EASTER SONGBOOK
COME, PEOPLE OF THE RISEN KING
VERSE 1
Come, people of the risen King
Who delight to bring Him praise;
Come all and tune your hearts to sing.
To the Morning Star of grace.
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him;
Where steady arms of mercy reach,
To gather children in.
CHORUS
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Let ev’ry tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice;
O Church of Christ rejoice!
VERSE 2
Come those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night;
Come those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight.
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease—
But follow us through all our days
With the certain hope of peace.
CHORUS
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Let ev’ry tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice;
O Church of Christ rejoice!
INSTRUMENTAL
VERSE 3
Come young and old from ev’ry land,
Men and women of the faith;
Come those with full or empty hands,
Find the riches of His grace.
Over all the world His people sing,
Shore to shore we hear them call
The truth that cries through ev’ry age,
"Our God is all in all!"
CHORUS
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Let ev’ry tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice;
O Church of Christ rejoice!
CHORUS
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Let ev’ry tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice;
O Church of Christ rejoice!
Welcome
1 CORINTHIANS 15:19-20
If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

Where Christ has led, Alleluia!

VERSE 1
What is our hope
In life and death?
Christ alone!
Christ alone!
What is our only
Confidence?
That our souls
To Him belong.
Who holds our days
Within His hand?
What comes, apart
From His command?
And what will keep us
To the end?
The love of Christ
In which we stand.
CHORUS
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Our hope springs
Eternal,
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Now and ever
We confess,
Christ our hope
In life and death!
VERSE 2
What truth can calm
The troubled soul?
God is good;
God is good.
Where is His grace
And goodness known?
In our great
Redeemer's blood.
Who holds our faith
When fears arise?
Who stands above
The stormy trial?
Who sends the waves
That bring us nigh?
Unto the shore,
The rock of Christ!
CHORUS
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Our hope springs
Eternal,
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Now and ever
We confess,
Christ our hope
In life and death!
VERSE 3
Unto the grave,
What shall we sing?
Christ, He lives!
Christ, He lives!
And what reward
Will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with Him.
There we will rise
To meet the Lord,
Then sin and death
Will be destroyed;
And we will feast
In endless joy,
When Christ is ours
Forevermore!
CHORUS
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Our hope springs
Eternal.
O Sing, Hallelujah!
Now and ever
We confess
Christ our hope
In life and death!
ENDING
Now and ever
We confess,
Christ our hope
In life and death!
HIS MERCY IS MORE

VERSE 1
What love
could remember,
No wrongs
we have done?
Omniscient, all knowing,
He counts not their sum.
Thrown into a sea
Without bottom or shore;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
CHORUS
Praise the Lord!
His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness,
New every morn;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
VERSE 2
What patience
Would wait
As we constantly roam?
What father, so tender,
Is calling us home?
He welcomes
The weakest,
The vilest, the poor;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
CHORUS
Praise the Lord!
His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness,
New every morn;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
VERSE 3
What riches of kindness
He lavished on us
His blood was
The payment,
His life was the cost;
We stood 'neath a debt
We could never afford;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
CHORUS (2X)
Praise the Lord!
His mercy is more!
Stronger than darkness,
New every morn;
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
Our sins they are many,
His mercy is more!
