Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ in Christian belief, and is the
most important event in the Christian faith. What are some ways in which resurrection
offers broader wisdom as well? What can we learn from witnessing death and yet
proclaiming life?

Hymn 123, Spirit of Life
Spirit of Life, come unto me.
Sing in my heart all the stirrings of compassion.
Blow in the wind, rise in the sea;
Move in the hand, giving life the shape of justice,
Roots hold me close, wings set me free;
Spirit of Life, come to me, come to me.

Hymn # 269, Lo, the Day of Days is Here, sung to the Easter Hymn; 7.7.7.7. with Alleluias
Lo, the day of days is here, Alleluia!
Festival of hope and cheer! Alleluia!
At the south-wind’s genial breath – Alleluia!
Nature wakes from seeming death, Alleluia!
Fields are smiling in the sun, Alleluia!
Loosened streamlets seaward run, Alleluia!
Tender blade and leaf appear; Alleluia!
‘Tis the springtide of the year, Alleluia!
Lo, the Easter-tide is here, Alleluia!
Music thrills the atmosphere. Alleluia!
Join, you people all, and sing – Alleluia!
Love and praise and thanksgiving, Alleluia!
Words from Frederick Lucian Hosmer (1840-1929_
