The three songs "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today," "Holy Is Your Name," and "Ubi Caritas" fill the inner space of Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Church in the Diocese of Fresno. In the first song, "Christ, the Lord, is ris'n today." The line from the first verse, "Christ, the Lord is ris'n on high," is repeated in the second verse. In the third verse, "Christ is thron'd in endless might and pow'r." In the song "Holy Is Your Name," Mary was "lowly as a child," but today she is blest. Mary hopes that God will have mercy on those who truly love him and that he will keep his word. The third song, "Ubi Caritas," is a short Latin hymn. The Latin words "Ubi caritas et amor Deus ibi est" ("The Lord is where love and charity are") not only reveal the truth but also are sung with the voice of an angel.
