He Is Risen (Music Video) | The Tabernacle Choir

1. 1. He is risen! He is risen!

   Tell it out with joyful voice.

   He has burst his three days’ prison;

   Let the whole wide earth rejoice.

   Death is conquered; man is free.

   Christ has won the victory.

2. 2. Come with high and holy hymning;

   Chant our Lord’s triumphant lay.

   Not one darksome cloud is dimming

   Yonder glorious morning ray,

   Breaking o’er the purple east,

   Symbol of our Easter feast.

3. 3. He is risen! He is risen!

   He hath opened heaven’s gate.

   We are free from sin’s dark prison,

   Risen to a holier state.

   And a brighter Easter beam

   On our longing eyes shall stream.

Abide with Me - Alexandria Sharpe and The Tabernacle Choir

Lyrics

1. 1. Abide with me! fast falls the eventide;

   The darkness deepens. Lord, with me abide!

   When other helpers fail and comforts flee,

   Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me!

2. 2. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day.

   Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away.

   Change and decay in all around I see;

   O thou who changest not, abide with me!

3. 3. I need thy presence ev’ry passing hour.

   What but thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r?

   Who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be?

   Thru cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me!

Text: Henry F. Lyte, 1793–1847

Music: William H. Monk, 1823–1889

Lyrics:

God be with you till we meet again; By his counsels guide, uphold you; With his sheep securely fold you. God be with you till we meet again. Till we meet, till we meet, God be with you till we meet again. Till we meet, till we meet, Till we meet at Jesus’ feet, Till we meet, till we meet, God be with you till we meet again. God be with you till we meet again. Amen.

I Believe in Christ | The Tabernacle Choir

"I Believe in Christ"

Lyrics

1. 1. I believe in Christ; he is my King!

   With all my heart to him I’ll sing;

   I’ll raise my voice in praise and joy,

   In grand amens my tongue employ.

   I believe in Christ; he is God’s Son.

   On earth to dwell his soul did come.

   He healed the sick; the dead he raised.

   Good works were his; his name be praised.

2. 2. I believe in Christ; oh blessed name!

   As Mary’s Son he came to reign

   ’Mid mortal men, his earthly kin,

   To save them from the woes of sin.

   I believe in Christ, who marked the path,

   Who did gain all his Father hath,

   Who said to men: “Come, follow me,

   That ye, my friends, with God may be.”

3. 3. I believe in Christ—my Lord, my God!

   My feet he plants on gospel sod.

   I’ll worship him with all my might;

   He is the source of truth and light.

   I believe in Christ; he ransoms me.

   From Satan’s grasp he sets me free,

   And I shall live with joy and love

   In his eternal courts above.

4. 4. I believe in Christ; he stands supreme!

   From him I’ll gain my fondest dream;

   And while I strive through grief and pain,

   His voice is heard: “Ye shall obtain.”

   I believe in Christ; so come what may,

   With him I’ll stand in that great day

   When on this earth he comes again

   To rule among the sons of men.

More Holiness Give Me | The Tabernacle Choir

Lyrics

1. 1. More holiness give me,

   More strivings within,

   More patience in suff’ring,

   More sorrow for sin,

   More faith in my Savior,

   More sense of his care,

   More joy in his service,

   More purpose in prayer.

2. 2. More gratitude give me,

   More trust in the Lord,

   More pride in his glory,

   More hope in his word,

   More tears for his sorrows,

   More pain at his grief,

   More meekness in trial,

   More praise for relief.

3. 3. More purity give me,

   More strength to o’ercome,

   More freedom from earth-stains,

   More longing for home.

   More fit for the kingdom,

   More used would I be,

   More blessed and holy—

   More, Savior, like thee.

Where Can I Turn for Peace? (arr. Mack Wilberg) - The Tabernacle Choir

Lyrics

1. 1. Where can I turn for peace?

   Where is my solace

   When other sources cease to make me whole?

   When with a wounded heart, anger, or malice,

   I draw myself apart,

   Searching my soul?

2. 2. Where, when my aching grows,

   Where, when I languish,

   Where, in my need to know, where can I run?

   Where is the quiet hand to calm my anguish?

   Who, who can understand?

   He, only One.

3. 3. He answers privately,

   Reaches my reaching

   In my Gethsemane, Savior and Friend.

   Gentle the peace he finds for my beseeching.

   Constant he is and kind,

   Love without end.

