Christ the Lord is risen! (W. Nee / St. John of Damascus)

Our old history begins with the Cross.
 Our new history begins with the Resurrection.

 --Watchman Nee 

Now let the heavens be joyful,

Let earth her song begin:

Let the round world keep triumph,

And all that is therein;

Invisible and visible,

Their notes let all things blend,

For Christ the Lord is risen

Our joy that hath no end. 

--Saint John of Damascus
