Easter Hymns

by VARIOUS ( - )

Lockwood, Brooks & Co. Have nearly ready the volume of “Easter Hymns” selected by Miss J.E.C. Chapman, an accomplished lady of Boston, and introduced by a note from her uncle, Rev. Dr. J.I.T. Coolidge. The hymns are excellently chosen, and the volume will be brought out in tasteful style. It will commend itself to the favor of all Episcopalians, and to the devout in all denominations, to whom Easter is not a mere churchly date but a day of deep and glad significance. – The Publisher’s Weekly, March 18th, 1876.

Alleluja, for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth , Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee , Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name , Christ, being raised from the dead, dieth no more , Christ must needs have suffered, and risen again from the dead , Death is swallowed up in victory , Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up , He appeared first to Mary Magdalene , He is not here, but is risen , He is risen from the dead , I am he that liveth and was dead , I know that my Redeemer liveth , I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice and your joy no man taketh from you , If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink , In my Father's house are many mansions , It is Christ that died, yea, rather, that is risen again , Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory , Jesus met them, saying, All hail , Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord , Let the people praise thee, O God, let all the people praise thee , Lo, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters , Lo, I am with you alway , O clap your hands, all ye people, shout unto God with the voice of triumph , O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? , Our Saviour, Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Gospel , Peace be unto you , The first-begotten of the dead , The flowers appear on the earth, the time of the singing of birds has come , The fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth , Them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him , They found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre , This is the day which the Lord hath made. We will rejoice and be glad in it , Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power , Through death he might destroy him that had the power of death , To him be glory both now and forever , To the only wise God, our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen , Very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun , Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning , When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory , Why seek ye the living among the dead? , Why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? , Your joy no man taketh from you
