Description

Anthem text
Come, let us raise a joyful sound
and praise our mighty Lord.
With thankful voices shout aloud,
extol our most high God!
Come, worship the creating One,
whose hand formed earth and sea,
who counted mountain heights his own,
carved cavern majesties.
With shepherd love he prods and guides
his wand'ring people home.
In joyous songs let us unite
and come before his throne.
Oh, let us kneel before our Lord,
creator, Savior, rock,
and kneeling listen to his word,
the wondrous Word of God!
Psalm 95, para. Mark Sedio.

Sing Alleluia! Jesus lives!
Salvation has been won!
To us eternal life he gives,
the Father's risen Son.
Love's all redeeming work is done,
the ransom has been paid,
the fight is o'er the battle won,
rejoice and sing today.
The empty tomb stands as a sign,
now broken is death's sting,
the gates of heaven stand open wide,
exalt our most high king.
So raise your joys and triumphs high,
O ransomed mortals sing,
proclaim the wondrous victory,
of Christ, our God and King.
