Hymn for the Entrance Procession
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Verse 1
Alleluia, alleluia!
Hearts to heav'n and voices raise:
sing to God a hymn of gladness,
sing to God a hymn of praise.
He, who on the cross a victim
for the world's salvation bled,
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
now is risen from the dead.Verse 2
Now the iron bars are broken,
Christ from death to life is born,
glorious life, and life immortal,
on the holy Easter morn.
Christ has triumphed, and we conquer
by His mighty enterprise;
we with Him to life eternal
by His resurrection rise.Verse 3
Christ is risen, we are risen!
Shed upon us heav'nly grace,
rain and dew and gleams of glory
from the brightness of Thy face,
that we, with our hearts in heaven,
here on earth may fruitful be,
and by angel hands be gathered,
and be ever, Lord, with Thee.Verse 4
Alleluia, alleluia!
Glory be to God on high!
Alleluia! to the Savior
who has gained the victory!
Alleluia! to the Spirit,
fount of love and sanctity!
Alleluia, alleluia
to the Triune Majesty!

As Bread That Is Broken
Verse 1
Many hearts are hungry tonight,
Many trapped in darkness yearn for the Light
So many who are far from home,
And many who are lost
Oh, Lord, Your wounded children need
The power of Your crossRefrain
As bread that is broken, use our lives
As wine that is poured out, a willing sacrifice
Empower us, Father, to share the love of Christ
As bread that is broken Lord, use our livesVerse 2
Help us to begin where we are.
Help us love the people near to our hearts
Then give our faith a mission field
Wherever You may call
Lord, love Your world through each of us,
Until we've touched them allRefrain
As bread that is broken, use our lives
As wine that is poured out, a willing sacrifice
Empower us, Father, to share the love of Christ
As bread that is broken Lord, use our lives
Recessional Hymn
Our God Reigns
Verse 1
How lovely on
the mountains are the feet of him
who brings good news, good news,
announcing peace,
proclaiming news of happiness
Our God reigns, our God reigns,Our God reigns, our God reigns
Our God reigns, our God reigns.Verse 2
He had no stately form,
he had no majesty,
that we should be drawn to him.
He was despised
and we took no account of him,
yet now he reigns, with the Most High.Now he reigns, now he reigns,
now he reigns, with the Most High.Verse 3
It was our sin
and guilt that bruised and wounded him
It was our sin that brought him down.
When we like sheep
had gone astray our shepherd came
and on his shoulders bore our shame.On his shoulders, on his shoulders
on his shoulders, he bore our shame.Verse 4
Meek as a lamb
that's led out to the slaughter house
dumb as a sheep before its shearer,
his life ran down
upon the ground like pouring rain,
that we might be born again.That we might be, that we might be,
that we might be, born again.Verse 5
Out from the tomb
he came with grace and majesty;
he is alive, he is alive.
God loves us so,
see here his hands, his feet, his side.
Yes, we know, he is alive.He is alive, he is alive,
he is alive, he is alive.
