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.

Abide with us , 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 , Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed , 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 , He is risen, he is not here , He rose again the third day , He will swallow up death in victory , I am he that liveth and was dead , I am the Resurrection and the Life , I know that my Redeemer liveth , I know that ye seek Jesus which was crucified. He is not here, for He is risen , 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 , If ye, then, be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above , In Christ shall all be made alive , 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 , King of kings, and Lord of lords , Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord , Let the people praise thee, O God, let all the people praise thee , Let us keep the feast, not with old leaven , Lo, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters , Lo, I am with you alway , Now is Christ risen from the Dead, and become the first-fruits of them that slept , 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 , Salvation to our God, which sitteth upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb , Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath triumphed gloriously , The day of Jesus Christ , 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 , The Lord hath done great things for us, whereof we are glad , The Lord is risen indeed , 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 , Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive , Thou wilt not leave my sould in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption , 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 , Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord , Why seek ye the living among the dead? , Why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? , Your joy no man taketh from you
