HE IS RISEN

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in

That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin!

Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

Thank you, trying to but haven’t yet felt comfortable anywhere.

I didn't see this thread yesterday. Busy with a houseful. So encouraging to know that so many GNs are Christians.
He is risen indeed!

Went to Easter service this morning . Lovely service and the church was packed around 150 adults and 40 children the Eucharist took a long time but it was very uplifting . All out flower displays were white and partly filled with lilies to remember loved people who had died. People bought one and the money went into church funds. I bought one for my small son who died 39 years ago. He is risen with God as Christ died for him and us all.

Jesus is Risen . Happy Easter Annie and everyone .

That is sad Reubenblue. I hope you find another to feel at home in.

Ashcombe our evening service finished with that lovely hymn too. So happy I managed to get there!

Thank you so much for this post. I miss my old church very much, sadly closed for financial reasons.

He is Risen Indeed!

Abeautiful,hymn Anniebach Jesus has truly risen from the dead ! It gives us so much hope doesn’t it ?

What a lovely thread! Thank you for starting it, Anniebach. Today our service ended with Thine Be The Glory, one of my favourites.

I wonder how many of you watched Easter at Kings on BBC1 last night and repeated on BBC2 this morning. It included some beautiful choral singing. Recommended.

Wishing all posters and readers of this wonderful thread a really happy and Holy Easter. Like GranMarie I was at Mass first thing this morning and then took Holy Communion to a housebound couple. It is a ministry I can easily offer to them as it just takes a bit of time and commitment - but it also is so rewarding to see the joy on their faces.
Thank you Annie for another wonderful thread.
Alleluia!

Thank you Anniebach for your post. I’m another who loves the hymn. I hope you’re settling into your new home Annie
Hallelujah

Happy Easter to you all.

I love that hymn Annie and we sung it at the service this morning. Not at home at the moment but in the town where Mr. S. was born and we first met.

Went to the church where we were married this morning for the Easter service and Holy Communion; always so moving on this day.

Happy Easter Annie, enjoy your day everyone.flowers

nadateturbe Sun 09-Apr-23 15:29:46

Great story Septimia. And thanks Suedonim. So nice of you.
I hope you are all having a happy peaceful Easter day.

Grannmarie Sun 09-Apr-23 13:27:13

Easter Blessings to all!

Thank you, Anniebach and Septimia.
I'm not long home from morning Mass, then visiting the sick with Holy Communion.

Annie, I hope you are happily settled in your new home. How great thou art has special memories for us. The piper played
it accompanying the hearse to the graveside when DH's sister's died of Covid during lockdown.

Our final hymn was Thine be the glory, Cabbie. I hope your DH continues to improve and can return to church soon.

Alleluia, Alleluia, give thanks to the Risen Lord,
Alleluia, Alleluia, give praise to his Name.
