He came to bring the Mourners Joy

For to this end, Christ both died, and rose, and revived, that He might be Lord both of the Living and the Dead.

May my Soul be lifted up by my devoted Redeemer, who by His death has crushed my Enemies: the Devil, Hell and Death, eternal Damnation, Torment and Distress.

Therefore I praise Christ for His Love that is beyond measure. He came for our Salvation and Guidance. He has taken away for ever the Strength and Fury of our Enemies with His Stripes, Torment and Blood.

Through His death He mercifully erased our great Guilt, and the Sins that cause us Pain and Torment. His bitter suffering brought us Joy, His resurrection brought Righteousness. Praise Him, we are set free.

He won Peace with God for us and like lost Children brought us back to the Kingdom of Heaven. He enriches our Soul and makes us equal to all the Heirs of Heaven. The Angels themselves are our Brothers.

O, how glad our Soul! How our Hearts rejoice, sweet Saviour in You! Grant us Life through Your death and resurrection. Help us, Jesus, through Your Victory and Your Mercy.

Let the old Man die that the new Man may rise up stronger into a Life that pleases You. Let us reach up with Joy to Heaven, and through Your Resurrection rise up to meet You, for ever in Paradise! Amen.
