And with this joyful cry-- worship begins and ends:

Christ has died!
Christ is risen!
Christ will come again!

Our liturgies sum up the hope we-- have in Him: [Refrain]

We take the bread and wine--take Him, the-- Crucified: [Refrain]
4 By this we are upheld when doubt or grief assails
Our Christian faith and love, and only-- grace avails: [Refrain]
5 This is the threefold truth which, if we hold it fast,
Changes the world and us and brings us-- home at last: [Refrain] Scripture: 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 Languages: English Tune Title: ACCLAMATIONS
