Crown Him with Many Crowns LSB 525 Stanza 3 will be sung by the choir.

5. Crown Him the Lord of heav’n, Enthroned in worlds above,

Crown Him the king to whom is giv’n The wondrous name of Love.

Crown Him, ye kings, with many crowns, For He is king of all.

My Jesus is My Lasting Joy

My Jesus makes my heart rejoice, His child am I alway;

A Shepherd kind and gracious He, Within His house I’d stay. His constant love to me He shows, My very name He knows;

Whate’er betide, His love will guide And keep all harm away.

My Jesus is my lasting joy, In peace I go and come;

His richest treasure He hath giv’n, And to His arms I come.

When life is done, With God’s own Son, In faith I shall abide;

He reigns above, And in His love Will keep me at His side. Arr. Roberta Bitgood

This Joyful Eastertide LSB 482 Stanzas 1, 2

This joyful Eastertide Away with sin and sorrow!

My love, the Crucified, Has sprung to life this morrow:

Had Christ, who once was slain, Not burst His three-day prison,

Our faith had been in vain:

But now has Christ arisen, arisen, arisen;

But now has Christ arisen!

Death’s flood has lost its chill Since Jesus crossed the river;

Lover of souls, from ill My passing soul deliver:

Had Christ, who once was slain, Not burst His three-day prison,

Our faith had been in vain:

But now has Christ arisen, arisen, arisen;

But now has Christ arisen!

Everywhere I Go

Everywhere I go, the Lord is near me.

If I call upon him, he will hear me.

Never will I fear, for the Lord is near, everywhere I go.

In the dark of night should things alarm me,

Ever in his sight no ill may harm me.

I will be of cheer, for the Lord is near, everywhere I go.

He is with me day by day; he will be my strength and stay.

From his path I will not stray but follow in his way.

In the coming days of joy or sadness, I will praise his name with songs of gladness. For to me it’s clear that the Lord is near, everywhere I go.

O Splendor of the Father’s Light

O Splendor of the Father’s light That makes our daylight lucid, bright;

O Light of light and sun of day, Now shine on us your brightest ray.

O Father, fashion love in us; Drive envy from the envious; And may you prosper all our days With strength to live in your pure grace.

True Sun, break out on earth and shine In radiance with your light divine;

By dazzling of your Spirit’s might, Oh, give our jaded senses light.

The Father sends His Son, our Lord, To be His bright and shining Word;

Come, Lord, ride out your gleaming course And be our dawn, our light’s true source. Amen.

My Song is Love Unknown

My song is love unknown, My Savior’s love to me,

Love to the loveless shown That they might lovely be.

Oh, who am I That for my sake

My Lord should take Frail flesh and die?

He came from His blest throne Salvation to bestow;

But men made strange, and none The longed-for Christ would know.

But, oh, my friend, My friend indeed, Who at my need His life did spend!

Sometimes they strew His way, And His sweet praises sing;

Resounding all the day Hosannas to their King.

Then “Crucify!” is all their breath,

And for His death they thirst and cry.

Here might I stay and sing, No story so divine! Never was love, dear King, Never was grief like Thine.

This is my friend, In whose sweet praise

I all my days Could gladly spend. Text: Samuel Crossman, c. 1624-83

Duet from Cantata No. 15

Ich jauchze, ich lache mit Schall

Ihr klaget mit Seufzen, ihr weinet ob einerlei Fall

Euch kränket die plötzlich zerstörete Macht

So künftig Tod Teufel und Sünde verlacht.

I’m shouting and laughing for joy; Away now with sorrow and crying, for evil is gone.

The power of evil is vanished away.

Forever rejoicing with thanks we pray. From Cantata No. 15 by J.S. Bach

Christ, the life of all the living, Christ, the death of death, our foe,

Who, Thyself for me once giving To the darkest depths of woe:

Through Thy suff’rings, death, and merit I eternal life inherit.

Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.

Then, for all that wrought my pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore,

For Thine anguish in the Garden, I will thank Thee evermore,

Thank Thee for Thy groaning, sighing, For Thy bleeding and Thy dying,

For that last triumphant cry, And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.

I Know That My Redeemer Lives LSB 461 Stanzas 1, 2, 7

I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives!

He lives, He lives, who once was dead; He lives, my everliving head.

He lives triumphant from the grave; He lives eternally to save;

He lives all-glorious in the sky; He lives exalted there on high.

He lives and grants me daily breath; He lives, and I shall conquer death;

He lives my mansion to prepare; He lives to bring me safely there.

I Am Jesus’ Little Lamb LSB 740

I am Jesus’ little lamb, Ever glad at heart I am;

For my Shepherd gently guides me,

Knows my need and well provides me,

Loves me ev’ry day the same, Even calls me by my name.

Day by day, at home, away, Jesus is my staff and stay.

When I hunger, Jesus feeds me,

Into pleasant pastures leads me;

When I thirst, He bids me go Where the quiet waters flow.

Who so happy as I am, Even now the Shepherd’s lamb?

And when my short life is ended,

By His angel host attended,

He shall fold me to His breast, There within His arms to rest.

Jesus, Sun of Life, my Splendor, Jesus, Thou, my Friend most tender,

Jesus, Joy of my desiring, Fount of Life, my soul inspiring,

At Thy feet I cry, my Maker, Let me be a fit partaker

Of this blessed food from heaven, For our good, Thy glory, given.

Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray Thee, Let me gladly here obey Thee,

By Thy love I am invited, Be Thy love with love requited; From this Supper let me measure, Lord, how vast and deep love’s treasure.

Through the gifts Thou here dost give me As Thy guest in heav’n receive me.

Closing Prayer

Remember, O Lord, this congregation present, and those who are absent with good cause;

have mercy upon them, and upon us, according to the multitude of Thy loving-kindness; fill

their garners with good things; preserve their marriages in peace and love; take care of their

little ones; lead their youth; give strength to the aged. Comfort the timid and afraid; bring

home the scattered, restore those who have erred; and unite them all in Thy holy catholic and

apostolic Church. Succor those who are vexed with unclean spirits; go with all travelers by

sea or land; protect the widow, shelter the orphan, deliver those in the mines; and those in

exile; those in prison, distress or poverty, or any kind of trouble. Remember all who stand in need of Thy pity; those that love us; those that hate us; those who desire our prayers,

unworthy though we be to offer them to Thee.

Remember, O Lord, all Thy people, and pour upon them an abundance of Thy goodness,

granting all their prayers unto salvation. All those whom we have not remembered through

ignorance or forgetfulness, or through the multitude of their names, do Thou Thyself call to

mind, O God, who knowest the name of each even from their mother’s womb. For Thou, O

Lord, art the Helper of the helpless, the Hope of the homeless, the Savior of the tempest-tossed, the Harbor of the voyager, and the Physician of the sick. Be Thou all things to all Thy

children; for Thou knowest them all, their petitions, their dwellings, and their minds. Amen.

—Basil the Great of Caesarea (329-379)
