Christ
has Arisen, Alleluia – Lutheran Service Book #466
Matthew
28:5-7; 1 Corinthians 15:55-57
Christ has
arisen, alleluia
Rejoice and
praise Him, alleluia
For our Redeemer
burst from the tomb,
Even from
death, dispelling its gloom
Let us sing
praise to Him with endless joy;
Death’s
fearful sting He has come to destroy.
Our sin
forgiving, alleluia!
Jesus is
living, alleluia!
After the women learned that Jesus was risen, their
lives were never again the same. We too have problems. We still need direction
in life. We now have meaning and hope for life. We cling to God’s promises in
the trials of life. Of ourselves we are already dead spiritually. Yet in Christ
there is new hope and new life.
Almighty God, through Your
only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, You overcame death and opened to us the gate
of everlasting life. We humbly pray that we may live before You in
righteousness and purity forever; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who
lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Almighty
God the Father, through Your only-begotten Son Jesus Christ You have overcome
death and opened the gate of everlasting life to us. Grant that we, who
celebrate with joy the day of our Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the
death of sin by Your life-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who
lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.[1]
