Resplendent Resurrection

orchidee



Fits tune: Easter Hymn

('Jesus Christ is risen today')

******

'Alleluia'! is sung after every line

 

There we on a green hill fair - Alleluia!

We in Christ's passion did share

Walked along the road He trod

Followed Him, the Son of God

 

We recalled too of His suffering

Which our salvation did bring

Now we share in Easter sure

Christ does live for evermore

 

Pray for peace of [Jeru]Salem here

Many troubles world does fear

But Christ, Lord, He King of Kings

Let all that has breath, Him sing

 

Burst the gates, the gates of hell

Deaths' victory gone, we do tell

Christ has dealt with death's sharp sting

Sins forgiven, let praises ring

 

Shine, arise, the dayspring dawns

Downcast souls no longer mourn

For the light of life is risen

Opened tomb of death's dark prison

 

Pray for peace in every nation

Joy and hope and true elation

Darkness scattered, love unfeigned

Scars still shown where he was pained

 

Visitors to garden tomb

Found Him there not, empty room

He the perfect work has done

Resurrected, Holy Son - Alleluia!

      Thanks G/F - 'and also with you' as the words of the service say.
