Maintaining our Faith despite COVID-19

Easter Sunday - 12 April 2020
Listen to a Festive Organ Prelude
Paraphrase on a Chorus from Handel's Judas Maccabeus
... by Alexandre GUILMANT
    Thine is the glory, Risen, conquering Son;
    Endless is the victory Thou over death hast won!
    Angels in bright raiment Rolled the stone away,
    Kept the folded grave clothes Where thy body lay.
    Thine is the glory, Risen, conquering Son;
    Endless is the victory Thou over death hast won!

Sing along with the Easter Hymn: Jesus Christ Is Risen Today - LBW 151
    Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
    Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
    Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
    Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!
    Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
    Unto Christ, our heavenly king, Alleluia!
    Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
    Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!
    But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
    Our salvation have procured; Alleluia!
    Now above the sky he's king, Alleluia!
    Where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!
    Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!
    Praise eternal as his love; Alleluia!
    Praise him, all you heavenly host, Alleluia!
    Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia!

"Angélus"
... by Henriette RENIÉ

Sing along with the hymn: This Joyful Eastertide, LBW 676
    This joyful Eastertide, away with sin and sorrow!
    My love, the Crucified, has sprung to life this morrow.
    Had Christ, who once was slain, not burst his three-day prison,
    Our faith had been in vain.
    But now has Christ arisen, arisen, arisen, arisen.
    My flesh in hope shall rest and for a season slumber
    till trump from east to west shall wake the dead in number.
    Had Christ, who once was slain, not burst his three-day prison,
    Our faith had been in vain.
    But now has Christ arisen, arisen, arisen, arisen.
    Death's flood has lost its chill since Jesus crossed the river;
    Lover of souls, from ill my passing soul deliver.
    Had Christ, who once was slain, not burst his three-day prison,
    Our faith had been in vain.
    But now has Christ arisen, arisen, arisen, arisen.
