RECESSIONAL HYMN Christ is Risen! Hallelujah!M Forster, 1992, adapt. L O’Donnell

1. FROM THE VERY DEPTHS OF DARKNESS springs a bright and living light;Out of falsehood and deceit the greatest truth is brought to

sight; In the realms of death, defiant, life is marching with delight!The Lord is risen indeed!

CHRIST IS RISEN! HALLELUJAH! CHRIST IS RISEN! HALLELUJAH! CHRIST IS RISEN! HALLELUJAH! THE LORD IS RISEN INDEED!

2. Jesus meets us on the morning of that Resurrection day;Speaks our name with love, and gently says that here we must not

stay: ’Do not cling to me, but go to fearful men—proclaim today,“The Lord is risen indeed!”’

3.So announce to nonbelievers, in the valleys let it ring;Make it known upon the mountains, let the doubter rise and

sing: ‘He is Lord of Life abundant, and He changes everything;The Lord is risen indeed!’

4.Heed the message of His Mercy, sound the cry of victory;When the poor in heart are downcast, see, the Lord of Calvary;

From the dead of sin and evil, Christ has set His people free;The Lord is risen indeed!

5. To the faithless, preach the Gospel of a love they’ve never known, In their guarded palace tomb, condemned to live and die alone:

Take the risk of love and freedom; Christ has rolled away the stone!

The Lord is risen indeed!6. Glory be to God the Father, glory be to God the Son,

Glory to the Holy Spirit, Triune God, the Three-in-One,

All of Heaven and creation now in unison decree: The Lord is risen indeed!
