Growing up in a Christian Church, I’ve sung a lot of hymns. As mentioned in Psalms and Hymns and Spiritual Songs, music, especially hymns, is very important to me. For time’s sake, we would usually sing three of the verses (or sometimes just the first verse) even if there were four or five. While trying to find full versions of these hymns for you to be directed to by clicking the titles, I had some difficulty as, even online, these verses aren’t included. Here are some of these “missing verses” that speak important biblical truths.

“Christ the Lord is Risen Today” v3-4 – Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia. Fought the fight, the battle won; Alleluia. Death in vain forbids Him rise; Alleluia. Christ has opened Paradise. Alleluia. Soar we now, where Christ has led, Alleluia. Following our exalted Head; Alleluia. Made like Him, like Him we rise; Alleluia. Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia.

“He Hideth my Soul” v3-4 – With numberless blessings each moment He crowns, And filled with His fullness divine, I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God for such a Redeemer as mine! When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise to meet Him in clouds of the sky, His perfect salvation, His wonderful love, I’ll shout with the millions on high. – He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, that shadows a dry, thirsty land; He hideth my life in the depths of His love, and covers me there with His hand.

“Thou Didst Leave Thy Throne” v3-4 – The foxes found rest, and the birds their nest in the shade of the forest tree; But thy couch was the sod, O thou Son of God, in the deserts of Galilee. Thou camest, O Lord, with the living word that should set thy people free; but with mocking scorn and with crown of thorn, they bore thee to Calvary. O come to my heart Lord Jesus, there is room in my heart for thee.

Keep an eye and an ear out as additional volumes should show up again in the future as I can find them.
