One Day
Author: J. Wilbur Chapman Meter: 11.10.11.10 with refrain Appears in 169 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:2 First Line: One day when heaven was filled with his praises Refrain First Line: Living, he loved me; dying he saved me Lyrics: 1 One day when heaven was filled with his praises,
one day when sin was as black as could be,
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin,
dwelt among us, my example is he!
[Refrain:]
Living, he loved me; dying, he saved me;
buried, he carried my sins far away;
rising, he justified freely forever:
one day he’s coming—-O glorious day!
2 One day they led him up Calvary’s mountain,
one day they nailed him to die on the tree;
suffering anguish, despised and rejected,
bearing our sins, my Redeemer is he! (Refrain)
3 One day they left him alone in the garden,
one day he rested, from suffering free;
angels came down o’er his tomb to keep vigil;
hope of the hopeless, my Savior is he! (Refrain)
4 One day the grave could conceal him no longer,
one day the stone rolled away from the door;
then he arose, over death he had conquered,
now is ascended, my Lord evermore! (Refrain)
5 One day the trumpet will sound for his coming,
one day the skies with his glories will shine;
wonderful day, my belovèd ones bringing;
glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine! (Refrain)

That Easter Day with Joy Was Bright
Author: John Mason Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 77 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:9 Lyrics: 1 That Easter day with joy was bright,
The sun shone out with fairer light,
When, to their longing eyes restored,
The apostles saw their risen Lord.
2 O Jesus, King of gentleness,
Do all our inmost hearts possess
And we to You will ever raise
The tribute of our grateful praise.
3 From every weapon death can wield,
Your own redeemed forever shield.
O Lord of all, with us abide
In this our joyful Eastertide.

This Is the Day
Light's glittering morn bedecks the sky
Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 8.8.4.4.8.8 with alleluias Appears in 33 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 Lyrics: PART ONE -
1 Light's glittering morn bedecks the sky;
heaven thunders forth its victor-cry:
Alleluia.
The glad earth shouts her triumph high,
and groaning hell makes wild reply:
Alleluia.
2 While he, the King, the mighty King,
despoiling death of all its sting,
and trampling down the powers of night,
brings forth his ransomed saints to light:
3 His tomb of late the threefold guard
of watch and stone and seal had barred;
but now, in pomp and triumph high,
he comes from death to victory:
4 The pains of hell are loosed at last,
the days of mourning now are past;
an angel robed in light hath said,
'The Lord is risen from the dead':
PART TWO -
5 O bitter the apostles' pain
for their dear lord so lately slain,
by rebel servants doomed to die
a death of cruel agony:
6 With gentle voice the angel gave
the women tidings at the grave:
'Fear not, your Master shall ye see;
he goes before to Galilee':
7 Then, hastening on their eager way
the joyful tidings to convey,
their Lord they met, their living Lord,
and falling at his feet adored:
8 His faithful followers with speed
to Galilee forthwith proceed,
that there once more they may behold
the Lord's dear face, as he foretold:
PART THREE -
9 That Eastertide with joy was bright,
the sun shone out with fairer light,
when, to their longing eyes restored,
the glad apostles saw their Lord:
2 He bade them see his hands, his side,
where yet the glorious wounds abide;
the tokens true which made it plain
their Lord indeed was risen again:
3 Jesu, the King of gentleness,
do thou thyself our hearts possess,
that we may give thee all our days
the tribute of our grateful praise:

all praise to God the Father be
and Holy Ghost eternally:

This is a day of new beginnings
Author: Brian Wren (b. 1936) Meter: 9.8.9.8 Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:9 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.

Christ Is Risen! Shout Hosanna
Author: Brian Wren, b. 1936 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 23 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 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!

A Prophet-Woman Broke a Jar
Author: Brian Wren, 1936- Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Matthew 28:8-10 Lyrics: 1 A prophet-woman broke a jar,
by Love's divine appointing.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
presiding and anointing.
A prophet-woman broke a jar,
the sneers of scorn defying.
With rare perfume she filled the room,
preparing Christ for dying.
2 A faithful woman left a tomb
by Love's divine commission.
She saw, she heard, she preached the Word,
arising from submission.
A faithful woman left a tomb,
with resurrection gospel.
She saw, she heard, she preached the Word,
apostle to apostles.
3 Though woman-wisdom, woman-truth,
for centuries were hidden,
unsung, unwritten, and unheard,
derided and forbidden,
the Spirit's breath, the Spirit's fire,
on free and slave descending,
can tumble our dividing walls,
our shame and sadness mending.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
by Love's divine ordaining,
the friends we need, to serve and lead,
their powers and gifts unchaining.
The Spirit knows, the Spirit calls,
from women, men and children,
the friends we need, to serve and lead.
Rejoice, and make them welcome! Used With Tune: MEGERRAN
