At the Name of Jesus

Author: Caroline Maria Noel (1817-1877) Meter: 6.5.6.5 D Appears in 253 hymnals Scripture: John 20:20 Lyrics: 1 At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now; 'tis the Father's pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word. 2 Brothers, sisters, name him with love strong as death, but with awe and wonder and with bated breath! He is God the Saviour, he is Christ the Lord, ever to be worshiped, trusted, and adored. 3 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true: let us grace support you in temptation's hour; and his will enfold you in its light and power. 4 In his Father's glory Christ shall come again, angel hosts proclaiming his return to reign. For all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of Glory now.

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna!

Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: John 20:10-18 Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Celebrate this day of days! Christ is risen! Hush in wonder: all creation is amazed. In the desert all-surrounding, see, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of love unknown. 2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. Drink the wine of resurrection. Not a servant, but a friend, Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim, demonic chorus: "Christ is risen! Get you gone!" God the first and last is with us. Sing hosanna, ev'ryone!
