My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved, He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun shall not smite you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all evil; He will keep your life. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in From this time forth and forevermore. Walter L. Pelz First Reading Acts 3:13 21 After the reading: L O Lord, have mercy on us. C Thanks be to God. 4
Choral Response Triumphant from the Grave Triumphant from the grave Rose Jesus strong to save. He crushed O Christian, mark it well! Sin, Satan, death, and hell. Refrain Now sing your glad song And joyous praise to him prolong! Buried like sinful man Who ends his mortal span, Our Lord could not for long lie there, Decay of men to share. Refrain Fierce though God s wrath had been, Afflicting him for men, The fiery judgment burned no more; Its fury had passed o er. Refrain Sure bond and guarantee God gave to you and me: The Father has raised up his Son To seal redemption won. Refrain Now Satan is undone! Now death s dread pow r is gone! From fear of hell you are set free Through Jesus victory! Refrain Carl Schalk Second Reading 1 Corinthians 15:1 11 After the reading: L O Lord, have mercy on us. C Thanks be to God. L In many and various ways, God spoke to His people of old by the prophets. C But now in these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son.
