Risen on Resurrection Sunday

No, the ants have not risen from the dead. That's the stuff my nightmares are made of. This is the stuff hope is built on.

Christ is risen!

He is risen indeed. Allelulia!

Matt 28:1-6
Leader: After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

People: There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.

Leader: His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

People: The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified."

All: He is not here; He is risen!" Alleluia!

Thine be the Glory (tune)
Thine be the glory, risen, conqu’ring 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 conqu’ring Son,
Endless is the vict’ry, Thou o’er death hast won.

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 conqu’ring Son,
Endless is the vict’ry, Thou o’er death hast won.

No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life;
Life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife;
Make us more than conqu’rors, through Thy deathless love:
Bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above.
Thine be the glory, risen conqu’ring Son,
Endless is the vict’ry, Thou o’er death hast won.
