Jesus, Lord and Savior,
Risen from the grave,
We are here to worship
You who came to save
People lost in darkness,
Loneliness and pain;
By your grace to set us
Free to live again.

Refrain:
In your love you took our sins;
You died in our place;
You arose to give us
Life and peace and grace!

Light of light eternal,
Ever God the Son:
You poured out your glory
As the Holy One,
And took on our nature
As a human child,
So that human nature
Could be reconciled. Refrain

As we stand rejoicing
In your power and might,
Make us, by your Spirit
Children of the light,
So our words and deeds can
Show your great decree:
You who came to save us
Call us to be free. Refrain
