Welcome and Call to Worship

Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.

Up from the Grave He Arose

1. Low in the grave He lay,
   Jesus, my Saviour;
   waiting the coming day,
   Jesus, my Lord.
   

   Up from the grave He arose,
   with a mighty triumph o’er His foes;
   He arose a victor from the dark domain,
   and He lives for ever with His saints to reign:
   He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
   

2. Vainly they watch His bed,
   Jesus, my Saviour;
   vainly they seal the dead,
   Jesus, my Lord.
   

   Up from the grave He arose,
   with a mighty triumph o’er His foes;
   He arose a victor from the dark domain,
   and He lives for ever with His saints to reign:
   He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
   

3. Death cannot keep his prey,
   Jesus, my Saviour,
   He tore the bars away,
   Jesus, my Lord.
   

   Up from the grave He arose,
   with a mighty triumph o’er His foes;
   He arose a victor from the dark domain,
   and He lives for ever with His saints to reign:
   He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!

Intimations

Thine Be the Glory

1. Thine be the glory,
   risen, conquering Son,
   endless is the victory
   Thou o’er death hast won;
   angels in bright raiment
   rolled the stone away,
   kept the folded grave-clothes
   where Thy body lay.
   

   Thine be the glory,
   risen, conquering Son,
   endless is the victory
   Thou o’er death hast won.
   

2. 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.
   

   Thine be the glory,
   risen, conquering Son,
   endless is the victory
   Thou o’er death hast won.
   

3. No more we doubt Thee,
   glorious Prince of life;
   life is nought 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.
   

   Thine be the glory,
   risen, conquering Son,
   endless is the victory
   Thou o’er death hast won.
