Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!

Love's redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Vain the stone, the watch, the seal, Alleluia!
Christ has burst the gates of hell, Alleluia!

Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where's thy victory, boasting grave? Alleluia!

Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

Hail the Lord of earth and heaven, Alleluia!
Praise to thee by both be given, Alleluia!
Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia!
Hail the Resurrection, thou, Alleluia!

Pete Drysdale shares a few notices

We sing together, 'All heaven declares'

Sing with Lloyd and Rosemary

All Heaven Declares
The glory of the risen Lord.
Who can compare
With the beauty of the Lord?
Forever You will be
The Lamb upon the throne.
I gladly bow the knee
And worship You alone.

I will proclaim
The glory of the risen Lord.
Who once was slain
To reconcile man to God.
Forever You will be
The Lamb upon the throne.
I gladly bow the knee
And worship You alone.

Emma Blaney reads from the gospel of Matthew

Matthew 28: 1-10

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 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. 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.

The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: “He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.” Now I have told you.’

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. ‘Greetings,’ he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, ‘Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.’

Reading

On Easter Sunday we would share communion together and with the whole Church of Christ. Hear the gracious words of institution from Paul's first letter to the Corinthians.

Introduction to the reading by Barnaby Boyle.

We sing our final hymn together, "Thine is the glory!"

Thine is 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 is the glory, Risen conquering Son,

Endless is the victory, 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 is the glory, Risen conquering Son,

Endless is the victory, 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 conquerors, Through Thy deathless love:

Bring us safe through Jordan, To Thy home above.

Thine is the glory,

Risen conquering Son,

Endless is the victory,

Thou o'er death hast won.
