PERSONENT HODIE (c. 1360) / arr. Andrew Carter (b. 1939)

Joy is come! Eastertide! Sing we all far and wide, see the stone rolled aside, Christ our Lord is risen, bursting from his prison. Let the sound ring around, and the song now rebound Christ the Lord is risen! Joy is come! Easter Day! Join the dance, homage pay, Christ the Lord lights our way, from the tomb now breaking, Satans power shaking. Let the song echo long, shout it loud, sing it strong Christ the Lord is risen! Easter joy may we bring, welcome Lord, heavens King Winter turns into spring, darkness overtaking and our spirits waking. Praises flow, voices grow, sounding far Gloria in excelsis Deo!

DIADEMATA

Leah Grundset No. 234

Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne. Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns all music but its own. Awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee, and hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity. Crown him the Lord of life, who triumphed oer the grave, and rose victorious in the strife for those he came to save; His glories now we sing who died, and rose on high, who died, eternal life to bring, and lives that death may die. Crown him the Lord of peace, whose power a scepter sways from pole to pole, that wars may cease, and all be prayer and praise. His reign shall know no end, and round his pierced feet fair flowers of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet. Crown him the Lord of love; behold his hands and side, those wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified. All hail, Redeemer, hail! For thou hast died for me; thy praise and glory shall not fail throughout eternity.
During the Hymn of Invitation, we invite you to come forward if you would like to make a public commitment to Christ or wish to join our family of faith.

Welcoming New Members We give thanks that you have been guided by the hand of God to this community of faith. We pledge to love each other and to work to grow into the fullness of Christ together. Amen. PASTORAL BENEDICTION CHORAL BENEDICTION The Lord Bless You and Keep You
