Traditional

Leader: I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons,
neither the present nor the future, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us f rom the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord!
People: Let us stand firm! Let nothing move us!
Let us live united as one body in and for Christ our Lord w
ho loves us – following in His steps everywhere, offering ourselves as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, giving
ourselves fully to His work, living in the Spirit and bearing much fruit.
Leader: Glory be to God who loves us so much!
All: Glory be to Christ who died, rose and will come again! Alleluia!

*EASTER MEDLEY *Alleluia! Sing To Jesus
Alleluia! sing to Jesus! His the scepter, His the throne.
Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone.
Hark! the songs of peaceful Zion, thunder like a mighty flood:
Jesus out of every nation has redeemed us by His blood.
Alleluia! not as orphans are we left in sorrow now.
Alleluia! He is near us; faith believes nor questions how.
Tho’ the cloud from sight received Him when the forty days were o’er,
Shall our hearts forget His promise, “I am with you evermore”?
*Christ The Lord Is Risen Today
Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia!
Once He died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where’s thy victory, boasting grave? Alleluia!
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids Him rise, Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise, Alleluia!
Short interlude
Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Following our exalted Head, Alleluia!
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia!

Seet & Mr Elliot Chan
Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice
CHORUS
Behold our God, seated on His throne
Come, let us adore Him
Behold our King, nothing can compare
Come, let us adore Him!
Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of His words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things?
Who can fathom
all His wondrous deeds?
Who has felt the nails upon His hands
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?
God eternal, humbled to the grave
Jesus, Savior, risen now to reign!
You will reign forever
Let Your glory fill the earth!

Jesus Paid It All I hear the Saviour say,
“Thy strength indeed is small!
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Elvina M Hall, John T Grape
Arr Robert Sterling
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow
And when before the throne
I stand in him complete
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall repeat
Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow

He is Lord, He is Lord!
He is risen from the dead and He is Lord!
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord.
UNISON PRAYER
Almighty God, through Your only Son, You overcame death and opened
to us the gate of everlasting life. Grant that we, who celebrate our
Lord’s resurrection, by the renewing of Your Spirit, may arise from the
death of sin to the life of righteousness. May our lives never deny this
eternal life, this peace and hope and joy. Praise and glory to You, the
God of life who is stronger than all kinds of death! Through the same
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
SILENT PRAYER
PRAYER ON BEHALF OF ALL
THE LORD’S PRAYER Tune: Wesley Tulus
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heav’n.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forevermore.
Amen. Amen.

Mercy Tree
Michael W Neale & Krissy Nordhoff
Soloist: Ms Kimberly Tan
Arr Joseph M Martin
On a hill called Calvary
Stands an endless mercy tree.
Every broken weary soul,
Find your rest and be made whole.
Stripes of blood that stain its frame
Shed to wash away our shame.
From the scars, pure love released:
Salvation by the mercy tree.
In the sky between two thieves
Hung the blameless Prince of peace,
Bruised and battered,

Scarred and scorned,
Sacred head pierced by our thorns.
“It is finished,” was His cry.
The perfect Lamb was crucified.
His sacrifice, our victory;
Our saviour chose the mercy tree.
Hope went dark that violent day.
The whole earth quaked at Love’s display.
Three days silent in the ground,
This body born for heaven’s crown.
On that bright and glorious day
When Heaven open up the grave:
He’s alive and risen indeed!
Oh, praise Him for the mercy tree!
Death has died, love has won;
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome:
He has risen from the dead.
One day soon, we’ll see His face;
Every tear, He’ll wipe away
No more pain or suffering;
Praise Him for the mercy tree.
Death has died, love has won;
Hallelujah, hallelujah!
Jesus Christ has overcome;
He has risen from the dead.
On a hill called Calvary
Stands an endless mercy tree.

The Day Of Resurrection Mary McDonald

Tuba: Mr Aloysius How, Timpani: Mr Lim Meng Keh
The stone is rolled away this resurrection day;
give glory to the King! Rejoice, O victory!
God’s Son has set us free; give glory to the King!
He conquered death and sin, and rose to live again;
forever He will reign! And ever more shall be
a song of victory, for Christ has come to reign!
From darkness into light. God’s love has pieced the night;
His glory now we sing. Let every heart and voice
sing praise to God; rejoice! For Jesus Christ is King!
The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad;
the Passover of gladness, the Passover of God.
WesleyWeekly
From death to life eternal, from sin’s dominion free,
our Christ has brought us over with hymns of victory.
Now let the heavens be joyful! Let earth her song begin!
The world resound in triumph, and all that is therein.
Let all things seen and unseen their notes of gladness blend;
for Christ the Lord has risen, our joy that has no end.
To Him our praises sing; hail to the King of kings!
He came to set us free; rejoice, O victory! Alleluia!

Up from the grave He arose,
With a mighty triumph o’er His foes;
He arose a victor from the dark domain,
And He lives forever, with His saints to reign.
He arose! He arose! Hallelujah! Christ arose!
Vainly they watch His bed, Jesus my Saviour;
Vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!

Death cannot keep its prey, Jesus my Saviour;

+* HYMN OF DEDICATION
Because He Lives
UMH 364
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 Saviour lives.
Chorus:
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.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy He gives;
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.
Chorus
And then one day I’ll cross the river;
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
And then as death gives way to victory,
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He reigns.
