Christ In The Bands Of Death Was Laid
Author: Martin Luther ; Arthur T. Russell Appears in 1 hymnal Lyrics: 1 Christ in the bands of death was laid,
For our transgressions given:
He rose: the way He open made
To life, the life of Heaven.
Therefore we will now rejoice,
And praise our God with thankful voice,
And raise our hallelujah! Hallelujah!
2 By none of all the sons of men
Could death’s dark realm be shaken:
Sin made our strength all weak and vain:
All have of guilt partaken.
Thus came death upon us all,
And bound the fallen world in thrall
Beneath his dread dominion. Hallelujah!
3 But Jesus Christ, God’s only Son,
Hath in our stead descended:
O’er death our Lord the victory won,
When He transgression ended.
He destroyed death’s power and claim,
And left to death an empty name:
Away his sting has taken. Hallelujah! Used With Tune: CHRIST LAG IN TODES BANDEN Text Sources: Enchridion (Erfurt, Germany:1524); Tr.: Psalms and Hymns (Cambridge, England: John Deigthon, 1851)

Thou Plenteous Source Of Light And Love
Author: John H. Gurney Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Thou plenteous source of light and love, Lyrics: 1 Thou plenteous source of light and love,
From whom all grace proceeds,
Chase from our souls the gloom of night,
And make us hate its deeds:
In armor clad of heavenly proof
We will not fear or fly,
But bravely through opposing hosts
Press onward to the sky.
2 If long and doubtful seem the strife,
Our pains and trials sore,
Such are the ills of mortal life,
And such our Savior bore:
Once, humbled from His lofty throne,
He dwelt in weakness here,
And His has been the struggling sigh,
And His the falling tear.
3 When time has run its destined course,
And all our years are fled,
He comes, with monarch’s pomp and power,
To wake and judge the dead:
Then help us, Lord, while sinners’ hearts
Shall sicken with dismay,
To lift our heads, and joyful hail
Redemption’s perfect day. Used With Tune: ANCYRA Text Sources: A Collection of Hymns for Public Worship (Lutterworth, England: 1838)
Thou Plenteous Source Of Light And Love
O Sing to the Lord, Whose Bountiful Hand
Author: Richard F. Littledale Meter: 10.10.10.10 Appears in 5 hymnals Lyrics: 1. O sing to the Lord, whose bountiful hand
Again doth accord His gifts to the land.
His clouds have shed down their plenteousness here,
His goodness shall crown the hopes of the year.
2. In clefts of the hills the founts He hath burst,
And poureth their rills through valleys athirst,
The river of God the pastures has blest,
The dry, withered sod in greenness is dressed.
3. And every fold shall team with its sheep,
With harvests of gold the fields shall be deep;
The vales shall rejoice with laughter and song,
And man’s grateful voice the music prolong.
4. So too may He pour, the Last and the First,
His graces in store on spirits athirst,
Till, when the great day of harvest hath come,
He takes us away to garner at home. Used With Tune: 67TH PSALM Text Sources: People's Hymnal, 1867
O Sing to the Lord, Whose Bountiful Hand

One in our hope of rest above;
One in our joy, our trust, our faith,
One in each other’s faithful love.
2 Yet must we part, and parting, weep;
What else has earth for us in store?
Our farewell pangs, how sharp and deep!
Our farewell words, how sad and sore!
3 Yet shall we meet again in peace,
To sing the song of festal joy,
Where none shall bid our gladness cease,
And none our fellowship destroy.
4 Where none shall beckon us away,
Nor bid our festival be done;
Our meeting-time th’eternal day,
Our meeting-place th’eternal throne.
5 There, hand in hand, firm-linked at last,
And, heart to heart, enfolded all,
We’ll smile upon the troubled past,
And wonder why we wept at all. Used With Tune: CAIRO

When this dread answer shall fall;
Weighed and found wanting—’twill pierce thy heart
At the last judgment call. [Refrain]

Search it and know thou art pure;
Unto its mandates in meekness bow,
Then thou shalt be secure. [Refrain]

Where every deed is made known,
Weighed and found wanting each guilty soul
Stands there before His throne. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Weighed in the balance of justice true] Text Sources: Truth in Song (Anderson, IN: Gospel Trumpet Publishing Company, 1907)

A Band Of Herdsmen Tarried Late
Author: John Brownlie Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 A band of herdsmen tarried late,
Through hours of night disconsolate;
Around, the snow lay glistening white,
And stars o’erhead were shining bright;
O favored shepherds, there shall rise
A brighter star in yonder skies.
2 Whence comes this glory, brighter far
Than light that shines from midnight star?
An angel from the Lord appears,
And lo! their minds are filled with fears;
O favored shepherds, wherefore fear?
The messenger of God is here.
3 O band of herdsmen, list! I bring
Glad tidings of a promised king;
Go, in a manger ye shall find
The new-born Savior of mankind;
O favored shepherds, such surprise!
To see the Christ in mean disguise.
4 Then stood the herdsmen all amaze,
For heaven with glory was ablaze;
And choirs of angels, clad in white,
Awoke with song the silent night;
O favored shepherds, ye were blest,
To hear that heavenly song expressed.
5 To God be glory, thus they sang,
While earth and Heaven with music rang;
And peace abounding henceforth dwell
With those on earth who please Me well;
O favored shepherds, night is past,
And morn, bright morn, is come at last.
6 O band of herdsmen, long ago,
That song was sung on earth below,
Now myriad hosts uplift the strains
That first awoke on Bethlehem’s plains;
O favored shepherds, round the throne,
The angel’s song is now your own. Used With Tune: BROWNWELL Text Sources: Hymns of the Apostolic Church (Paisley: Alexander Gardner, 1909)
