Intercession: "Today He Rose and Left the Dead"

"Today He Rose and Left the Dead" Our Father, if there be any who are mourning, and that hang down their heads, lift Thou up the light of Thy countenance and make them glad. On this Day of the Lord's Resurrection may no soul be in the gloom of the sepulchre.

"Today He rose and left the dead, And Satan's empire fell."

May all the saints to-day rejoice in their risen Lord, and rise with Him, and sit together with Him in the heavenlies, and reign with Him in the fullness of His joy. The Lord bless our dear friends who cannot come up to Thy house. Thou rememberest them and so do we. The Lord send them His blessing in their chamber. Oh, that the house wherein they tarry might be bright with the presence of their Lord. Restore the sick; and such of our brotherhood as are appointed unto death, the Lord be solemnly with them. May they die in transports. May they depart out of this world full of the eternal life. May the great sea of God come up in flood-tide into the river of their being, so that though it beginneth to run low from its natural sources it may be filled from the supernatural deeps of God's indwelling presence. Amen.
