Easter Sunday

April 5, 2015

GLORIOUS DAY

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises, one day when sin was as black as could be Jesus came forth to be born of a Virgin, dwelt among men, my example is He Word became flesh and the light shined among us, His glory revealed

Living He loved me, dying He saved me, buried He carried my sins far away Rising He justified freely forever, one day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain, one day they nailed Him to die on a tree Suffering anguish, despised and rejected, bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree, and took the nails for me

Living He loved me, dying He saved me, buried He carried my sins far away Rising He justified freely forever, one day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer, one day the stone rolled away from the door Then He arose, over death He had conquered, now He's ascended, my Lord evermore Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him from rising again

Living He loved me, dying He saved me, buried He carried my sins far away Rising He justified freely forever, one day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming, one day the skies with His glories will shine Wonderful day, my beloved one bringing, my Savior Jesus is mine

Living He loved me, dying He saved me, buried He carried my sins far away Rising He justified freely forever, one day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day Glorious day, oh, glorious day

PRAYER

CHORAL ANTHEM Crown Him With Many Crowns!

SCRIPTURE Matthew 28: 1-10

Leader: This is the Word of the Lord.

People: Thanks be to God!

SERMON The Father’s “Yes”

HE LIVES I serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today; I know that He is living, whatever men may say. I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer, and just the time I need Him, He’s always near.

He lives, He lives! Christ Jesus lives today! He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way. He lives, He lives, salvation to impart! You ask me how I know He lives? He lives within my heart!

SACRAMENT OF THE LORD’S SUPPER

Please come forward using the center aisle. Elders will serve you in front. A gluten-free station is available. Please return to your seat using the outside aisle. Baskets for empty communion cups are located by the outside front aisle. A reminder that all of the cups contain grape juice.

The Lord’s Prayer

All: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Apostle’s Creed All: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus

Christ His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

THE EASTER SONG

Hear the bells ringing, they’re singing that you can be born again Hear the bells ringing, they’re singing “Christ is risen from the dead!” The angel upon the tombstone said “He is risen, just as He said, Quickly now, go tell His disciples that Jesus Christ is no longer dead!”

CHORUS: Joy to the world! He is risen! Hallelujah! He’s risen, Hallelujah! He’s risen! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hear the bells ringing, they’re singing that you can be born again Hear the bells ringing, they’re singing “Christ is risen from the dead!” The angel upon the tombstone said “He is risen, just as He said, Quickly now, go tell His disciples that Jesus Christ is no longer dead!”
