Happy Easter/Pascha!
Now I will cling forever
To Christ, my Savior true;
My Lord will leave me never,
Whate’er He passes through.He rends death’s iron chain;
He breaks through sin and pain;
He shatters hell’s grim thrall;
I follow Him through all.

“Speak, Mary, declaring
What you saw when wayfaring.”“The tomb of Christ, who is living,
the glory of Jesus’ resurrection;
Bright angels attesting,
The shroud and napkin resting.
My Lord, my hope, is arisen;
To Galilee He goes before you.”Christ indeed from death is risen,
Our new life obtaining.
Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning!
Amen. Alleluia.
— “Christians, to the Paschal Victim,” LSB, 460:2-3.
He is risen, indeed!
