Easter Sequence

(before the Gospel - please stay seated)

Christians, praise the paschal victim!
Offer thankful sacrifice!

Christ the Lamb has saved the sheep,
Christ the just one paid the price,
Reconciling sinners to the Father.

Death and life fought bitterly,
For this wondrous victory;
The Lord of life who died reigns glorified!

O Mary, come and say,
What you saw a break of day,
“The empty tomb of my living Lord!
I saw Christ Jesus risen and adored.”

Bright angels testified,
Shroud and grave clothes side by side!
“Yes, Christ my hope rose gloriously.
He goes before you into Galilee.”

Share the good news, sing joyfully;
His death is victory!
Lord Jesus, Victor King,
Show us mercy.

Amen! Alleluia!

Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit,
Cleansed by the blood of Christ our king;
Heirs of salvation, trusting his promise
Faithfully now God's praise we sing.

Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit,
Dead in the tomb with Christ our king;
One with his rising, freed and forgiven,
Thankfully now God's praise we sing.

Baptized in water, sealed by the Spirit,
Marked with the sign of Christ our king;
Born of one Father, we are his children
Joyfully now God's praise we sing.

Recessional Hymn - 539 - Sing with All the Saints in Glory

Sing with all the saints in glory,
Sing the resurrection song!
Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story,
To the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking,
Soon the storms of time shall cease;
In God’s likeness, people waking,
Know the everlasting peace.

Oh, what glory, far exceeding
All that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts for ages pleading,
Never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
There on high our welcome waits;
Every humble spirit shares it,
Christ has passed the eternal gates.

Life eternal! heav’n rejoices:
Jesus lives who once was dead;
Join with all the heavenly voices;
Child of God, lift up your head!
Patriarchs from distant ages,
Saints all longing for their heaven,
Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
All await the glory given.

Life eternal! O what wonders
Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When amid earth’s closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne!
Oh, to enter that bright portal,
See that glowing firmament,
Know, with you, O God immortal,
Jesus Christ whom you have sent!
