Call to Worship
Minister: The Lord is risen!
People: He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Hymn 410
1. Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
who did once upon the Cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!
2. Hymns of praise then let us sing
Unto Christ, our heavenly King,
Who endured the cross and grave,
sinners to redeem and save.
3. But the anguish he endured
our salvation has procured:
now in heaven Christ is King,
where the angels ever sing.
4. Sing we to our God above
praise eternal as his love;
praise him, all ye heavenly host,
Father, Son and the Holy Ghost.
Prayer
Reading: Luke 24: 1-12
Address
Hymn 411
‘Christ the Lord is risen today’,
all on earth and angels say;
raise your joys and triumphs high;
sing, ye heavens, and earth reply.
Love’s redeeming work is done,
fought the fight, the battle won;
lo! our Sun’s eclipse is o’er;
lo! he sets in blood no more.
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
Christ has burst the gates of hell:
death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened Paradise.
Lives again our glorious King;
where, O Death, is now thy sting?
Once he died, our souls to save;
where thy victory, O grave?
Soar we now where Christ has led,
following our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise;
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
Hail, the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to thee by both be given;
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection thou!
Prayer of Intercession & Lord’s Prayer
Hymn 419
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.
Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son,
endless is the victory thou o’er death hast won.
2 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: [Refrain]
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: [Refrain]
