3 Preparation for Worship We declare that Jesus is Lord. His resurrection is a decisive victory over the powers that deform and destroy human life. His lordship is hidden. The world appears to be dominated by people and systems that do not acknowledge his rule. But his lordship is real. It demands our loyalty and sets us free from the fear of all lesser lords who threaten us. We maintain that ultimate sovereignty now belongs to Jesus Christ in every sphere of life. Jesus is Lord! He has been Lord from the beginning. He will be Lord at the end. Even now he is Lord. FROM A DECLARATION OF FAITH Order of Worship *Those who are able, please stand *GATHERING HYMN No. 312 Jesus Christ Is Risen Today EASTER HYMN Minister: People: Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. TIDINGS of the CHURCHWe invite visitors to sign the pew register INTERLUDE Christ Arose JOHN FERGUSON CALL TO WORSHIP SARAH HAYES L: God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. P: We are witnesses. L: Jesus proclaimed the kingdom and healed people. P: We are witnesses. L: They put him to death by hanging him on a tree. P: We are witnesses. L: But God raised him on the third day. P: We are witnesses. L: Christ has commanded us to share this good news with all the world, so that all may believe and have life through him. P: We are witnesses: Christ is risen! Alleluia! PRAYER of CONFESSION (UNISON) SARAH HAYES How shortsighted we are, O Lord, that we so often hope in this life and forget the life to come; that we seek the living among the dead. Though you foretold your death and resurrection, our view remains clouded by death and doubt, desire and sin. Forgive us, Lord Christ, for you are Lord of all, victorious over death and ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. -3-

Crown Him, crown Him! Him! Crowns become the victor s brow. Crown the Savior, angels, crown Him! Rich the trophies Jesus brings, In the seat of power enthrone Him, While the vault of heaven rings; Him! Crown Him, crown Him! Him! Crown the Savior, King of Kings. Sinners in derision crowned Him, Mocking thus the sinner s claim; Saints and angels crowd around Him. Own Hos title, praise His name; Him! Crown Him, crown Him! Him! Spread abroad the victor s fame. Hark! Those bursts of acclamation, Hark! Those loud triumphant chords! Jesus takes the highest station; O what joy the sight affords! Him! Crown Him, crown Him! Him! King of Kings, and Lord of lords.
