The Easter Sunday of the Lord’s Resurrection is the greatest and
most important Christian feast. It is the celebration of the death and
resurrection of Jesus Christ as it reveals to all believers the deepest meaning
and purpose of the Christian’s faith in the One who came to destroy death and
give life to the world.
What better way to honor the sacrifice Jesus made, and celebrate
the hope He offered to us through His sacrifice, than with songs of praise and
love!
Of course, there are so many hymns and songs to sing during the most important celebration
in the Christian calendar.
Your VRS has 5 favorite
Easter songs and hymns. You can read
alongside the Psalms and the Gospels "to feel" the spirit of the
Easter.
Jesus took the sting for us so that we wouldn’t have too, so join
with me in singing, “Hallelujah!”
1. Because He Lives. It
is not just popular around Easter or on Resurrection Sunday but all year long
because the lyrics are timeless truth that comforts the believers.
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 is there to prove my savior lives
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is 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.
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives.
2. Amazing
Grace. A beautiful hymn written by John Newton
in 1779.
Amazing grace!
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home.
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home.
3. Christ
the Lord is Risen Today. The hymn perfectly fits the Easter Gospel of the
Lord's resurrection.
Christ
the Lord is ris’n today, Alleluia!
Sons
of men and angels say, Alleluia!
Raise
your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing,
ye heav’ns, and earth reply, Alleluia!
4. My Redeemer Lives.
This brings us to the cross and to the grave, and the one is found empty because
the Redeemer lives.
I know He rescued my soul
His blood has covered my sin
I believe, I believe
His blood has covered my sin
I believe, I believe
My shame He's taken away
My pain is healed in His name
I believe, I believe
My pain is healed in His name
I believe, I believe
I'll raise a banner
My Lord Has conquered the grave
My Lord Has conquered the grave
My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
My redeemer lives
5. Hallelujah
Chorus from Handel’s Messiah. This well-known
choral piece is usually sung at Christmastime. But when the German composer
Handel wrote his oratorio “Messiah” in the 1700s, the Hallelujah Chorus was
placed at the end of the second part of the piece after Jesus returns from the
grave. It has an excellent
arrangement that sounds so amazing.
Hallelujah
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
hallelujah
For
the lord God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
For
the lord God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
For
the lord God omnipotent reigneth
Hallelujah
hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
King
of kings forever and ever hallelujah
hallelujah
And
lord of lords forever and ever
hallelujah hallelujah
King of kings forever and ever hallelujah hallelujah
And
lord of lords forever and ever
hallelujah hallelujah
King
of kings forever and ever hallelujah
hallelujah
And lord of lords King of kings and lord of
lords
And he shall reign
And
he shall reign
And
he shall reign
He
shall reign
And
he shall reign forever and ever.
