Welcome, thou Victor in the strife
Author: Catherine Winkworth; Benjamin Schmolck Appears in 63 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Welcome, Thou Victor in the strife,
Now welcome from the cave!
To-day we triumph in Thy life
Around Thy empty grave.
2 The dwellings of the just resound
With songs of victory;
For in their midst, Lord, Thou art found,
And brightest peace with Thee.
3 Impart to us the spoils, we pray,
Thou didst for us achieve;
We meet within Thy house to-day
Our portion to receive.
4 We die with Thee: O let us live
Henceforth to Thee aright;
The blessings Thou hast died to give,
Be daily in our sight.
5 Fearless we lay us in the tomb,
And sleep the night away,
If Thou art there to break the gloom,
And call us back to day.
6 Death hurts us not; his power is gone,
And pointless are his darts;
Now hath God's favor on us shone,
And joy fills all our hearts. Topics: The Church Year Easter; Easter Day Used With Tune: THANKSGIVING (Nun danket all und bringet Ehr)

Heal Us, Emmanuel
Author: William Cowper Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 75 hymnals First Line: Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer Lyrics: 1. Heal us, Emmanuel, hear our prayer
[originally, Heal us, Emmanuel, here we are]
We wait to feel Thy touch;
Deep wounded souls to Thee repair,
And Savior, we are such.
2. Our faith is feeble, we confess
We faintly trust Thy Word;
But wilt Thou pity us the less?
Be that far from Thee, Lord!
3. Remember him who once applied
With trembling for relief
Lord, I believe, with tears he cried;
O help my unbelief!
4. She, too, who touched Thee in the press
And healing virtue stole,
Was answered, Daughter, go in peace;
Thy faith has made thee whole.
5. Concealed amid the gathering throng,
She would have shunned Thy view;
And if her faith was firm and strong,
Had strong misgivings too.
6. Like her, with hopes and fears we come
To touch Thee if we may;
O send us not despairing home;
Send none unhealed away. Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG Text Sources: Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779)

Calm on the listening ear of night
Lord, when we bend before thy throne
Author: Joseph D. Carlyle Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 326 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Lord, when we bend before Thy throne,
And our confessions pour,
Teach us to feel the sins we own,
And hate what we deplore.
2 Our broken spirits, pitying, see;
True penitence impart;
Then let a kindling glance from Thee
Beam hope upon the heart.
3 When we disclose our wants in prayer,
May we our wills resign;
And not a thought our bosom share
Which is not wholly Thine.
5 Let faith each weak petition fill,
And waft it to the skies;
And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still
That grants it, or denies.
Amen. Topics: General; Penitence Used With Tune: [Lord, when we bend before Thy throne]

Blest With The Joys Of Innocence
Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 41 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Blest with the joys of innocence,
Adam our father stood,
Till he debased his soul to sense,
And ate th’unlawful food.
2 Now we are born a sensual race,
To sinful joys inclined;
Reason has lost its native place,
And flesh enslaves the mind.
3 While flesh, and sense, and passion reigns,
Sin is the sweetest good;
We fancy music in our chains,
And so forget the load.
4 Great God! renew our ruined frame,
Our broken powers restore,
Inspire us with a heav’nly flame,
And flesh shall reign no more.
5 Eternal Spirit! write Thy law
Upon our inward parts,
And let the second Adam draw
His image on our hearts. Used With Tune: GRÄFENBERG Text Sources: Hymns and Spiritual Songs, 1707-09, Book II
Blest With The Joys Of Innocence
Wie bist du mir so innig gut
Author: Gerhard Tersteegen, 1697-1769 Appears in 67 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Wie bist du mir so innig gut,
mein Hoherpriester Du!
Wie kräftig spricht Dein teures Blut
und bring mein Herz zur Ruh.
2 Wenn mein Gewissen zagen will
Vor meiner Sündenschuld,
so macht Dein Blut mich wieder still,
setzt mich bei Gott in Huld.
3 Es gibt dem schwerbedrückten Sinn
Freimütigkeit zu Dir,
daß ich in Dir zufrieden bin,
wie arm ich bin in mir.
4 Bin ich gestrauchelt hier und da
Und will verzagen fast,
spür Dein Versöhnungsblut ich nah;
das nimmt mir meine Last.
5 Es lindert meinen tiefen Schmerz
Durch seine milde Kraft,
es stillet mein verstörtes Herz
und neuen Glauben schafft.
6 Zieh mich in Dein versöhnend Herz,
mein Jesus, tief hinein,
laß es in aller Not und Schmerz
mir Burg und Zuflucht sein! Used With Tune: [Wie bist du mir so innig gut]
Wie bist du mir so innig gut
