Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;

God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
only Thou art holy; there is none beside Thee,
perfect in power, in love, and purity.

All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in earth and sky and sea;

Christ Is Alive
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Celebrating Grace Hymnal #205 (2010) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Christian Year-Eastertide First Line: Christ is alive! Let Christians sing Lyrics: 1 Christ is alive! Let Christians sing.
The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring.
Love, drowned in death, shall never die.
2 Christ is alive! No longer bound
to distant years in Palestine,
but saving, healing, here and now
and touching every place and time.
3 In every insult, rift, and war,
where color, scorn, or wealth divide,
Christ suffers still, yet loves the more,
and lives, where even hope has died.
4 Women and men, in age and youth,
can feel the Spirit, hear the call,
and find the way, the life, the truth,
revealed in Jesus, freed for all.
5 Christ is alive, and comes to bring
good news to this and every age,
till earth and sky and ocean ring
with joy, with justice, love, and praise. Languages: English Tune Title: TRURO
