Hymn: “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” Words: Charles Wesley, 1739, Music: EASTER HYMN by unknown composer, 1708
Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing ye heav’ns, and earth reply, Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious king, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Dying once He all doth save, Alleluia!
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!
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!

I serve a risen Savior; He’s in the world today.
I know that He is living, Whatever men may say.
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer;
And just the time I need Him, He’s always near.
Refrain
He lives, He lives! Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me
Along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, Salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart!
In all the world around me, I see His loving care;
And though my heart grows weary, I never will despair.
I know that He is leading Through all the stormy blast;
The day of His appearing Will come at last. Refrain
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian! Lift up your voice and sing
Eternal hallelujahs To Jesus Christ, the King!
The Hope of all who seek Him, The Help of all who find,
None other is so loving, So good and kind. Refrain
Benediction
