HYMN OF THE DAY #386 (vs. 5-8) O Sons and Daughters, Let Us Sing

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
When Thomas first the tidings heard, that they had seen the risen Lord,
he doubted the disciples’ word. Alleluia!
“My pierced side, O Thomas, see, and look upon my hands, my feet;
Not faithless, but believing be.” Alleluia!
No longer Thomas then denied; he saw the feet, the hands, the side;
“You are my Lord and God! He cried. Alleluia!
How blest are they who have not seen, and yet whose faith has constant been,
For they eternal life shall win. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

BENEDICTION

HYMN #389 (vs. 1-2) Christ Is Alive! Let Christians Sing

Christ is alive! Let Christians sing. The cross stands empty to the sky.
Let streets and homes with praises ring. Love, drowned in death, shall never die.

Christ is alive! No longer bound to distant years in Palestine,
But saving, healing, here and now, and touching ev’ry place and time.

DISMISSAL
Alleluia! Christ is risen.
Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!
You are the body of Christ raised up for the world.
Go in peace. Share the good news.
Thanks be to God.
