• [Mat 28:6] Morning Breaks Upon The Tomb

  Morning breaks upon the tomb; Jesus scatters all its gloom. Day of triumph through the skies; See the glorious Savior rise. Ye who are of death afraid Triumph in the scattered shade. Drive your anxious cares away; See the place where Jesus lay. Christians, dry your flowing tears Chase your unbelieving fears; Look on His deserted grave, Doubt no more His power to save.

• [Mat 28:6] Sing The Joy Of Easter Day

  Refrain Sing the joy of Easter Day, The Easter triumph tell, Jesus rose on Easter Day, The Lord Who loves us well. Good Joseph had a garden; Close by that sad green hill Where Jesus died a bitter death To save mankind from ill. Refrain One evening in that garden Their faces dark with gloom, They laid the Savior’s body Within good Joseph’s tomb. Refrain There came the holy women With spices and with tears; The angels tried to comfort them, But could not calm their fears. Refrain Came Mary to that garden And sobbed with heart forlorn; She thought she heard the gardener ask “Whom seekest thou this morn?” Refrain She heard her own name spoken, And then she lost her care; All in His strength and beauty The risen Lord stood fair! Refrain Good Joseph had a garden; Amid its trees so tall The Lord Christ stood in Easter Day; He lives to save us all. Refrain And as He rose at Easter He is alive for ay, The very same Lord Jesus Christ Who hears us sing today. Refrain Go tell the Lord Christ’s message, The Easter triumph sing, Till all His waiting children know That Jesus is their King. Refrain

• [Mat 28:6] Sinners, Dismiss Your Fear

  Sinners, dismiss your fear, The joyful tidings hear! This the word that Jesus said, O believe, and feel it true; Christ is risen from the dead, Lives the Lord Who died for you! Haste, to His tomb repair, And see the tokens there; See the place where Jesus lay, Mark the burial cloths He wore; Angels near His relics stay, 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! Mary—know thy Savior’s voice, Hear it, and reply, “My Lord.”

• [Mat 28:6] Sweet And Clear The Birds Are Singing

  Sweet and clear the birds are singing, At Easter dawn. Hark, O hear, the bells are ringing, On Easter morn! And the song that they sing, That good news we hear them ring, Is “Christ the Lord is risen, is risen.” Birds, your hearts give to your singing, And feel no fear. Bells, fill all the air with ringing, Let all men hear! For the whole world is glad, And with beauty new is clad; Now Christ the Lord is risen, is risen. Leaf and bud, as now, were growing In Galilee; Lilies Jesus loved were blowing As fair to see; When the first Easter morn Woke the world to joy new born, For Christ the Lord is risen, was risen. Easter buds will soon be flowers, Fragrant and gay; Winter’s snows give place to showers, And night to day; Hope and joy come again, Life and light forever reign; Yea! Christ the Lord is risen, is risen!

• [Mat 28:6] Ye Humble Souls That Seek The Lord

  Ye humble souls, that seek the Lord, Chase all your fears away; And bow with rapture down to see The place where Jesus lay. Thus low the Lord of life was brought; Such wonders love can do: Thus cold in death that bosom lay, Which throbbed and bled for you. A moment give a loose to grief, Let grateful sorrows rise, And wash the bloody stains away, With torrents from your eyes. Then raise your eyes, and tune your songs, The Savior lives again: Not all the bolts and bars of death The Conqueror could detain. High o’er the angelic bands He rears His once dishonored head; And through unnumbered years He reigns, Who dwelt among the dead. With joy like His shall every saint His vacant tomb survey; Then rise with His ascending Lord To realms of endless day.
