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

Declaring What We Believe:

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate;

Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

The holy universal church; The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Red Hymnal #289                                “Christ the Lord Is Risen Today”

Red Hymnal #298                                                              “Christ Arose”

Come, People of the Risen King
1. Come, people of the risen King, who delight to bring Him praise.
Come all, and tune your hearts to sing to the Morning Star of grace.

From the shifting shadows of the earth we will lift our eyes to Him,

Where steady arms of mercy reach to gather children in.

Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice! Let every tongue rejoice!

One heart, one voice: oh, Church of Christ, rejoice!
1. Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
and those weeping through the night.

Come, those who tell of battles won,

and those struggling in the fight.

For His perfect love will never change, and His mercies never cease,

But follow us through all our days with the certain hope of peace.

Repeat Refrain
1. Come, young and old from every land, men and women of the faith.
Come, those with full or empty hands; find the riches of His grace.

Over all the world His people sing; shore to shore we hear them call

The Truth that cries through every age: “Our God is all in all.”

Repeat Refrain Twice

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
