Easter Extempore

Tune: Lux Eoi

(\'Alleluia, Alleluia! Hearts to heaven and voices raise\')

*******

Alleluia! God of heaven

You to us your Son have given

We recall again, Easter-tide

On the cross He suffered, died

But that not the end, for He sure

On third day rose evermore

Thus to live, ne\'er to die again

And be Saviour of all men (mankind)

 

Can we believe, can we trust this?

It shall bring us lasting bliss

And to share, to evangelise

That Christ open inward eyes

Eyes of hearts, give understanding

Knowledge, light, and faith us bring

Simply trusting, loving, showing

Others Christ is Lord and King

 

Awesome earthquake, resurrection

Women at tomb did find then

Angel sitting in the tomb there

And glad tidings he did bear

For he said, Christ, He is not here

Go to Galilee, not fear

For there you shall see Him risen

Hope, joy, peace unto all men (mankind)

 

For the sting of death He removed

Victor over it He proved

Bore our sins and our transgressions

We become His daughters, sons

Freed, forgiven, if repentant

Jesus He from God was sent

Alleluia! God of heaven

You to us your Son have sent
