He is Risen!

“He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭28‬:‭6‬ ‭NLT‬‬

This morning I woke up with a reminder of this Hymn in my heart. May the joy of Jesus’ resurrection speak so deeply in your heart today.

For all my English readers, here is a translation of the hymn with the Afrikaans text below.

HYMN 183

Holy Jesus, Lord of all,

You are exalted to the heavenly throne.

We bring You honor, Christ the Lord!

With glory You are crowned.

Though fair the earth, it holds little worth:

We are small before Your greatness, Lord.

You are our life. You are our peace.

Your Spirit must guide and teach us here.

You are the Alpha and the Omega.

You will come, and everyone shall see You.

You are the First. You are the Last.

All creation shall serve You.

Gesang 183

Heilige Jesus, heer van die Here,
U is verhoog tot die hemel troon.
ons bring U ere, Christus, die Here !
met heerlikheid is U gekroon.
Hoe skoon die aarde, dit het min waarde:
ons is gering voor U grootheid, Heer.
U is ons lewe. U is ons vrede.
U gees moet ons hier lei en leer.
U is die Alfa en die Omega.
U kom en elkeen sal U kan sien.
U is die eerste. U is die laaste.
die ganse skepping sal U dien.
