Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia
Let creation join to say, Alleluia
Raise your joys and triumph high Alleluia
Sing ye heavens, thou earth reply Alleluia
Our Easter Day service today is led by Judith Haughton
All are welcome to join us after the service for refreshments.
Lo, Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb,
Lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom
Let the Church with gladness hymns of triumph sing
For her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting.
No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of Life,
Life is naught without thee; aid us in our strife
Make us more than conquerors through thy deathless love
Bring us safe through Jordan to thy home above.
