Easter

I Corinthians 15:16-20

"If the dead are not raised, it follows that Christ was not raised; and if Christ was not raised, your faith has nothing to it and you are still in your old state of sin. It follows also that those who have died within Christ's fellowship are utterly lost. If it is for this life only that Christ has given us hope, we of all people are most to be pitied. But the truth is, Christ was raised to life--the firstfruits of the harvest of the dead."


Lives once again our glorious King!
Where now, O Death, thy vaunted sting?
For He Who died, our souls to save,
Hath triumphed o'er the boasting grave.

Jesus is risen from the tomb,
And heavenly light doth now illume
The darksome place where late he lay,
And death hath known defeat this day.


Alleluia!
He is risen!
He is risen indeed!
