Easter Hymns Reflecting On The Crucifixion

The Old Rugged Cross

So I'll cherish the old rugged Cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged Cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

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.

Forever

The moon and stars they wept
The morning sun was dead
The Savior of the world was fallen
His body on the cross
His blood poured out for us
The weight of every curse upon him

There is a Fountain Filled with Blood

E'er since by faith I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die

It is Well With My Soul

My sin, of the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, o my soul

Washed by the Blood of the Lamb

We are washed by the blood
Of the Son on the cross
We are washed by the blood of the Lamb
All our guilt, all our shame
Were His wounds and His pain
We are washed by the blood of the Lamb

Easter Hymns Focusing On God's Love

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

How Deep the Father's Love for Us

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

God So Loved the World

I try so hard to find the words to say
To let you know how great is this god to whom I pray
Nothing can nor ever will compare
To the peace that flows in your soul when he is living there

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm…

Jesus Loves Me

Jesus loves me still today,
Walking with me on my way,
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live.

In the Garden

And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

Great is Thy Faithfulness

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Easter Hymns Leaning On Faith

Blessed Assurance

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Jesus Paid it All

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow

Jesus Saves

Bear the news to every land,
Climb the mountains, cross the waves;
Onward! 'tis our Lord's command;
Jesus saves! Jesus saves!

This Little Light of Mine

This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, shine, shine
Let it shine!

Power In The Blood

Would you be free from your passion and pride
There's power in the blood, power in the blood
Come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide
There's wonderful power in the blood

I Surrender All

All to Jesus I surrender
All to him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust him,
In his presence daily live.

How Great Thou Art

Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!

Nothing But the Blood

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Because He Lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!

Easter Hymns On The Joy Of The Resurrection

Resurrection Power

Now I have resurrection power living on the inside
Jesus, You have given us freedom
No longer bound by sin and darkness
Living in the light of Your goodness
You have given us freedom

Easter 'Hallelujah'

Three days went by again they came
To move the stone to bless the slain
With oil and spice anointing hallelujah
But as they went to move the stone
They saw that they were not alone
But Jesus Christ has risen Hallelujah

Christ Arose

Up from the grave He arose, with a mighty triumph o'er His foes
He arose a Victor from the dark domain
And He lives forever with His saints to reign
He arose, He arose, Hallelujah, Christ arose

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Crown Him the Lord of Heav'n
One with the Father known.
One with the Spirit through Him giv'n
From yonder glorious throne.

Oh Happy Day

Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!
He taught me how to watch and pray,
And live rejoicing every day:
Happy day, happy day,
When Jesus washed my sins away!

Christ the Lord Is Risen Today

Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!
Earth and heaven in chorus say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia!

Christ Is Risen! Hallelujah!

Christ is risen! Hallelujah!
Risen our victorious Head!
Sing His praises! Hallelujah!
Christ is risen from the dead.

He Lives

He lives, He lives, Christ Jesus lives today
He walks with me and talks with me along life’s narrow way
He lives, He lives, salvation to impart
You ask me how I know He lives, He lives within my heart
