    Jesus has died and has risen:
  1. We have been crucified with Christ;
    now we shall live for ever:
  1. God has proclaimed the just reward:
    new life for all!  Alleluia!

StF 136

  1. Morning has broken
    like the first morning;
    blackbird has spoken
    like the first bird.
    Praise for the singing!
    Praise for the morning!
    Praise for them, springing
    fresh from the Word!
  1. Sweet the rain’s new fall
    sunlit from heaven,
    like the first dewfall
    on the first grass.
    Praise for the sweetness
    of the wet garden,
    sprung in completeness
    where his feet pass.
  1. Mine is the sunlight!
    Mine is the morning
    born of the one light
    Eden saw play!
    Praise with elation,
    praise every morning,
    God’s re-creation
    of the new day!

StF 303

  1. I know that my Redeemer lives —
    what joy the blest assurance gives!
    He lives, he lives, who once was dead;
    he lives, my everlasting Head!
  1. He lives, to bless me with his love;
    he lives, to plead for me above;
    he lives, my hungry soul to feed;
    he lives, to help in time of need.
  1. He lives, and grants me daily breath;
    he lives, and I shall conquer death;
    he lives, my mansion to prepare;
    he lives, to lead me safely there.
  1. He lives, all glory to his name;
    he lives, my Saviour, still the same;
    what joy the blest assurance gives,
    I know that my Redeemer lives!

Samuel Medley (1738–1799)

StF 76

  1. Give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
    give me joy in my heart, I pray;
    give me joy in my heart, keep me praising,
    keep me praising till the break of day:

Sing hosanna! Sing hosanna!
Sing hosanna to the King of kings!
Sing hosanna! Sing hosanna!
Sing hosanna to the King!

  1. Give me peace in my heart, keep me loving,
    give me peace in my heart, I pray;
    give me peace in my heart, keep me loving,
    keep me loving till the break of day:
  1. Give me love in my heart, keep me serving,
    give me love in my heart, I pray;
    give me love in my heart, keep me serving,
    keep me serving till the break of day:

StF 487

You shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace,
and the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you.
There'll be shouts of joy and the trees of the field
shall clap, shall clap their hands,
and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
and the trees of the field shall clap their hands,
and you'll go out with joy.

       Alleluia!
    You to know, your power to prove,
       Alleluia!
    Thus to sing, and thus to love:
       Alleluia!

Charles Wesley (1707-1788)

StF 294

  1. All you that seek the Lord who died,
    your God for sinners crucified,
    now, now let all your grief be o'er!
    Believe, and you shall weep no more.
  1. The Lord of life is risen indeed,
    to death delivered in your stead;
    his rise proclaims your sins forgiven,
    and shows the living way to heaven.
  1. Haste then, you souls that first believe,
    who dare the gospel word receive,
    your faith with joyful hearts confess,
    be bold, be Jesus' witnesses.
  1. Go, tell the followers of your Lord
    their Jesus is to life restored;
    he lives to quicken humankind;
    he lives that all his life may find.

Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

StF 314

  1. This joyful Eastertide,
    what need is there for grieving?
    Cast all your cares aside
    and be not unbelieving:

Come, share our Easter joy
that death could not imprison,
nor any power destroy,
our Christ, who is arisen!

  1. No work for him is vain,
    no faith in him mistaken,
    for Easter makes it plain
    his kingdom is not shaken:
  1. Then put your trust in Christ,
    in waking and in sleeping.
    His grace on earth sufficed;
    he'll never quit his keeping:

StF 297

  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.
  1. Christ is alive! No longer bound
    to distant years in Palestine,
    but saving, healing, here and now,
    and touching every place and time.
  1. In every insult, rift and war
    where colour scorn or wealth divide,
    Christ suffers still yet loves the more,
    and lives where even hope has died.
  1. 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.
  1. 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.

StF 313

  1. Thine be the glory,
    risen, conquering Son,
    endless is the victory
    thou o’er death hast won;
    angels in bright raiment
    rolled the stone away,
    kept the folded grave-clothes
    where thy body lay:

Thine be the glory,
risen, conquering Son,
endless is the victory
thou o’er death hast won.

  1. Lo, Jesus meets us,
    risen from the tomb;
    lovingly he greets us,
    scatters fear and gloom;
    let the Church with gladness
    hymns of triumph sing,
    for her Lord now liveth,
    death hath lost its sting:
  1. No more we doubt thee,
    glorious Prince of Life;
    life is naught without thee:
    aid us in our strife;
    make us more than conquerors
    through thy deathless love;
    bring us safe through Jordan
    to thy home above:

StF 262

  1. All glory, laud, and honour
    to thee, Redeemer, King,
    to whom the lips of children
    made sweet hosannas ring!
    Thou art the King of Israel,
    thou David's royal Son,
    who in the Lord's name comest,
    the King and Blessèd One.
  1. The company of angels
    are praising thee on high,
    and mortal men and all things
    created make reply.
    The people of the Hebrews
    with palms before thee went;
    our praise and prayer and anthems
    before thee we present.
  1. To thee before thy Passion
    they sang their hymns of praise;
    to thee now high exalted
    our melody we raise.
    Thou didst accept their praises;
    accept the prayers we bring,
    who in all good delightest,
    thou good and gracious King.
  1. All glory, laud, and honour
    to thee, Redeemer, King,
    to whom the lips of children
    made sweet hosannas ring!

St Theodulph of Orleans (d. 821)
translated by
    John Mason Neale (1811–1866)

StF 264

  1. Make way, make way, for Christ the King
    in splendour arrives;
    fling wide the gates and welcome him
    into your lives.

Make way (Make way), make way (make way),
for the King of kings (for the King of kings);
make way (make way), make way (make way),
and let his Kingdom in.

  1. He comes the broken hearts to heal,
    the prisoners to free;
    the deaf shall hear, the lame shall dance,
    the blind shall see.
  1. And those who mourn with heavy hearts,
    who weep and sigh,
    with laughter, joy and royal crown
    he'll beautify.
  1. We call you now to worship him
    as Lord of all,
    to have no gods before him,
    their thrones must fall!

StF 504

  1. May the mind of Christ my Saviour
    live in me from day to day,
    by his love and power controlling
    all I do or say.
  1. May the word of God dwell richly
    in my heart from hour to hour,
    so that all may see I triumph
    only through his power.
  1. May the peace of God my Father
    rule my life in everything,
    that I may be calm to comfort
    sick and sorrowing.
  1. May the love of Jesus fill me,
    as the waters fill the sea;
    him exalting, self forgetting —
    this is victory.
  1. May I run the race before me,
    strong and brave to face the foe,
    looking only unto Jesus
    as I onward go.

Katie Barclay Wilkinson (1859–1928)

StF 265

  1. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
    Hark, all the tribes ‘Hosanna!’ cry;
    your humble beast pursues its road
    with palms and scattered garments strowed.
  1. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
    In lowly pomp ride on to die:
    O Christ, your triumphs now begin
    o'er captive death and conquered sin.
  1. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
    The wingèd squadrons of the sky
    look down with sad and wondering eyes
    to see the approaching sacrifice.
  1. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
    Your last and fiercest strife is nigh;
    the Father, on his sapphire throne,
    expects his own anointed Son.
  1. Ride on, ride on in majesty!
    In lowly pomp ride on to die;
    bow your meek head to mortal pain,
    then take, O God, your power, and reign.

Henry Hart Milman (1791–1868)
