Jesus Christ Is Risen Today!




Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once, upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss, Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save, Alleluia!

But the pains which He endured, Alleluia!
Our salvation hath procured, Alleluia!
Now above the sky He’s king, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing, Alleluia!

Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!
Praise eternal as His love, Alleluia!
Praise Him, all you heavenly host, Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia!

Every Promise...

Every promise of our God
Finds its ‘yes’ in His own Son.
Blessings to His people come
In abundance through the One.

In Christ God’s glory is revealed.
His grace, His faithfulness is shown.
And so we live in certain hope,
The God of truth our fortress strong.

As foretold the servant came
Sacrificed to rid our shame.
Promised Saviour, Lamb of God,
Full atonement by His blood.

In Christ God’s glory is revealed.
His grace, His faithfulness is shown.
And so we live in certain hope,
The God of truth our fortress strong.

By God’s Word the Christ did come,
Great King David’s greatest Son.
Lion of Judah, King of Kings,
He whose rule will never end.

In Christ God’s glory is revealed.
His grace, His faithfulness is shown.
And so we live in certain hope,
The God of truth our fortress strong.

A Hymn That Comforts

What a Friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry,
ev'rything to God in Prayer.
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry,
ev'rything to God in Prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful,
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge,
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
take it to the Lord in prayer;
in his arms He'll take and shield thee,
thou wilt find a solace there.

How deep the Father's love for us

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He would give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross
My guilt upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no powr's, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
