Hallo and welcome to worship!

We begin with a hymn that’s usually only sung at Easter: “Low in the grave he arose”. Here is a version from a Methodist Church in Houston (note that there’s a few seconds of the congregation greeting each other before the hymn starts): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unAarn9nIFQ. And here’s a nice version from the Harmonious Chorale of Accra, Ghana (no words on screen, though): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rtBhuRUAK6g.

To end we have a lovely version of “Jesus shall reign where’er the sun”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNjdpdiK24I.

And, linked in with the sermon, here is one of Nicalai Moldoveanu’s hymns “N-am sa uit Isuse Doamne niciodata” which roughly translates as: “O Jesus my God, I will never forget what you have done for me”. The choir is nearly as good as a Welsh one! https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=655629437805491&extid=9fV7fcDaCvrF8YEG. (NB You may need to click on the “sound” button at the bottom right corner).

God bless you for watching.
