Hymn Lyrics
The right hand of the Lord has triumphed! The right hand of the Lord is exalted!
Because of the Lord’s victory, I will not die.
Instead I will live and proclaim what God has done.
I will give thanks to the Lord, for he has answered me.
The Lord has done this. It is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day of the Lord’s victory.
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Easter Prayer (unison)
O Lord God Almighty, You have raised up your Son, rolling away the stone from the tomb and turning aside the flaming sword that barred our way back to Eden. Through your Son, the Way, the gate of everlasting life has opened. May we ever thirst and hunger to dine with you in your eternal kingdom. We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
