My Lord, What a Morning
Light's glittering morn bedecks the sky
Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.4.4.8.8 with alleluias Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:54-57 Lyrics: PART ONE -
1 Light's glittering morn bedecks the sky;
heaven thunders forth its victor-cry:
Alleluia.
The glad earth shouts her triumph high,
and groaning hell makes wild reply:
Alleluia.
2 While he, the King, the mighty King,
despoiling death of all its sting,
and trampling down the powers of night,
brings forth his ransomed saints to light:
3 His tomb of late the threefold guard
of watch and stone and seal had barred;
but now, in pomp and triumph high,
he comes from death to victory:
4 The pains of hell are loosed at last,
the days of mourning now are past;
an angel robed in light hath said,
'The Lord is risen from the dead':
PART TWO -
5 O bitter the apostles' pain
for their dear lord so lately slain,
by rebel servants doomed to die
a death of cruel agony:
6 With gentle voice the angel gave
the women tidings at the grave:
'Fear not, your Master shall ye see;
he goes before to Galilee':
7 Then, hastening on their eager way
the joyful tidings to convey,
their Lord they met, their living Lord,
and falling at his feet adored:
8 His faithful followers with speed
to Galilee forthwith proceed,
that there once more they may behold
the Lord's dear face, as he foretold:
PART THREE -
9 That Eastertide with joy was bright,
the sun shone out with fairer light,
when, to their longing eyes restored,
the glad apostles saw their Lord:
2 He bade them see his hands, his side,
where yet the glorious wounds abide;
the tokens true which made it plain
their Lord indeed was risen again:
3 Jesu, the King of gentleness,
do thou thyself our hearts possess,
that we may give thee all our days
the tribute of our grateful praise:
DOXOLOGY -

12 O Lord of all, with us abide
in this our joyful Eastertide;

from death to endless life restore;
Alleluia.

and Holy Ghost eternally:

Author: Venantius Honorius Fortunatus; Augustus Nelson, 1863-1949 Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Appears in 21 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15 Lyrics: 1 Praise the Savior now and ever;
praise him, all beneath the skies;
self denying, suffering, dying,
on the cross a sacrifice.
Victory gaining, life obtaining,
now in glory he doth rise!
2 Our work faileth, Christ's availeth;
he is all our righteousness.
He, our Savior, has forever
set us free from dire distress.
Through his merit we inherit
light and peace and happiness.
3 Sin's bonds severed, we're delivered;
Christ has crushed the serpent's head.
Death no longer is the stronger;
hell itself is captive led.
Christ has risen from death's prison;
o'er the tomb he light has shed.
4 For his favor, praise forever
unto God the Father sing.
Praise the Savior, praise him ever,
Son of God, our Lord and King.
Praise the Spirit; through Christ's merit
he doth us salvation bring.

captivity thence captive, us to win:

and grant that we, for whom thou diddest die,
being with thy dear blood clean washed from sin,
may live for ever in felicity:

may likewise love thee for the same again;
and for thy sake, that all like dear didst buy,
with love may one another entertain.

love is the lesson which the Lord us taught. Topics: Our Response to God in the morning and evening; Christ Risen Resurrection and Exaltation; Jesus Resurrection; Sunday Used With Tune: DUNOON

His member I shall be.

With cries of agony.

For me by Jesus' resurrection.

My radiant sun of grace.
His cheering rays beam blessings forth for all,
Sweet comfort, hope, and peace.
This Easter sun has brought salvation
And everlasting exultation.
I am content! I am content!

Awakened from the dead,
Arising glorious evermore to be
With You, my living head.
The chains that hold my body, sever;
Then shall my soul rejoice forever.
I am content! I am content!
