Easter Sunday
Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!
~Words: From hymn Christ
The Lord Is Risen Today by Charles Wesley (this stanza unknown author)
& Music: Easter Hymn composer unknown
“And so, my brothers, each of us ought surely to rejoice on
this holy day. Let no one, conscious of his sinfulness, withdraw from our
common celebration, nor let anyone be kept away from our public prayer by the
burden of his guilt. Sinner he may indeed be, but he must not despair of pardon
on this day which is so highly privileged; for if a thief could receive the
grace of paradise, how could a Christian be refused forgiveness?”
~St. Maximus of Turin (5th Century)
