The 'cyber hymnal' came through,
and I even enjoyed the tinny, computer generated rendition of Christ the Lord is Risen Today. The lyrics for all ten verses are there, too. I also had to look up my other favorite hymn: Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing and Here is Love, from the Welsh Revival.
Then you can listen to good old James McDonald, from Harvest Bible Chapel, the church that Kathy went to in Chicago. There's a whole archive of his sermons, and he has a three part series on Easter.
And here's a prayer from the Church of England Easter vigil:
God of glory,
by the raising of your Son
You have broken the chains of death and hell:
fill your Church with faith and hope:
for a new day has dawned,
and the way to life stand open
in our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.

I'm sorry to hear you missed your song, Carole. I'm glad to hear you just did it yourself. It's been my experience of late that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.
I spent my Easter Sunday morning, scattering chocolates and starbursts around the kids center, and then watching 50 kids collect them in 4.3 minutes (I timed it). Since it's debark/embark day, we'll have to do the same thing tomorrow morning for the 800 million kids coming for the next cruise. I did have a few minutes alone this morning before work to contemplate the real meaning of Easter.
