An Easter Prayer
All: Lord God, walk with us in this time of worship, as you walked with Mary in the garden. Speak our names, that we might hear your voice. Show us your grace, that we might experience your presence and know your love. Grant us faith, even as we gather at the tomb, that we might believe in your resurrection. In the risen Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

Benediction ⬧ Rev. Robert McMillan
The tomb is empty, Christ has risen.
As you journey in faith, may your life be full,
your love be abundant, and your hope be eternal.
Live this day and always for Christ Jesus
because the Risen Christ lives in you.
All: Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Amen!
Please join us in the Enfinger Center for breakfast after this service.
Up From the Grave He Arose
Low in the grave He lay, Jesus my Savior!
Waiting the coming day, Jesus, my Lord!
CHORUS: Up from the grave He arose,
with a mighty triumph o’er His foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
and He lives forever with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Alleluia! Christ arose!
Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus, my Savior!
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus, my Lord!
CHORUS
Death cannot keep his prey. Jesus my Savior!
He tore the bars away. Jesus, my Lord!
CHORUS
In the Garden
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses,
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,
The Son of God discloses.
CHORUS: And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me,
Within my heart is ringing.
CHORUS
He Lives
I serve a risen Savior, He’s in the world today,
I know that He is living whatever men may say;
I see His hand of mercy, I hear His voice of cheer;
and just the time I need Him, He’s always near.
CHORUS: He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today!
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way.
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart!
You ask me how I know He lives?
He lives within my heart!
In all the world around me I see His loving care,
And though my heart grown weary, I never will despair; I
know that He is leading through all the stormy blast,
The day of His appearing will come at last.
(CHORUS)
Rejoice, rejoice, O Christian, lift up your voice and sing
Eternal alleluias to Jesus Christ the King!
The hope of all who seek Him, the help of all who find,
None other is so loving, so good and kind.
(CHORUS)
