WAKESIN OUR HEARTS

BUT LIKE A CHILD WAKING
FROM IT'S SLEEP WITH A
HEAVENLY SMILE

A PRAYER FOR EASTER
Be present, O risen Lord,
in this your church's Easter praise:
that its anthems of joy and its proclamations of your victory
may worthily celebrate
both the mystery of your redeeming love
and the mystery of your eternal glory. Amen
