I am so excited to introduce Stephanie from The Enchanting Rose as our guest on the blog today! She is a new friend that I met in the blogging world, but we have so many things in common that I was instantly drawn to her. Many of the things you will see on her blog are fun crafts, tasty recipes, and her love for tea cups! Above all, her genuine love for Christ shines through her beautiful blog. One of the aspects of her blog that I love is the way she shares old hymns with her beautiful photography…and today she shares that with us! I know you will enjoy her lovely post!
A cheery and blessed day to you, lovely readers of Everyday Living!
I am Stephanie and I am the writer, creator, and baker over at
It is my joy and pleasure to be with you and I would like to express my gratitude to Pam
for allowing me to share my love for old hymns on her beautiful site.
When Pam contacted me about writing a guest post for her readers
I was quite honored and delighted!
Pam is a lovely, gracious woman and her posts reflect not only
her creativity and wisdom, but also her deep love for our precious Savior.
With Easter upon us, Pam and I thought an Easter hymn would be perfect for today.
Old hymns are a love of mine and I share them every Sunday on my blog.
There is so much wisdom, history,
and depth in the words penned so many years ago.
I hope you enjoy today’s post of praise, worship, and rejoicing. . .

Jesus is not the “Great I WAS”
but rather the “Great I AM!”
All of Christianity rests upon the truth that Jesus rose from the grave victorious
and is now seated at the Father’s right hand as our personal Advocate.
“Fear not; I am the first and the last:
I am he that liveth, and was dead;
and behold, I am alive forevermore,
Amen.”
Revelation 1:17b, 18 {KJV}
Written by
Robert Lowry, 1826 – 1899
Low in the grave He lay – Jesus, my Savior!
Waiting the coming day – Jesus, my Lord!
Vainly they watch His bed – Jesus, my Savior!
Vainly they seal the dead – Jesus, my Lord!
Death cannot keep his prey – Jesus, my Savior!
He tore the bars away – Jesus, my Lord!
Chorus
Up from the grace e arose,
with a mighty triumph o’er His foes;
He arose a Victor from the dark domain,
and He lives forever with His saints to reign,
He arose! He arose!
Hallelujah!
Christ arose!
Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”
Matthew 28:6
“Now if we be dead with Christ,
we believe that we shall also live with him:
Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him.”
Romans 6: 8 – 9
Look, Ye Saints! the Sight is Glorious
Written by
Thomas Kelly, 1769 – 1854
Look, ye saints! the sight is glorious:
See the Man of Sorrows now;
From the fight returned victorious,
Every knee to Him shall bow:
Crown Him! crown Him!
Crowns become the Victor’s brow.
Crown the Savior! angels crown Him!
Rich the trophies Jesus brings;
In the seat of power enthrone Him,
While the vault of heaven rings:
Crown Him! crown Him!
Crown the Savior King of kings.
Sinners in derision crowned Him,
Mocking thus the Savior’s claim;
Saints and angels crowd around Him,
Own His title, praise His name:
Crown Him! crown Him!
Spread abroad the Victor’s fame!
Hark! those bursts of acclamation!
Hark! those loud triumphant chords!
Hark! those loud triumphant chords!
Jesus takes the highest station-
O what joy the sight affords!
Crown Him! crown Him!
King of kings and Lord of lords!
allow the precious truth of Jesus Christ’s resurrection to thrill your life anew.
Sing with great triumph, “Christ arose!”
We serve a living Savior-
He is the King of kings and Lord of lords!
God sent His Son – they called Him Jesus:
He came to love, heal, and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
an empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow;
because He lives all fear is gone;
because I know He holds the future,
and life is worth the living just because He lives.
– Bill Gaither –
Now let the heavens be joyful, let the earth her song begin,
let the round world keep triumph and all that is therein;
let all things seen and unseen their notes in gladness blend,
for Christ the Lord hath risen, our joy that hath no end!
– From the early eighth century by John of Damascus –
Celebrate and rejoice this Easter season!
Allow your soul to vibrate with joy and “Alleluias”
for all that the risen Savior means to you!
A big heartfelt thanks to Pam
for allowing me to share my love and passion for hymns of worship.
And many thanks to you, dear readers, for joining me today-
I hope your heart was blessed and refreshed.
We have much to praise the Lord for!
Please feel free to come by The Enchanting Rose for a visit.
I always love making new friends 🙂
Love, hugs, and blessings,
