A New Hymn for Easter Day by John Stuart

Hail, This Ever-Blessed Morn!

Tune: Humility (Oxford) – John Goss

See in yonder garden tomb,

Gone is all the morning gloom.
See the Holy Son appears,

Promised from eternal years.
Hail, this ever-blessed morn;

Hail redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem:

"Christ is come alive again!"

Lo, within a grave He lay,

He who died at Calvary,
He who sacrificed His life,

Stands before the morning light!

Hail, this ever-blessed morn;

Hail redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem:

"Christ is come alive again!"

Sacred Savior, all divine,

What a precious love is Thine,
You who came from highest bliss

Down to sinners such as us.
Hail, this ever-blessed morn;

Hail redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem:

"Christ is come alive again!"

Reach and teach us, Holy Lord,

With Your Love and gracious Word,

Help us to embrace Your Way

On this new born Easter Day!
Hail, this ever-blessed morn;

Hail redemption’s happy dawn;
Sing through all Jerusalem:

"Christ is come alive again!"

A New Song for Easter: Let Us Worship Together

A new song for Easter Day.

Let Us Worship Together

(Tune: Let Us Break Bread Together)

Let us wor-ship to-geth-er in this place,

Let us wor-ship to-geth-er in this place,

We have come to God’s House,

To give praise to the Ris-ing Son,

For the Lord’s great mer-cy sets us free.

Let us share peace to-geth-er in this place,

Let us share peace to-geth-er in this place,

We have come to God’s House,

In the peace of the Ris-ing Son,

For the Lord’s great mer-cy sets us free.

Let us love one an-oth-er in this place,

Let us love one an-oth-er in this place,

We have come to God’s House,

In the love of the Ris-ing Son,

For the Lord’s great mer-cy sets us free.

Benediction verse

Let us go out to-geth-er from this place,

Let us go out to-geth-er from this place,

We shall go from God’s House,

Shar-ing love from the Ris-ing Son,

For the Lord’s great mer-cy sets us free.
