As the Offering is received we invite you to fill out the “CONNECT” card in the pocket of the chair in front of you and place it on the Offering Plate so that we can greet our neighbours after the service, If you would like to keep in touch electronically with events and activities at this church please include your email address.

GATHERING Prelude Easter Acclamation: Leader: Christ is risen! People: He is risen indeed!
The Easter season is a time for both discovery and reconsideration, for a return to the basics of our faith in the Risen One in the conviction that those basics have reverberations sufficient to touch Christians from the newest to the most experienced. The season of Easter should be in every congregation a time for an unapologetic and aggressive reaffirmation of essential Christian faith.” ~ Laurence Hull Stookey, Calendar: Christ’s Time For The Church IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE
OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART
O PRAISE THE NAME (ANÁSTASIS)
Immortal, invisible, God only wise, In light inaccessible hid from our eyes, Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, Almighty, victorious, Thy great name we praise.
Open the eyes of my heart Lord Open the eyes of my heart I want to see you, I want to see you
I cast my mind to Calvary Where Jesus bled and died for me I see His wounds His hands His feet My Saviour on that cursed tree
(W & C #25)
Immortal, Invisible Open The Eyes Of My Heart Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus O Praise The Name (Anastasis) Prayer of Confession Responsive Assurance of Pardon Leader: This is the good news – the grave is empty; Christ is risen. People: He is risen indeed! Hallelujah! Leader: This is the good news - the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never put it out. People: Hallelujah! Leader: This is the good news - once we were no people; now we are God’s people. People: Hallelujah! Leader: Christ is our peace, the indestructible peace we now share with each other. People: Hallelujah! Passing of Peace Behold Our God (Baird et al) – worship team & organ Prayer for the Children
Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might; Thy justice, like mountains high soaring above Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love. To all, life Thou givest to both great and small; In all life Thou livest - the true life of all; We blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree, And wither and perish but naught changeth Thee. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight; All praise we would render - O help us to see ‘Tis only the spendour of light hideth Thee.

All songs used with permission Under CCLI #195536
I know that my Redeemer lives! What joy this blest assurance gives! He lives, he lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever living Head!
Paul Baloche
To see You high and lifted up Shining in the light of Your glory Pour out Your power and love As we sing Holy, Holy, Holy (last time) Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy, I want to see You
TURN YOUR EYES UPON JESUS W&C #335
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, And the things of earth Will grow strangely dim In the light of His glory and grace.
He lives triumphant from the grave; He lives eternally to save; He lives exalted, throned above; He lives to rule His church in love. He lives to bless me with His love; He lives to plead for me above; He lives my hungry souk to feed; He lives to help in time of need.
Benjamin Hastings et al
His body bound and drenched in tears They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb The entrance sealed by heavy stone Messiah still and all alone Chorus O praise the Name of the Lord our God O praise His Name forevermore For endless days we will sing Your praise Oh Lord oh Lord our God Then on the third at break of dawn The Son of heaven rose again O trampled death where is your sting The angels roar for Christ the King He shall return in robes of white The blazing sun shall pierce the night And I will rise among the saints My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face
He lives, all glory to His name! He lives, my Saviour, still the same; What joy this blest assurance gives: I know that my Redeemer lives!
BEHOLD OUR GOD Jonathan Baird et al Who has held the oceans in His hands Who has numbered every grain of sand Kings and nations tremble at His voice All creation rises to rejoice Behold our God seated on His throne Come let us adore Him Behold our King nothing can compare Come let us adore Him Who has given counsel to the Lord Who can question any of His words Who can teach the One who knows all things Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds
Who has felt the nails upon His hand Bearing all the guilt of sinful man God eternal humbled to the grave Jesus Savior risen now to reign Bridge Men: You will reign forever Women: (Let Your glory fill the earth) (REPEAT 6X) Men: You will reign forever Women: (Let Your glory fill)
