April 7th Daily Hymn, Readings, Word, Psalm and Prayer

Hymn of the Day
Thine is the glory, risen conquering Son; endless is the victory thou over death hast won! Angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away, kept the folded grave clothes where thy body lay. Thine is the glory, risen conquering Son; endless is the victory thou over death hast won! ("Thine Is the Glory" - Text: Edmond Budry, 1854-1932; tr. R. Birch Hoyle, 1875-1939)

Readings of the Day
Matthew 27.32-66-At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom.
Deuteronomy 7-8-For the LORD your god is bringing you into a good land, a land with flowing streams, with springs and underground waters welling up in valleys and hills, a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey, a land where you my eat bread without scarcity, where you will lack nothing, a land whose stones are iron and from whose hills you may mine copper. You shall eat your fill and bless the LORD your God for the good land that he has given you.
Job 7-What are human beings, that you make so much of them, that you set your mind on them, visit them every morning, test them every moment?
