This is a day of new beginnings -- our God is making all things new. [Alternative text (v. 4) for Holy Communion:] In faith we'll gather round the table to show and share what love can do.

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna

Celebrate this day of days! Christ is risen! Hush in wonder; all creation is amazed. In the desert all surrounding, see, a spreading tree has grown. Healing leaves of grace abounding bring a taste of love unknown. 2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits from the caverns of despair. Walk with gladness in the morning. See what love can do and dare. 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!

Dix Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 215 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16:19 Lyrics: 1 Alleluia, sing to Jesus! his the scepter, his the throne: Alleluia! his the triumph, his the victory alone.

Jesus, out of every nation, has redeemed us by his blood. 2 Alleluia! not as orphans are we left in sorrow now; Alleluia! he is near us; faith believes, nor questions how. Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er, shall our hearts forget his promise, "I am with you evermore"? 3 Alleluia! heavenly High Priest, here on earth our help, our stay; Alleluia! hear the sinful cry to you from day to day. Intercessor, Friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, hear our plea, where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.
