Easter Hymn 

Let us rise in early morning,

And instead of ointments bring

Hymns of praises to our Master,

And His Resurrection sing;

We shall see the Sun of Justice

Risen with healing in His wing. 

Go ye forth, His Saints, to meet Him!

Go with lamps in every hand!

From the sepulcher He riseth;

Ready for the Bridegroom stand;

And the Pascha of salvation

Hail, with His triumphant band. 

                                                           – St. John Damascene

For Reflection:                       

What hymns of praise am I bringing to the Risen Christ today? In other words, for what am I abundantly grateful?