The Morning Breaks - The Tabernacle Choir

Lyrics:

The morning breaks, the shadows flee; Lo, Zion’s standard is unfurled! The dawning of a brighter day, The dawning of a brighter day Majestic rises on the world. The clouds of error disappear Before the rays of truth divine; The glory bursting from afar, The glory bursting from afar Wide o’er the nations soon will shine. Jehovah speaks! Let earth give ear, And Gentile nations turn and live. His mighty arm is making bare, His mighty arm is making bare His cov’nant people to receive. Angels from heav’n and truth from earth Have met and both have record borne; Thus Zion’s light is bursting forth, Thus Zion’s light is bursting forth To bring her ransom'd children home. To bring her ransom'd children home. Amen

Nearer, My God, to Thee - The Tabernacle Choir

1. 1. Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer to thee!

   E’en though it be a cross

   That raiseth me.

   Still all my song shall be

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer to thee!

2. 2. Though like the wanderer,

   The sun gone down,

   Darkness be over me,

   My rest a stone,

   Yet in my dreams I’d be

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer to thee!

3. 3. There let the way appear,

   Steps unto heav’n;

   All that thou sendest me,

   In mercy giv’n;

   Angels to beckon me

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer to thee!

4. 4. Then with my waking thoughts

   Bright with thy praise,

   Out of my stony griefs

   Bethel I’ll raise;

   So by my woes to be

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer to thee!

5. 5. Or if, on joyful wing

   Cleaving the sky,

   Sun, moon, and stars forgot,

   Upward I fly,

   Still all my song shall be

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer, my God, to thee,

   Nearer to thee!

Come, Ye Thankful People, Come | The Tabernacle Choir

Lyrics

1. 1. Come, ye thankful people, come;

   Raise the song of harvest home.

   All is safely gathered in

   Ere the winter storms begin.

   God, our Maker, doth provide

   For our wants to be supplied.

   Come to God’s own temple, come;

   Raise the song of harvest home.

2. 2. All the world is God’s own field,

   Fruit unto his praise to yield,

   Wheat and tares together sown,

   Unto joy or sorrow grown.

   First the blade, and then the ear,

   Then the full corn shall appear.

   Lord of harvest, grant that we

   Wholesome grain and pure may be.

Text: Henry Alford, 1810–1871

Prayer of Thanksgiving | The Tabernacle Choir

1. 1. We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;

   He chastens, and hastens his will to make known;

   The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.

   Sing praises to his name;

   He forgets not his own.

2. 2. Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,

   Ordaining, maintaining his kingdom divine;

   So from the beginning the fight we were winning;

   Thou, Lord, wast at our side;

   All glory be thine!

3. 3. We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant,

   And pray that thou still our defender wilt be.

   Let thy congregation escape tribulation;

   Thy name be ever praised!

   O Lord, make us free!

   For the beauty of the skies,

   For the love which from our birth

   Over and around us lies,

2. [Chorus]

   Lord of all, to thee we raise

   This our hymn of grateful praise.

3. 2. For the beauty of each hour

   Of the day and of the night,

   Hill and vale, and tree and flow’r,

   Sun and moon, and stars of light,

4. 3. For the joy of human love,

   Brother, sister, parent, child,

   Friends on earth, and friends above,

   For all gentle thoughts and mild,

The Spirit of God | The Tabernacle Choir

1. 1. The Spirit of God like a fire is burning!

   The latter-day glory begins to come forth;

   The visions and blessings of old are returning,

   And angels are coming to visit the earth.

2. [Chorus]

   We’ll sing and we’ll shout with the armies of heaven,

   Hosanna, hosanna to God and the Lamb!

   Let glory to them in the highest be given,

   Henceforth and forever, Amen and amen!

3. 2. The Lord is extending the Saints’ understanding,

   Restoring their judges and all as at first.

   The knowledge and power of God are expanding;

   The veil o’er the earth is beginning to burst.

4. 3. We’ll call in our solemn assemblies in spirit,

   To spread forth the kingdom of heaven abroad,

   That we through our faith may begin to inherit

   The visions and blessings and glories of God.

5. 4. How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion

   Shall lie down together without any ire,

   And Ephraim be crowned with his blessing in Zion,

   As Jesus descends with his chariot of fire!

Text: William W. Phelps, 1792–1872. Sung at the Kirtland Temple dedication in 1836.
