This is a day of new beginnings
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16:7 Lyrics: 1 This is a day of new beginnings,
time to remember and move on,
time to believe what love is bringing,
laying to rest the pain that's gone.
2 For by the life and death of Jesus,
love's mighty Spirit, now as then,
can make for us a world of difference
as faith and hope are born again.
3 Then let us, with the Spirit's daring,
step from the past and leave behind
our disappointment, guilt and grieving,
seeking new paths, and sure to find.
4 Christ is alive, and goes before us
to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings --
our God is making all things new.
[Alternative text (v. 4) for Holy Communion:]
In faith we'll gather round the table
to show and share what love can do.
This is a day of new beginnings --
our God is making all things new.

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16:1-8 First Line: Christ is risen! Shout hosanna! Lyrics: 1 Christ is risen! Shout hosanna!
Celebrate this day of days!
Christ is risen! Hush in wonder;
all creation is amazed.
In the desert all surrounding,
see, a spreading tree has grown.
Healing leaves of grace abounding
bring a taste of love unknown.
2 Christ is risen! Raise your spirits
from the caverns of despair.
Walk with gladness in the morning.
See what love can do and dare.
Drink the wine of resurrection,
not a servant, but a friend.
Jesus is our strong companion.
Joy and peace shall never end.
3 Christ is risen! Earth and heaven
nevermore shall be the same.
Break the bread of new creation
where the world is still in pain.
Tell its grim demonic chorus:
“Christ is risen! Get you gone!”
God the First and Last is with us.
Sing hosanna, everyone!

guard our precious light;

women, children, men.
Jesus makes us free to live again!

let the righteous stare;
come and go in peace;
love him with your hair! [Refrain]

stand when men have fled;
Christ needs loving still,
though your hope is dead.

earliest to mourn,
earliest to sing! [Refrain] Used With Tune: NEW DISCIPLES

O Day of Rest and Gladness
Author: Christopher Wordsworth Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 820 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16:2 Lyrics: 1 O day of rest and gladness,
O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness,
most beautiful, most bright!
On thee the high and lowly
before th'eternal throne
sing "Holy, holy, holy"
to the great Thee-in-One.
2 On thee at the creation,
the light first had its birth,
on thee for our salvation
Christ rose from depths of earth;
on thee our Lord victorious,
the Spirit sent from heav'n,
and thus on thee most glorious,
a triple light was giv'n.
3 New graces ever gaining
from this our day of rest,
we reach the rest remaining
to spirits of the blest.
To Holy Ghost be praises,
to Father and to Son;
the church her voice upraises
to thee, blest Three-in-One.

O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Author: Benjamin Webb (1819-1885) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 143 hymnals Scripture: Mark 16 Lyrics: 1 O Love, how deep, how broad, how high!
Surpassing thought and fantasy
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals' sake.
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast, and hungered sore;
for us temptations sharp he knew;
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed, for us he taught,
for us the lost with love he sought,
by words, and signs, and actions, he
brought health and hope to set us free.
4 For us to wicked men betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in crown of thorns arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us at length gave up his breath.
5 For us he rose from death again,
for us he went on high to reign,
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 To him whose boundless love has won
salvation for us through his Son,
to God the Father, glory be
both now and through eternity. Topics: Christian Year Lent; Creed Used With Tune: EISENACH (LEIPZIG) Text Sources: Latin, 15th century
