2 MORNING WORSHIP 9:00/11:00 AM Prelude Christ Lay in the Bonds of Death Johann Sebastian Bach/Ingolf Dahl Chorale Chorale Fantasy In death s strong grasp the Savior lay, for our offenses given; But now the Lord is risen today, and brings us life from heaven; Wherefore let us all rejoice, and praise our God with cheerful voice, And sing loud Alleluias, Alleluia! An Easter Alleluia Robert Elmore Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia! Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia! Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia! Suffer to redeem our loss, Alleluia! All hail the power of Jesus name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all. Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all. Westminster Brass Colin Howland, organ Thine Be the Glory arr. J. Marty Cope Thine be the glory, risen, conqu ring Son; endless is the vict ry Thou o er death hast won. Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, kept the folded graveclothes, where Thy body lay. Thine be the glory, risen, conqu ring Son; endless is the vict ry Thou o er death hast won. Lo! Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb; lovingly He greets us, scatters fear and gloom. Let His church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing, for her Lord now liveth, death hath lost its sting. Thine be the glory, risen, conqu ring Son; endless is the vict ry Thou o er death hast won. No more we doubt Thee, glorious Prince of life; life is naught without Thee; aid us in our strife. Make us more than conqu rors, thro Thy deathless love: bring us safe thro Jordan to Thy home above. Thine be the glory, risen, conqu ring Son; endless is the vict ry Thou o er death hast won. Tenth Church Choir Acclamation: 1 Corinthians 15:55 57 Minister: O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting? The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. People: But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Minister: Christ is risen! People: He is risen indeed!

3 * Confession (from The Book of Common Prayer) Almighty God, to Whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from Whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee, and worthily magnify Thy holy name; through Christ our Lord.

Amen, Amen. * Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed 381 I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us and our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spake by the prophets. And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. Prayer of Thanksgiving and Intercession Announcements * Hymn 271: Sing, Choirs of New Jerusalem Lyngham (Praisemakers and Praisemakers Plus are not meeting this morning.) * Offering Prayer Offertory: Sing Ye to the Lord Edward Bairstow Sing ye to the Lord, for He hath triumphed gloriously. Pharoah s chariots and his host hath He cast into the sea. Mighty Victim from the sky, hell s fierce powers beneath Thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light. Now no more can death appall, now no more the grave enthrall. Thou hast opened paradise and in Thee Thy saints shall rise. Alleluia, alleluia! Amen, amen!
