Easter Day – Christ Is Risen!

What is the outcome of Jesus’ death? An empty grave – victory, resurrection and Easter joy. With God, suffering is never the final outcome! Easter is the assurance that suffering will not have the last word in our lives either. Jesus Christ is alive and victorious! All power is His in heaven and on earth. Jesus has overcome Satan and sin.
We honour Jesus with our response of faith, so join in the triumphant song of praise for His mighty victory at Easter:
 
Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!
 
Hyms of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ our heavenly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

(Latin, 14th Century)
