Call to Worship Luke 24:1-7

Leader:    But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.  And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.  While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.  And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.  He is risen!

People:   He is Risen indeed! Hallelujah!

Songs of Praise

See What A Morning

Words and music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townsend

See, what a morn-ing, glo-riously bright

with the dawning of hope in Je-ru-sa-lem

Fold-ed the grave clothes,

tomb filled with light as the an-gels an-nounce

Christ is ris-en!

See God's sal-va-tion plan,

wrought in love, borne in pain,

paid in sac-ri-fice,

Ful-filled in Christ, the Man,

for He lives: Christ is ris-en from the dead

See Ma-ry weep-ing, "Where is he Laid"?

As in sor-row she turns from the emp-ty tomb;

Hears a voice speak-ing, call-ing her name;

It's the Mas-ter, the Lord raised to life a-gain!

The voice that spans the years, Speak-ing life,

Stir-ring hope, bring-ing peace to us,

Will sound till he ap-pears,

For He lives, Christ is ris-en from the dead!

One with the Fa-ther, An-cient of Days,

Through the Spir-it who clothes faith with cer-tain-ty

Hon-or and bless-ing, glo-ry and praise

To the King crowned with pow’r and au-thor-ity!

And we are raised with Him, Death is dead,

life has won, Christ has con-quered;

And we shall reign with Him

For He lives, Christ is ris-en from the dead!

Up From The Grave He Arose

Words and Music by Robert Lowry

Low in the grave he lay—

Jesus, my Saviour,

Waiting the coming day—

Jesus, my Lord.

(chorus)

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!

Vainly they watch his bed—

Jesus, my Saviour;

Vainly they seal the dead—

Jesus, my Lord.

(chorus)

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!

Death cannot keep his prey—

Jesus, my Saviour;

He tore the bars away—

Jesus, my Lord.

(chorus)

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!

Hymns of Praise

Worship Christ the Risen King

Words by Jack Hayford, 1986; Music by Henry Smart, 1867

Rise O Church and lift your voices

Christ has conquered death and hell

Sing as all the earth rejoices

Resurrection anthems swell

Come and worship come and worship

Worship Christ the Risen King

See the tomb where death had laid Him

Empty now its mouth declares

Death and I could not contain Him

For the throne of life He shares

Come and worship come and worship

Worship Christ the Risen King

Hear the earth protest and tremble

See the stone removed with pow'r

All hell's minions may assemble

But cannot withstand His hour

He has conquered He has conquered

Christ the Lord the Risen King

Doubt may lift its head to murmur

Scoffers mock and sinners jeer

But the truth proclaims a wonder

Thoughtful hearts receive with cheer

He is risen He is risen

Now receive the Risen King

We acclaim Your life O Jesus

Now we sing Your victory

Sin or hell may seek to seize us

But Your conquest keeps us free

Stand in triumph stand in triumph

Worship Christ the Risen King

In Christ Alone

Words and Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend, 2001

In Christ alone my hope is found;

He is my light, my strength, my song;

This cornerstone, this solid ground,

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace,

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!

My comforter, my all in all—

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,

Fullness of God in helpless babe!

This gift of love and righteousness,

Scorned by the ones He came to save.

Till on that cross as Jesus died,

The wrath of God was satisfied;

For ev'ry sin on Him was laid—

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,

Light of the world by darkness slain;

Then bursting forth in glorious day,

Up from the grave He rose again!

And as He stands in victory,

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me;

For I am His and He is mine—

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the pow'r of Christ in me.

From life’s first cry, to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

No pow'r of hell no scheme of man,

Can ever pluck me from His hand.

'Til He returns or calls me home

Here in the pow'r of Christ I stand.

I Will Rise

By Chris Tomlin

There's a peace I've come to know

though my heart and flesh may fail

There's an anchor for my soul

I can say, It is well

Jesus, has overcome

and the grave is overwhelmed

The victory is won

He is risen from the dead

(chorus)

And I will rise when He calls my name

No more sorrow ,No more pain

I will rise, on Eagle's wings

Before my God fall on my knees, and rise

I will rise

There's a day that's drawing near

when the darkness breaks to light

and the shadow's disappear

and my faith shall be my eye's

Jesus, has overcome

and the grave is overwhelmed

The victory is won

He is risen from the dead (chorus)

(Bridge)

And I hear the voice of many angels sing,

Worthy is the Lamb!

And I hear the cry of every longing heart,

Worthy is the Lamb!

(Repeat)

(chorus)

Giving of God’s Tithes and Our Offerings

Hymn of Preparation

The Strife is O'er

Text: Anonymous, 12th Century Latin

Music: Giovanni P. da Palestrina, 1591

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

The strife is o'er, the battle done;

the victory of life is won;

the song of triumph has begun:

Alleluia!

The powers of death have done their worst,

but Christ their legions hath dispersed;

let shouts of holy joy outburst:

Alleluia!

The three sad days are quickly sped;

He rises glorious from the dead;

all glory to our risen Head!

Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

He closed the yawning gates of hell,

The bars from heaven’s high portals fell;

Let hymns of praise His truimphs tell!

Alleluia!

Lord, by the stripes which wounded thee,

from death's dread sting thy servants free,

that we may live, and sing to thee:

Alleluia!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Sermon Pastor Leonard Bailey

Luke 24:13-35 Page 885

Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

Words: Latin Carol; Music: Lyra Davidica

Christ, the Lord, is risen today, Alleluia!

Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!

Raise your voice and triumphs high, Alleluia!

Sing, ye heavens, and earth, reply, Alleluia!

Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!

Christ has burst the gates of hell, Alleluia!

Death in vain forbids His rise, Alleluia!

Christ has opened Paradise, Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!

Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!

Once He died, our souls to save, Alleluia!

Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!

Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!

Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!

Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!
