Christos Voskress! Voistinu Voskress!
Христос Воскрес!
Воистину воскрес!
Christ is Risen!
Truly He is Risen!
Before the Throne of God Above
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea.
A great high priest whose name is Love
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands,
My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in Heaven He stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.
Behold Him there the risen Lamb,
My perfect spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM,
The King of glory and of grace,
One in Himself I cannot die.
My soul is purchased by His blood,
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ my Savior and my God!
One with Himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by His blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ my Savior and my God!
With Christ my Savior and my God!’
Words: Charitie L. Bancroft, 1863.
The Happy Wonderer ~ ellen b. 
Beautiful lyrics. What a special Easter this is with the addition of your first granddaughter, Addy. God bless you all.
Yes, wonderful lyrics. As for those followers of Jesus…I think God Himself had to hold their hearts together lest they fail. What a horrific time for them…the sorrow and then the great joy. It would be a lot for a person to cope.
Many blessings today to you and yours!
…Ellen, wishing you a Joyous Easter.
I hope you are having a lovely Easter!
