Choral Worship

"Alleluia! Alleluia!" Sanctuary Choir

arr. McDonald

Hearts to heaven and voices raise: Sing to God a hymn of gladness, sing to God a hymn of praise. He, who on the cross a Savior for the world's salvation bled,

Jesus Christ, the King of glory, now is risen from the dead.

Now the prison bars are broken, Christ from death to life is born, Glorious life, and life immortal, on this blessed Easter morn.

Christ has triumphed, and we conquer by His mighty enterprise; We with Him to life eternal by His resurrection rise.

Worship, honor, glory, blessing, Lord, we offer unto Thee; Young and old, Thy praise expressing, in glad homage bend the knee.

All the saints in heaven adore Thee. We would bow before Thy throne; As thine angels serve before Thee,

So on earth Thy will be done.

Amen

Offertory

Mrs. Lana Cornutt and Mrs. Sharon Reynolds

Spoken Benediction People of God, we are witnesses to these things:

That Christ died, hanging on a cross; That God raised Him from the dead on the third day;

That He is coming again in glory to reign.

This is the good news we tell to all the world:

Jesus Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia

Choral Benediction

"On the Third Day" Sanctuary Choir

Christ is risen from the dead. He is risen as He said. He is alive, Alleluia!

Christ has conquered death and sin, Died for us, our souls to win. He is alive, Alleluia!

He ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God, The Father Almighty.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead. His Kingdom will have no end.

On the third day, Christ arose!
