Christ has risen, Alleluia...

Psalm 62 (63)
Thirsting for God

Christ has risen and brought light to his people,

the people he has redeemed with his blood. Alleluia.

O God, you are my God, for you I long;
    for you my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for you
    like a dry, weary land without water.
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
    to see your strength and your glory.

For your love is better than life,
    my lips will speak your praise.
So I will bless you all my life,
    in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet,
    my mouth shall praise you with joy.

On my bed I remember you.
    On you I muse through the night
for your have been my help;
    in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
My soul clings to you;
    your right hand holds me fast.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
    as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
    world without end.
Amen.

Christ has risen and brought light to his people, 

the people he has redeemed with his blood. Alleluia.
