"Peace to You Whose Hearts
Are Troubled" tune hyfrydol
“Peace to you whose hearts are troubled Now when doubts besiege your mind. See my hands and feet; Yes, touch me! Flesh and blood is what you’ll find!” Jesus spoke these words in greeting To His friends without delay In the room where they were hiding On His resurrection day.
Peace today, O Lord, You bring us When our troubled hearts would break. When we sorrow over loved ones Grant us comfort for Your sake. Flesh and blood is what You promise Those who follow in Your way, Yes! in You we are united For that resurrection day!
“Everything must be accomplished, Written of the Christ, the Lord, In the Psalms and in the Prophets And by Moses in the Law. You will give a faithful witness Of My suffering and My death. You will preach to all the nations How I rose again to life.”
Jesus, You have sent Your Spirit, God the Father’s promised pow’r, To prepare us for our witness To the world in this last hour! Now we pray that for our mission You will keep us in Your peace; For our sins grant us remission; Now let strife and discord cease!

Easter Eucharist
Death is defeated! See the curse of sin Crushed in a battle we could never win! Jesus, the Victor, overcame our foes. On the third morning triumphant He rose!
He was the Victim; now He serves as Priest. All that He sacrificed becomes our feast. Come eat His Body, risen from the dead, And drink the life-giving Blood that He shed.
Death was the ransom Jesus came to pay! Now to His glory joyful people say: “Come see His mercy all across the land; We live our thanks giving praise to the Lamb.”
-- Gilbert A. Franke, 1/23/2012 (Rev 3/16/2013)
