An alternative or additional verse for the tune Ash Grove especially appropriate for Easter.
Praise, glory, thanksgiving
To Christ we are giving,
For he is our future: our death and our life;
Our alpha and omega,
Our champion, our savior,
Our wellspring of life in a world full of death.
Alleluias we’re singing,
Our voices are ringing
Our joyful oblations to him now belong;
For Christ is arisen;
The tomb is now open;
We are new creations in Christ our firstborn.
