Luke 24:1-11

• [Luk 24:1] Blest Morning, Whose Young Dawning Rays

  Blest morning, whose young dawning rays Beheld our rising God, That saw Him triumph o’er the dust, And leave His dark abode! In the cold prison of a tomb The dead Redeemer lay, Till the revolving skies had brought The third, th’appointed day. Hell and the grave unite their force To hold our God in vain; The sleeping Conqueror arose, And burst their feeble chain. To Thy great Name, almighty Lord, These sacred hours we pay; And loud hosannas shall proclaim The triumph of the day. Salvation and immortal praise To our victorious King; Let Heav’n, and earth, and rocks, and seas, With glad hosannas ring.

• [Luk 24:1] Let Us Rise In Early Morning

  Let us rise in early morning, And, instead of ointments, bring Hymns of praises to our Master, And His Resurrection sing: We shall see the Sun of Justice Ris’n with healing on His wing, Ris’n with healing on His wing. Thy unbounded loving-kindness, They that groaned in Hades’ chain, Prisoners, from afar beholding, Hasten to the light again And to that eternal Pascha Wove the dance and raised the strain, Wove the dance and raised the strain. Go ye forth, His saints, to meet Him! Go with lamps in every hand! From the sepulcher He riseth: Ready for the Bridegroom stand: And the Pascha of salvation Hail, with His triumphant band, Hail, with His triumphant band.

• [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.
