The Day of Resurrection! COMMUNITY The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; the Passover of gladness, the Passover of God. From death to life eternal, from this world to the sky, SUNRISE our Christ hath brought us over with of victory. SERVICE Our hearts be pure from evil, that we may see aright the Lord in rays eternal of resurrection light; and listening to his accents, may hear, so calm and plain, his own “All hail!” and hearing, may raise the victor strain.

Now let the heav’ns be joyful, let earth her song begin; let the round world keep triumph, and all that is therein; invisible and visible, their notes let all things blend, for Christ the Lord hath risen, our joy that hath no end.

The Lord Is Risen Indeed!

The Lord is risen indeed! Hallelujah! Now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. Sunday, April 4, 2021 And did He rise? Hear it, ye nations! Hear it, O ye dead! Wyche Pavilion He rose, He burst the bars of death and triumphed o’er the grave. Greenville, South Carolina Then I rose, then first humanity triumphant passed the crystal ports of light, 7:00 am and seized eternal youth. Man all immortal hail. Heaven all lavish of strange gifts to man, Thine’s all the glory, man’s the boundless bliss.
