Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Author: J. Fawcett, 1740-1817 Hymnal: ELH1996 #420 (1996) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: BOYLSTON Lyrics: 1 Blest be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love; The fellowship of kindred minds Is like to that above. 2 Before our Father's throne We pour our ardent prayers; Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, Our comforts and our cares. 3 We share our mutual woes, Our mutual burdens bear, And often for each other flows The sympathizing tear. 4 When here our pathways part, We suffer bitter pain; Yet, one in Christ and one in heart, We hope to meet again. 5 This glorious hope revives Our courage by the way, While each in expectation lives And longs to see the day. 6 From sorrow, toil, and pain, And sin we shall be free And perfect love and friendship reign Through all eternity.

Life and health and peace possessing From the sinner's dying Friend. 2 Here we rest in wonder, viewing All our sins on Jesus laid; Here we see redemption flowing From the sacrifice He made. 3 Here we find the dawn of heaven While upon the cross we gaze, See our trespasses forgiven, And our songs of triumph raise. 4 Oh, that, near the cross abiding, We may to the Savior cleave, Naught with Him our hearts dividing, All for Him content to leave! 5 Lord, in loving contemplation Fix our hearts and eyes on Thee Till we taste Thy full salvation And Thine unveiled glory see.

How Beauteous Are Their Feet

Author: I. Watts, 1674-1748 Hymnal: ELH1996 #192 (1996) Meter: 6.6.8.6 Tune Title: CARLISLE Lyrics: 1 How beauteous are their feet Who stand on Zion's hill! Who bring salvation on their tongues, And words of peace reveal. 2 How charming is their voice! How sweet their tidings are! "Zion, behold thy Savior King; He reigns and triumphs here." 3 How happy are our ears, That hear this joyful sound, Which kings and prophets waited for, And sought, but never found. 4 How blessed are our eyes That see this heav'nly light! Prophets and kings desired it long, But died without the sight. 5 The watchmen join their voice, And tuneful notes employ; Jerusalem breaks forth in songs, And deserts learn the joy. 6 The Lord makes bare His arm Through all the earth abroad; Let all the nations now behold Their Savior and their God.

The gates of brass before Him burst, The iron fetters yield. 3 He comes the broken heart to bind, The bleeding soul to cure, And with the treasures of His grace To enrich the humble poor. 4 Our glad hosannas, Prince of Peace, Thy welcome shall proclaim, And heav'n's eternal arches ring With Thy beloved Name.

Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands

Author: M. Luther, 1483-1546; R. Massie, 1800-87 Hymnal: ELH1996 #343 (1996) Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Tune Title: CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands, For our offenses given; But now at God's right hand He stands And brings us life from heaven; Therefore let us joyful be And sing to God right thankfully Loud songs of allelujah! Allelujah! 2 No son of man could conquer death, Such mischief sin had wrought us, For innocence dwelt not on earth, And therefore death had brought us Into thraldom from of old And ever grew more strong and bold And kept us in its bondage. Alleluia! 3 But Jesus Christ, God's only Son, To our low state descended, The cause of death He has undone, Its pow'r forever ended, Ruined all its right and claim And left it nothing but the name, Its sting is lost forever. Allelia! 4 It was a strange and dreadful strife When Life and Death contended. The victory remained with life, The reign of death was ended; Holy Scripture plainly saith That death is swallowed up by death, In vain it rages o'er us. Allelujah! 5 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see, Whom God so freely gave us; He died on the accursed tree-- So strong His love--to save us. See, His blood doth mark our door; Faith points to it, death passes o'er, And Satan cannot harm us. Allelujah! 6 So let us keep the festival Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the Joy of all, The Sun that warms and lights us. By His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Allelujah! 7 Then let us feast this Easter Day On Christ, the Bread of heaven; The Word of Grace hath purged away The old and evil leaven. Christ alone our souls will feed, He is our meat and drink indeed; Faith lives upon no other. Allelujah! Topics: Resurrection Languages: English

O grant us calm repose in Thee, A quiet night, from perils free. 3 Our sleep be pure from sinful stain; Let not the Tempter vantage gain, Or our unguarded flesh surprise And make us guilty in Thine eyes. 4 Asleep though wearied eyes may be, Still keep the heart awake to Thee; Let Thy right hand outstretched above Guard those who serve the Lord they love. 5 Behold, O God, our Shield, and quell The crafts and subtleties of hell; Direct Thy servants in all good, Who Thou hast purchased with Thy blood. 6 O Lord, remember us who bear The burden of the flesh we wear; Thou who dost e'er our souls defend, Be with us even to the end. 7 All praise to God the Father be, All praise, eternal Son, to Thee, Whom with the Spirit we adore Forever and forevermore.
