That Easter Day with Joy Was Bright
Hymnal: TPH2018 #361 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 That Easter day with joy was bright:
the sun shone out with fairer light
when to their longing eyes restored,
th'apostles saw their risen Lord.
2 His risen flesh with radiance glowed,
his wounded hands and feet he showed;
those scars their solemn witness gave
that Christ was risen from the grave.
3 O Jesus, King of gentleness,
do thou thyself our hearts possess,
that we may give thee all our days
the willing tribute of our praise.
4 O Lord of all, with us abide
in this, our joyful Easter-tide;
from ev'ry weapon death can wield
thine own redeemed forever shield. Topics: Christ As Conqueror; Christ Resurrection of; Joy Scripture: John 20:1-29 Languages: English Tune Title: PUER NOBIS NASCITUR

Shout, for the Blessed Jesus Reigns
Author: Benjamin Beddome Hymnal: TPH2018 #411 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 Shout, for the blessed Jesus reigns;
through distant lands his triumphs spread;
and sinners, freed from endless pains,
own him their Savior and their Head.
2 He calls his chosen from afar;
they all at Zion's gates arrive;
those who were dead in sin before
by sov'reign grace are made alive.
3 Gentiles and Jews his laws obey;
nations remote their off'rings bring,
and unconstrained their homage pay
to their exalted God and King.
4 O may his holy church increase,
his Word and Spirit still prevail,
while angels celebrate his praise,
and saints his growing glories hail.
5 Loud hallelujahs to the Lamb,
from all below and all above!
In lofty songs exalt his name,
in songs as lasting as his love.

who quench the coals of growing strife;
they shall be called the heirs of bliss,
the sons of God, the God of peace.

of pain and shame for Jesus' sake;
their souls shall triumph in the Lord,
glory and joy are their reward.

I Asked the Lord That I Might Grow
Author: John Newton Hymnal: TPH2018 #519 (2018) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 I asked the Lord that I might grow
in faith and love and ev'ry grace;
might more of his salvation know,
and seek more earnestly his face.
2 ’Twas he who taught me thus to pray,
and he, I trust, has answered pray'r,
but it has been in such a way
as almost drove me to despair.
3 I hoped that in some favored hour
at once he’d answer my request,
and by his love’s constraining pow’r
subdue my sins and give me rest.
4 Instead of this he made me feel
the hidden evils of my heart,
and let the angry pow’rs of hell
assault my soul in ev'ry part.
5 Yea more, with his own hand he seemed
intent to aggravate my woe,
crossed all the fair designs I schemed,
humbled my heart, and laid me low.
6 "Lord, why is this?" I, trembling, cried;
"Wilt thou pursue thy worm to death?"
"Tis in this way," the Lord replied,
"I answer prayer for grace and faith.
7 "These inward trials I employ
from self and pride to set thee free,
and break thy schemes of earthly joy
that thou may’st find thy all in me." Topics: Christian Life; Humility; Prayer; Sanctification Scripture: Proverbs 3:12 Languages: English Tune Title: ROCKINGHAM OLD

O Jesus, Son of God, alleluia!

where thou hast bid us sup with thee.

and men and angels sing before thee,
with harp and cymbal's clearest tone;

where we are with the choir immortal
of angels round thy dazzling throne;

hath yet attained to hear what there is ours;
but we rejoice, and sing to thee
our hymn of joy eternally. Topics: Christ Second Coming and the Last Judgment of; Church As Bride of Christ; Watchfulness Scripture: Isaiah 52:8 Languages: English Tune Title: WACHET AUF

O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
I claim a place, tho' weak and lowly,
among your seed, your chosen host.
Buried with Christ and dead to sin:
your Spirit e'er shall live within.
2 My loving Father, me you've taken
fore'er to be your child and heir;
my faithful Savior, me you've given
your righteous, holy life to share;
O Holy Spirit, you will be
a comfort, guide, and help to me.
3 And I have vowed to fear and love you,
and to obey you, Lord, alone;
because the Holy Spirit moved me,
I dared to pledge myself your own,
renouncing sin to keep the faith
and war with evil unto death.
4 My faithful God, your word fails never,
your cov'nant surely will abide;
oh, cast me not away forever,
should I transgress it on my side!
Though I have oft my soul defiled,
in love forgive, restore your child.
5 Yes, all I am and love most dearly
I offer now, O Lord, to you.
Oh, let me make my vows sincerely,
and what I say, help me to do.
Let naught within me, naught I own,
serve any will but yours alone.
6 And never let my purpose falter,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
but keep me faithful to your altar,
till you shall call me from my post.
So unto you I live and die
and praise you evermore on high. Topics: Baptism; Church; Covenant of Grace; Trinity; Union with Christ; Vows Scripture: Psalm 126:3 Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK

