If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who lives in you.

O Earth, on EastÂer mornÂing
All juÂbiÂlantÂly sing,
As on the dear Lord’s alÂtar
We lay the flowÂers of spring.
They seemed to die in auÂtumn,
But lo, toÂday they bloom;
So Christ who died has risÂen
In beauÂty from the tomb.
Refrain
Lo, Christ the Lord is risÂen!
O Earth, lift up thy voice
In joy of EastÂer mornÂing,
The SavÂior lives: reÂjoice!
Behold, the grave is empÂty
In which the SavÂior lay;
O’er sin and death triÂumÂphant
He lives in Heav’n toÂday;
And as our Savior livÂeth,
We know that we shall live
And share with Him the gloÂry
He promÂisÂeth to give.
Refrain
All hail, Thou risÂen SavÂior!
By Thy deÂsertÂed tomb
Faith stands and points us heav’nÂward
Above earth’s grief and gloom.
There in the spring of HeavÂen
The soul’s white flowÂer shall rise
From out earth’s winÂter slumÂber
And bloom in paÂraÂdise.
Refrain
