Drink the wine of resurrection, not a servant, but a friend. Jesus is our strong companion. Joy and peace shall never end. 3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven nevermore shall be the same. Break the bread of new creation where the world is still in pain. Tell its grim demonic chorus: “Christ is risen! Get you gone!” God the First and Last is with us. Sing hosanna, everyone!

His glories now we sing, who died and rose on high, who died eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. 3 Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a sceptre sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end; and round his piercèd feet fair flowers of Paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. 4 Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, rich wounds yet visible above, in beauty glorified. All hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me: thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity. Used With Tune: DIADEMATA
