Tell abroad of His rising! Christ is risen! Tell abroad His rising, celebrate His victory, proclaim His mighty love!

Christ comes forth triumphant, love is victorious for all eternity.

BENEDICTION
RESPONSE: I Love to Tell the Story by Benjamin Kornelis
I love to tell the story of unseen things above, of Jesus and his glory, of Jesus and his love. I love to tell the story because I know ‘tis true; it satisfies my longings as nothing else can do. I love to tell the story; ‘twill be my theme in glory to tell the old, old story of Jesus and his love. I love to tell the story; ‘tis pleasant to repeat what seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet. I love to tell the story, for some have never heard the message of salvation from God’s own holy Word. I love to tell the story for those who know it best seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest. And when, in scenes, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song, ‘twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long. I love to tell it, to tell the story; Oh, I love to tell it, to tell the story. I love to tell, to tell the story of Jesus and his love! [A. Katherine Hankey]
