The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved.
— Psalm 93:1 (KJV)
The Lord reigneth.
May this be
our incessant,
joyful,
victorious
anthem of praise!

Risen in Glory, Alleluia!
An Easter Anthem
(For SATB choir and piano, with optional brass/handbells)
Verse 1
In the shadow of the cross we stood,
Where love poured out in crimson flood;
The Savior slain, the curtain torn,
The weight of sin forever borne.
Pre-Chorus
The stone was sealed, the guards kept watch,
Yet heaven’s plan no grave could match;
In silence deep, the third day dawned—
The King of life forever spawned!
Chorus
Christ is risen! Alleluia!
Risen in glory, death defeated!
Risen in power, our chains are broken!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ the Lord is risen today!
Sing with joy, the tomb is empty—
He lives forever, come what may!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Verse 2
Now Mary heard the angel’s word,
“Behold, He is not here—He’s Lord!”
The risen Christ in victory strode,
The path of life, the way to God.
Bridge
What once was lost is now restored,
By wounds that heal, by grace outpoured;
O death, where is your sting this day?
The grave has lost its hold—He reigns!
Final Chorus
Christ is risen! Alleluia!
Risen in glory, reigning on high!
Risen forever, our hope eternal!
Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ the Lord is risen today!
Let every tongue and nation sing—
The King has conquered everything!
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Risen in glory—Alleluia!
Coda
Alleluia… alleluia…
Christ is risen indeed!
Risen in glory… alleluia!

Hebrews 10:14 (KJV)
For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
In dawn’s unquenchable aurora, blazing wide,
Where ancient glooms dissolve in floods of tide,
One Offering—supreme, resplendent, whole—
Hath perfected forever every ransomed soul.
No more the crimson streams on altars spent,
No shadowed hands in trembling sacrament;
But Christ the Victor, robed in living flame,
Illumines His own with His transcendent name.
Forever perfect—O triumphant cry!
Though grace still works its slow, refining fire,
And pilgrim souls are daily lifted higher,
Yet stands the verdict: spotless, justified!
In righteousness ablaze they stand arrayed,
With choral throngs where sapphire glories cascade.
The single stroke that rent the veil in twain
Unloosed pure cataracts of rapturous refrain:
“Hosanna! Worthy is the Lamb once slain!
By one oblation endless light we gain!”
Rejoice, ye saints, in ceaseless, diamond glee—
His offering hath crowned eternity!

The joy of the Lord erupts in golden roar,
A wildfire feast that no darkness can tame!
It storms the gates of grief and breaks the door,
And every captive heart cries out His name.
No valley deep enough to drown its blaze,
No mountain high enough to block its flight—
It leaps across the years, through endless days,
A banner blazing brighter than the light!
We rise on wings of laughter, fierce and free,
Our feet crush sorrow underneath our dance;
The enemy retreats in trembling plea
While heaven joins our shout of vast expanse.
O joy invincible, our strength, our crown—
In Thee we triumph, and all creation bows down!

I wish I could do more, my Lord, my King,
For You who gave everything—
Your hands pierced, Your side torn wide,
To raise me up in victory’s tide.
Yet here I stand with empty hands,
A heart that burns, yet scarce began
To match the grace that set me free,
The boundless love You poured on me.
Still, in the quiet, small and true,
I offer what my soul can do:
A whispered praise at break of day,
A step of faith along Your way.
A cup of water given kind,
A listening ear, a soul aligned—
These humble threads, though frail they seem,
You weave into a greater dream.
So take my “more,” though small it be,
And multiply it, Lord, through me.
Until that day I see Your face,
And all my striving finds its place.
In Your mercy, let it be enough—
My all for You, my precious love.

The poem opens with a serene depiction of early morning: soft golden light spreading over hills as the world awakens in quiet beauty. High in the tallest tree, a small bird perches and begins to sing—not out of need or sorrow, but in pure, unburdened joy. Its clear, trembling notes rise like a hymn, praising the Creator who gave it wings, voice, and life.The bird becomes a living emblem of effortless gratitude and worship: free of worldly cares, it simply offers song to the One who made it. The speaker is moved by this tiny, radiant creature and gently longs for the same simplicity in human hearts. We, too often weighed down by worry or distraction, are invited to learn from the bird—to rise with the dawn, open our souls, and lift our own praise to our Creator with the same natural, wholehearted delight.In essence, the poem is a tender meditation on gratitude, worship, and emulation: the bird’s morning song reveals a model of how we might live—awake to beauty, unencumbered by complaint, and continually singing back to God in response to His gift of life and wonder.
In the hush of dawn, when the world lies still,
Golden light spills soft o’er the eastern hill,
A tiny bird ascends the tallest tree,
Perched on swaying bough, wild and free.
His feathers catch the rose and amber gleam,
A jewel alive in the morning’s dream,
Throat trembling wide, he pours forth his lay—
Pure notes of joy that chase the night away.
No thought of sorrow, no weight of care,
Only praise ascending through the crystal air,
A hymn to the Maker who formed his wing,
Who tuned his voice that the heavens might ring.
O may our hearts, so often bound and dim,
Learn from this creature, so small yet so brim
With gratitude’s fire, with love’s simple art—
To lift our own song with an open heart.
Let us rise like the lark in the breaking day,
And sing to our Creator, come what may,
For in every breath, in beauty’s embrace,
We find the same wonder, the same boundless grace.

When God beholds the sinner’s scroll,
He finds no stain remains;
The debt is paid, the breach made whole,
Forgiven are his chains.
Though every fault lies bare to sight
Beneath th’ all-seeing eye,
Yet love, more strong than boundless light,
Refuses memory’s cry.
Omniscience could rehearse the fall,
Recount each wandering trace;
But mercy overrules it all
And grants a spotless place.
The Judge who knows all things aright
Declares the record clean;
For Christ has borne the darkened night
And washed away the sin.
No charge shall rise on judgment day,
No guilt shall e’er return;
The Lord who blotted sins away
Hath sworn He will not turn.
O depth of covenant grace divine,
That love should silence lore!
The past is lost in love’s design—
God remembers sin no more.

Blessed be the Lord who daily loadeth us with grace,
His benefits like rivers from His throne forever flow;
A store of endless mercy shines upon our pilgrim race,
And crowns each dawn with favor that His children all may know.
Majestic hope arises with the morning’s golden ray,
Its radiant beams of glory chase all shadows far away;
The promise of His victory fills our hearts with joyful play,
For joint heirs of His kingdom shall with Christ forever stay.
Victorious royal forces, clad in garments pure and bright,
March forth with banners waving ‘neath the King’s unyielding hand;
The hosts of hell shall tremble at the splendor of His might,
For sons and daughters crowned with life in triumph firmly stand.
O King of Kings and Lord of Lords, enthroned in regal state,
Thy scepter rules creation with a power none can stay;
We joint heirs of Thy promise find our everlasting fate,
To reign with Thee in glory where no darkness mars the day.
From everlasting ages, Thy benevolence hath poured,
Unfailing streams of goodness on the objects of Thy love;
Each blessing multiplies to magnify our living Lord,
Who lifts us to His bosom in His paradise above.
