I wanted to share something that might give you more focus on Easter Sunday. I want to share one of the oldest hymns out there. It is so old we don't even have the music for it.

Phos Hilaron (Hail Gladdening Light)
Hail Gladdening Light
Of His pure glory outpoured
Who is the Immortal Father, Heavenly Blest
Holiest of Holies, Jesus Christ our Lord
Now we are come to the sun's hour of rest
The lights of evening 'round us shine
We hymn the Father, Son and Holy Spirit Divine
Worthiest art Thou, at all times to be sung
With undefiled tongue
Son of our God, Giver of life alone
Therefore, in all the world Thy glories Lord Thine own.

Here is the updated version:

Joyous Light (Hail Gladdening Light-Revised)
Words and music by David Crowder, Chris Tomlin and Louie Giglo

1. Hail Gladdening Light, sun so bright
Jesus Christ, end of night, alleluia
Hail Gladdening Light, Eternal Bright
At evening time, 'round us shine, alleluia, alleluia

2. Hail Gladdening Light, such joyous Light
O Brilliant Star, forever shine, alleluia, alleluia
We hymn the Father, we hymn the Son
We hymn the Spirit, wholly Divine
No one more worthy of songs to be sung
To the Giver of Life, all glory is Thine
