The Hymn of the Month

"Alleluia!  Jesus is Risen"

LSB, 474

 But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified.  He is not here, for he has risen, as he said.  Come, see the place where he lay.  Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him.  See, I have told you."  Matthew 28:5-7

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God.  And the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.  Therefore encourage one another with these words.  I Thessalonians 4:16-18

I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser.  Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit... Abide in me, and I in you.  John 15:1-4a

Alleluia! Jesus is risen!

Trumpets resounding in glorious light!

Splendor, the Lamb, Heaven forever!

Oh, what a miracle God has in sight!

Jesus is risen and we shall arise:

Give God the glory!  Alleluia!

Walking the way, Christ in the center!

Telling the storhy to openour eyes;

Breaking our bread, Giving us glory:

Jesus our blessing, our constant surprise.

Jesus is risen and we shal arise:

Give God the glory!  Alleluia!

Jesus the vine, We are the branches;

Life in the Spirit the fruit of the tree;

Heaven to earth, Christ to the people,

Gift of the future now flowing to me.

Jesus is risen and we shall arise:

Give God the glory!  Alleluia!
