The forty-seventh track from our most recent production, "Anastasis", released on April 15, 2019 on iTunes and YouTube Music.

Lyrics:
By the shores and streams of Paradise, before Your face the saints glow in Your Light, O Day of resurrection beaming bright, O Spring of glory and immortal Life, raising us from dust unto Your heights. 

You are the Spring of Life and freedom, make us dwell now in Your Kingdom, by the throne of Your Good Father, and in the radiance of Your splendour, singing of Your Resurrection.
 
Come partake of this great feast of faith, enter in the joy of your good Lord, dwell amidst the saints and righteous, where there is no death or sorrow.

Lamb of God, Eternal Logos, Reveal the mysteries of Your Rising, on this Night full of Your blessing, Show the wonders of Your Passion, and the beauty of Your Presence. 

You descended down to raise us up; You took our poverty and weaknesses and robed us with Your Holy Spirit and nourished us with Your true Sacrifice. You put on us the ring of Sonship and made us One with You forever. 

Spread Your Wings, O Sun of Glory in the valley of death’s shadow, and give healing to the burdened. Raise the dead by Your compassion, O Lord Jesus, our Good Saviour. 

Hear the Voice of the Good Shepherd: “Behold, I stand now at the door and knock, if you hear My voice and open, I will enter here and dine with you, and rejoice with you forever. 

See the wounds and scars of My great Love, feel the marks of My true glory, I am alive now and forevermore, for you I endured and overcame.” 

I destroyed the sting of Hades, I opened the gates of Paradise, I engraved your names upon My palms, I call My sheep and they can hear My voice, I know them and they know Me, and no one can take them from My hand. 

Rejoice in Me, again I say rejoice, in this world you will have trials, but My brethren be full of good cheer, I have overcome the sorrows, from this tomb return with courage. 

I prevailed and conquered Hades, and revealed the riches of My grace, My children, I call out to You and sing: I am Your Life and Your forgiveness, and Your healing, Your redemption, weep no more, “O Death, where is your sting?”. 

Placing his hands upon Your side and wounds, Thomas beheld Your bright divinity. At this table likewise show Yourself, when we eat of Your salvation.

King of Mercy, Glory be to You! Comfort our hearts with Your true Peace, grant us the seal of Your eternity, visit us with Your salvation, redeem us and forgive us our sins.
