Devotion for Easter Monday, March 28





During Easter Week, I will be offering different Easter Hymns as our devotion for the day.  These are favorite hymns and their words speak to our lives of faith.  Enjoy!


Christ is Risen! Alleluia!


Christ is risen Alleluia
Risen our victorious head
Sing His praises Alleluia
Christ is risen from the dead

Gratefully our hearts adore Him
As His light once more appears
Bowing down in joy before Him
Rising up from grief and tears


Christ is risen, all the sorrow 
that last evening round Him lay

Now has found a glorious morrow
In the rising of today

See the grave its firstfruits giving
Springing up from holy ground
He was dead but now is living
He was lost but now is found


Christ is risen alleluia

All the sadness now is o'er

Through the open gates of gladness
He returns to life once more

Death and hell before Him bending
See Him rise the Victor now
Angels on His steps attending 
glory round His wounded brow


Christ is risen Alleluia

Risen our victorious head
Sing His praises Alleluia
Christ is risen from the dead