By Grace I'm Saved
Author: Christian L. Scheidt Hymnal: TPH2018 #432 (2018) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 First Line: By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless Lyrics: 1 By grace I'm saved, grace free and boundless;
my soul, believe and doubt it not.
Why stagger at this word of promise?
Has Scripture ever falsehood taught?
No; then this word must true remain:
by grace you too shall heav'n obtain.
2 By grace! None dare lay claim to merit;
our works and conduct have no worth.
God in his love sent our Redeemer,
Christ Jesus, to this sinful earth;
his death did for our sins atone,
and we are saved by grace alone.
3 By grace God's Son, our only Savior,
came down to earth to bear our sin.
Was it because of your own merit
that Jesus died your soul to win?
No, it was grace, and grace alone,
that brought him from his heav'nly throne.
4 By grace! O mark this word of promise
when you are by your sins oppressed,
when Satan plagues your troubled conscience,
and when your heart is seeking rest.
What reason cannot comprehend
God by his grace to you will send.
5 By grace to timid hearts that tremble,
in tribulation's furnace tried,
by grace, in spite of fear and trouble,
the Father's heart is open wide.
Where could I help and strength secure,
if grace were not my anchor sure?
6 By grace! On this I'll rest when dying;
in Jesus' promise I rejoice;
for though I know my heart's condition,
I also know my Savior's voice.
My heart is glad, all grief has flown,
since I am saved by grace alone.
7 By grace! This ground of faith is certain;
so long as God is true, it stands.
What saints have penned by inspiration,
what in his Word our God commands,
what our whole faith must rest upon,
is grace alone, grace in his Son.

If Thou But Suffer God to Guide Thee
Author: Georg Neumark; Catherine Winkworth Hymnal: TPH2018 #474 (2018) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 If thou but suffer God to guide thee,
and hope in him through all your ways,
he'll give thee strength, whate'er betide thee,
and bear thee through the evil days:
who trusts in God's unchanging love
builds on the Rock that naught can move.
2 What can these anxious cares avail thee,
these never ceasing moans and sighs?
What can it help, if thou bewail thee
o'er each dark moment as it flies?
Our cross and trials do but press
the heavier for our bitterness.
3 Only be still, and wait his leisure
in cheerful hope, with heart content
to take whate'er thy Father's pleasure
and all-discerning love hath sent;
nor doubt our inmost wants are known
to him who chose us for his own.
4 All are alike before the Highest;
'tis easy to our God, we know,
to raise thee up, though low thou liest,
to make the rich man poor and low;
true wonders still by him are wrought,
who setteth up and brings to naught.
5 Sing, pray, and keep his ways unswerving,
so do thine own part faithfully,
and trust his Word--though undeserving,
thou yet shalt find it true for thee;
God never yet forsook at need
the soul that trusted him indeed. Topics: Christian Life; God Incomprehensibility; God Love and Grace of; Patience; Submission; Tribulation and Suffering; Trust and Assurance Scripture: Psalm 55:22 Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK

By Grace I Am an Heir of Heaven
Author: Christian L. Scheidt; H. Breuckner Hymnal: TPH2018 #477 (2018) Meter: 9.8.9.8.8.8 Lyrics: 1 By grace I am an heir of heaven:
why doubt this, O my trembling heart?
If what the Scriptures promise clearly
is true and firm in ev'ry part,
this also must be truth divine:
by grace a crown of life is mine.
2 By grace alone shall I inherit
that blissful home beyond the skies.
Works count for naught, the Lord incarnate
has won for me the heav'nly prize.
Salvation by his death he wrought,
his grace alone my pardon bought.
3 By grace! These precious words remember
when sorely by your sins oppressed,
when Satan comes to vex your spirit,
when troubled conscience sighs for rest;
what reason cannot comprehend,
God does to you by grace extend.
4 By grace! Be this in death my comfort;
despite my fears, 'tis well with me.
I know my sin in all its greatness,
but also him who sets me free.
My heart to naught but joy gives place,
since I am saved by grace, by grace. Topics: Christian Life; Faith; Grace; Salvation by Grace; Trust and Assurance Scripture: Titus 3:5-7 Languages: English Tune Title: NEUMARK

The Day You Gave Us, Lord, Is Ended
Author: John Ellerton Hymnal: TPH2018 #161 (2018) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Lyrics: 1 The day you gave us, Lord, is ended,
the darkness falls at your behest;
to you our morning hymns ascended,
your praise shall hallow now our rest.
2 We thank you that your church, unsleeping
while earth rolls onward into light,
through all the world her watch is keeping,
and rests not now by day or night.
3 As o'er each continent and island
the dawn leads on another day,
the voice of pray'r is never silent,
nor dies the strain of praise away.
4 The sun, that bids us rest, is waking
our brethren 'neath the western sky,
and hour by hour fresh lips are making
your wondrous doings heard on high.
5 So be it, Lord; your throne shall never,
like earth's proud empires, pass away;
but stand and rule and grow forever,
'til all your creatures own your sway. Topics: Church Triumph of; Church Work of; Lord's Day Evening Worship Scripture: Psalm 45:6 Languages: English Tune Title: ST. CLEMENT

Day by Day and with Each Passing Moment
Author: Carolina V. Sandell Berg; A. L. Skoog Hymnal: TPH2018 #255 (2018) Meter: Irregular Lyrics: 1 Day by day and with each passing moment,
strength I find to meet my trials here;
trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,
I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure
gives unto each day what he deems best--
lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,
mingling toil with peace and rest.
2 Ev'ry day the Lord himself is near me
with a special mercy for each hour;
all my cares he fain would bear, and cheer me,
he whose name is Counselor and Pow'r.
The protection of his child and treasure
is a charge that on himself he laid;
“As your days, your strength shall be in measure,”
this the pledge to me he made.
3 Help me then in ev'ry tribulation
so to trust your promises, O Lord,
that I lose not faith’s sweet consolation
offered me within your holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,
e'er to take, as from a father’s hand,
one by one, the days, the moments fleeting,
'til I reach the promised land. Topics: Protection; Providence; Tribulation and Suffering; Waiting upon God Scripture: Deuteronomy 33:25 Languages: English Tune Title: BLOTT EN DAG
