Cross of Jesus, Cross of Sorrow

Cross of Jesus, cross of sorrow, Where the blood of Christ was shed,
Perfect man on thee was tortured, Perfect God on thee has bled.

Here the King of all the ages, Throned in light ere worlds could be,
Robed in mortal flesh is dying, Crucified by sin for me.

O mysterious condescending! O abandonment sublime!
Very God Himself is bearing All the sufferings of time.

Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

Christ the Lord is ris'n today! Alleluia!
All on earth with angels say; Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high; Alleluia!
Sing, ye heav'ns;and earth, reply. Alleluia!

Love's redreeming work is done Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won; Alleluia!
Lo! The sun's eclipse is o'er. Alleluia!
Lo! He sets in blood no more. Alleluia!

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal; Alleluia!
Christ has burst the gates of hell. Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids His rise; Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise. Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King! Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now Thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save; Alleluia!
Where Thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now, where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Foll'wing our exalted Head; Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise; Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia!
