There are so many hymns that celebrate the special Easter message that makes our hearts soar with thanksgiving and praise for all Christ has done for us. Here are a few verses from my favorite Easter hymns:
I know that my Redeemer lives;
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead;
He lives, my ever living Head.
Jesus Christ is ris'n today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!
I am content! My Jesus liveth still,
In whom my heart is pleased,
He hath fulfilled the Law of God for me,
God's wrath He hath appeased,
Since He in death could perish never,
I also shall not die forever.
I am content! I am content!
And one from my childhood:
God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus;
He came to love, heal, and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave it there to prove my Savior lives.
Because He lives I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.
