The Resurrection

¹ Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

² So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”

³ So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb.

⁴ Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.

⁵ And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

⁶ Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there,

⁷ and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.

⁸ Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;

⁹ for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

¹⁰ Then the disciples went back to their homes.

Prayer of Invocation

Gathering the Family Together

Alleluia! Alleluia! Hearts to Heaven

Alleluia, alleluia! Hearts to Heaven and voices raise:

Sing to God a hymn of gladness, Sing to God a hymn of praise.

He, who on the cross a victim, For the world’s salvation bled,

Jesus Christ, the King of glory, Now is risen from the dead.

Alleluia, Christ is risen! Death at last has met defeat

See the ancient powers of evil in confusion and retreat.

Once he died and once was buried; Now he lives forever more—

Jesus Christ, the world’s Redeemer, whom we worship and adore.

Christ is risen, Christ the first fruits of the holy harvest yield,

Which will all it full abundance at his second coming yield.

Then the golden ears of harvest will their heads before him wave,

Ripened by his glorious sunshine from the furrows of the grave.

Alleluia, alleluia! Glory be to God on high;

Alleluia! to the Savior Who has won the victory;

Alleluia! to the Spirit, Fount of love and sanctity:

Alleluia, alleluia! To the triune Majesty.

All:

We praise Thee, O God:

We acknowledge Thee to be the Lord.

All the earth doth worship Thee, the Father everlasting.

Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of Thy glory.

The glorious company of the apostles praise Thee.

The goodly fellowship of the prophets praise Thee.

All:

Thou art the King of glory, O Christ.

Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.

Solo 2:

When Thou tookest upon Thee to deliver man,

Thou didst humble Thyself to be born of a virgin.

When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death,

Thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father.

All:

We believe that Thou shalt come to be our Judge.

We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants,

Whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.

Make them to be numbered with Thy saints in glory everlasting.

Let me never be confounded.

Amen

Red Hymnal #298

Christ Arose
1. Low in the grave He lay, Jesus, my Savior!
Waiting the coming day, Jesus, my Lord!

Chorus: Up from the grave He arose

With a mighty triumph over 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!
1. Vainly they watched His bed, Jesus, my Savior!
Vainly they sealed the dead, Jesus, my Lord! Repeat Chorus
1. Death could not keep his prey, Jesus, my Savior!
He tore the bars away, Jesus, my Lord! Repeat Chorus

Robert Lowry

See, What a Morning
1. See, what a morning, gloriously bright,
with the dawning of hope in Jerusalem;

Folded the grave-clothes, tomb filled with light,

as the angels announce “Christ is risen!”

See God’s salvation plan,

wrought in love, borne in pain, paid in sacrifice,

Fulfilled in Christ, the Man, for He lives:

Christ is risen from the dead.
1. See Mary weeping, “Where is He laid?”
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb.

Hears a voice speaking, calling her name;

It’s the Master, the Lord, raised to life—again!

The voice that spans the years, speaking life,

Stirring hope, bringing peace to us,

Will sound ’til He appears, for He lives:

Christ is risen from the dead.
1. One with the Father, Ancient of Days,
through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty.

Honour and blessing, glory and praise

To the King crowned with power and authority.

And we are raised with Him; Death is dead,

Love has won, Christ has conquered.

And we shall reign with Him, for He lives:

Christ is risen from the dead

All heaven declares the glory of the risen Lord

Who can compare with the beauty of the Lord

Forever He will be the Lamb upon the throne

I gladly bow the knee and worship Him alone

I will proclaim the glory of the risen Lord

Who once was slain to reconcile man to God

Forever You will be the Lamb upon the throne

I gladly bow the knee and worship You alone
