Refrain Come, let us praose the living God; Joyfully sing to our Savior. Refrain Text and Music: Donald Fishel Copyright 1973 by W ord of God Music; CCLI # Mark 16:1-8 New International Version When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb? But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. Don t be alarmed, he said. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you. Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. The Word of the Lord: Thanks Be to God!

6 #357 Christ Arose It was impossible for death to keep its hold on Him. --Acts 2:24 Low in the grave He lay Jesus, my Savior! Waiting the coming day Jesus, my Lord! Vainly they watch His bed Jesus, my Savior! Vainly they seal the dead Jesus, my Lord! Death cannot keep his prey Jesus, my Savior! He tore the bars away Jesus, my Lord! Refrain: Up from the grave He arose, With a mighty triumph o er His foes. He arose a victor from the dark domain, And He lives forever with His saints to reign. He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose! Text and Music: Robert Lowry; In the Public Domain
