Jesus Christ is Risen Today!

Jesus Christ is risen today, hallelujah!
Our triumphant holy day, hallelujah!
Who did once upon the Cross, hallelujah!
Suffer to redeem our loss, hallelujah!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, hallelujah!
Unto Christ, our heavenly King, hallelujah!
Who endured the Cross and grave, hallelujah!
Sinners to redeem and save, hallelujah!

But the pains which He endured, hallelujah!
Our salvation have procured, hallelujah!
Now above the sky, He’s King, hallelujah!
Where the angels ever sing, hallelujah!

Sing we to our God above, hallelujah!
Praise eternal as His love, hallelujah!
Praise Him, all ye heavenly host, hallelujah!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, hallelujah!

Alleluia, Alleluia, Give Thanks to the Risen Lord

Alleluia, alleluia,
Give thanks to the risen Lord;
Alleluia, alleluia,
Give praise to His name.

Jesus is Lord of all the earth;
He is the King of Creation:
Alleluia, alleluia,
Give thanks to the risen Lord;
Alleluia, alleluia,
Give praise to His name.

Spread the good news o’er all the earth;
Jesus has died and has risen:
Alleluia, alleluia,
Give thanks to the risen Lord;
Alleluia, alleluia,
Give praise to His name.

Come, let us praise the living God,
Joyfully sing to our Saviour:
Alleluia, alleluia,
Give thanks to the risen Lord;
Alleluia, alleluia,
Give praise to His name.

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God;
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

(Words: Isaac Watts, Music: Edward Miller.  Words and Music: Public Domain)

Were You There?

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?
Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they pierced Him in the side?

Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when the sun refused to shine?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh —
Sometimes it causes me
to tremble, tremble, tremble
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

An Upper Room Did Our Lord Prepare
An upper room did our Lord prepare
For those He loved until the end,
And His disciples still gather there
To celebrate their risen Friend.

A lasting gift Jesus gave His own —
To share His bread, His loving cup;
Whatever burdens may bow us down,
He, by His Cross, shall lift us up.

And after supper, He washed their feet,
For service, too, is sacrament;
In Him our joy shall be made complete —
Sent out to serve, as He was sent.

 

Here is Bread; Here is Wine

Here is Bread; Here is Wine
Here is bread; here is wine:
Christ is with us; He is with us.
Break the bread; taste the wine:
Christ is with us here.

Here is grace; here is peace:
Christ is with us; He is with us.
Know His grace; find His peace:
Feast on Jesus here.

In this bread there is healing;
In this cup there’s life forever.
In this moment by the Spirit
Christ is with us here.

Here we are, joined in one:
Christ is with us; He is with us.
We’ll proclaim till He comes
Jesus crucified.

In this bread there is healing;
In this cup there’s life forever.
In this moment by the Spirit
Christ is with us here.

All Glory, Laud, and Honour

All glory, laud, and honour to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!

Thou art the King of Israel, Thou David’s royal son,
who in the Lord’s name comest, the King and blessed one.

All glory, laud, and honour to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!

The people of the Hebrews with palms before Thee went,
our praise and prayer and anthems before Thee we present.

All glory, laud, and honour to Thee, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children made sweet hosannas ring!

To Thee before Thy passion they sang their hymns of praise;
to Thee, now high exalted, our melody we raise.

 

Filled With Excitement

Filled with excitement, all the happy throng
Spread cloaks and branches on the city streets.
There in the distance they begin to see,
Riding on a donkey, comes the Son of God.
From every corner a thousand voices sing
Praises to Him who comes in the name of God.
With one great shout of acclamation loud
Triumphant songs break forth:

Ho – sanna! Ho – sanna to the King!
Ho – sanna! Ho – sanna to the King!!

As in that entrance to Jerusalem,
We sing hosannas to the Christ, our King,
To the living Saviour who still calls today,
Asking us to follow Him with love and faith.
From every corner a thousand voices sing
Praises to Him who comes in the name of God.
With one great shout of acclamation loud
Triumphant songs break forth:

Ho – sanna! Ho – sanna to the King!
Ho – sanna! Ho – sanna to the King!!

St. Mark’s and COVID-19

St. Mark’s and Covid-19

Dear Church Family,

At St.Mark’s, the health and well-being of the church family is of paramount importance.  In keeping with the directives of Dr. Heather Morrison, PEI’s Chief Public Health Officer, we will not have services at the church on Sunday, March 22 or 29.  However, because our spiritual well-being is also important, we will have a video of a “mini service” that you will be able to watch from your own home on each Sunday.  A link to these videos will be on the church website each Sunday morning.

This is an unprecedented situation in which we all find ourselves and you may be feeling worried, afraid, or alone.  Although we cannot meet in person, we still have means by which we can all be in contact with each other – by telephone, Skype, FaceTime, instant messaging, emails, and texts.  If you are feeling the need to chat, or want to request prayer, please reach out to us.  You can email us at stmarkspres@eastlink.ca or you can text either of our cell phone numbers as listed in the church bulletin.

In this uncertain time, it is even more important for us to turn to God for comfort and strength.  We have the assurance that God hears and answers all of our prayers – so pray and tell God your worries and concerns and ask Him to help you.  There are a number of daily Bible reading programs that are available and we are happy to send you links to several online sources that you can access or can be sent to you via email.

We will continue to have our weekly Spirit Booster.  If you don’t already subscribe to this mid-week devotional but would like to, please email Rev. Paula at stmarkspres@eastlink.ca and ask to be added to the list.

Although we will not be meeting in person the next two weeks, the church’s expenses will, unfortunately, continue.  If you do not already give your offering via PAR, you can mail your offering to the church at:

St. Mark’s Presbyterian Church

P.O.Box 20007, Sherwood RPO

Charlottetown, PE

C1A 9E3

Alternatively, you are now able to donate safely online through the website by clicking on the  “Make a Donation” tab at the top of the homepage screen.

Hopefully, with all the restrictions in place, the crisis will pass quickly and we will be able to meet in person again soon.  In the meantime, we are praying for each and every one of you, for your health and well-being – physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

With our love and prayers,

 

Dr. Tom & Rev. Paula

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
