The day of resurrection!

Author: J. M. Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 516 hymnals Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; The Passover of gladness, The Passover of God. From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. 2 Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection-light; And, listening to His accents, May hear so calm and plain His own "All hail," and hearing, May raise the victor strain. 3 Now let the heavens be joyful, Let earth her song begin, The round world keep high triumph, And all that is therein; Let all things seen and unseen Their notes together blend, For Christ the Lord is risen, Our joy that hath no end. Amen. Topics: Eastertide; Processionals Eastertide Used With Tune: ALL HALLOW'S Text Sources: Greek

See the Conqueror mounts in triumph

Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 198 hymnals Lyrics: 1 See the Conqueror mounts in triumph; See the King in royal state, Riding on the clouds, His chariot, To His heav'nly palace gate! Hark! the choir of angel voices Joyful alleluias sing, And the portals high are lifted To receive their heavenly King. 2 Who is this that comes in glory, With the trump of jubilee? Lord of battles, God of armies, He hath gained the victory! He Who on the cross did suffer, He Who from the grave arose, He has vanquished sin and Satan; He by death has spoiled His foes. 3 While He raised His hands in blessing, He was parted from His friends; While their eager eyes behold Him, He upon the clouds ascends; He Who walked with God and pleased Him, Preaching truth and doom to come, He, our Enoch, is translated, To His everlasting home. 4 Now our heavenly Aaron enters, With His blood, within the veil; Joshua now is come to Canaan, And the kings before Him quail; Now He plants the tribes of Israel In their promised resting-place; Now our great Elijah offers Double portion of His grace. 5 Thou hast raised our human nature On the clouds to God's right hand: There we sit in heavenly places, There with Thee in glory stand. Jesus reigns, adored by angels; Man with God is on the throne; Mighty Lord, in Thine Ascension, We by faith behold our own. Amen.

Who are these like stars appearing

Author: H. T. Schenck; F. E. Cox Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.7 Appears in 145 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Who are these like stars appearing, These, before God's throne who stand? Each a golden crown is wearing; Who are all this glorious band? Alleluia! hark, they sing, Praising loud their heavenly King. 2 Who are these of dazzling brightness, These in God's own truth arrayed, Clad in robes of purest whiteness, Robes whose lustre ne'er shall fade, Ne'er be touched by time's rude hand? Whence come all this glorious band? 3 These are they who have contended For their Saviour's honor long, Wrestling on till life was ended, Following not the sinful throng: These, who well the fight sustained, Triumph by the Lamb have gained. 4 These are they whose hearts were riven, Sore with woe and anguish tried, Who in prayer full oft have striven With the God they glorified: Now, their painful conflict o'er, God has bid them weep no more. 5 These like priests have watched and waited, Offering up to Christ their will; Soul and body consecrated, Day and night to serve him still: Now in God's most holy place Blest they stand before His face. Amen. Topics: All Saints; Burial of the Dead; Processionals Saints' Days Used With Tune: ALL SAINTS

Hark! the sound of holy voices

Author: C. Wordsworth Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 236 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Hark! the sound of holy voices, Chanting at the crystal sea, Alleluia, alleluia, Alleluia, Lord, to Thee; Multitude which none can number, Like the stars in glory stands, Clothed in white apparel, holding Palms of victory in their hands. 2 Patriarch, and holy prophet. Who prepared the way for Christ, King, apostle, saint, confessor, Martyr and evangelist; Saintly maiden, golden matron, Widows who have watched to prayer, Joined in holy concert, singing, To the Lord of all, are there. 3 Marching with Thy cross their banner, They have triumphed, following Thee, the Captain of salvation, Thee, their Saviour and their King; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they suffered; Gladly, Lord, with Thee they died; And by death to life immortal They were born and glorified. 4 Now they reign in heavenly glory, Now they walk in golden light, Now they drink, as from a river, Holy bliss and infinite: Love and peace they taste for ever, And all truth and knowledge see In the beatific vision Of the blessèd Trinity. Amen. Topics: All Saints; All Saints; Burial of the Dead; Church At Rest; Other Feasts and Fasts; Processionals General Used With Tune: SANCTUARY
