B. How Great Thou Art
C. Sweet Hour of Prayer

"A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" is a very moving song about Christ. Especially fitting was verse six: "In pris'n I saw Him next, condemned, to meet a traitor's doom at morn. The tide of lying tongues I stemmed and honored him mid shame and scorn. My friendship's utmost zeal to try, He asked if I for Him would die.
The flesh was weak, my blood ran chill, but my free spirit cried 'I will'."

B. Jesus Feeds the 5,000
C. Jesus Heals a Man Born Blind
D. Jesus is Resurrected from the Dead
E. Jesus Heals a Woman with an “Issue of Blood”
D. Jesus is Resurrected from the Dead
Perhaps the greatest miracle in all of human history is Jesus Christ’s Resurrection from the dead (see Matthew 28:1–7). As the son of both God and a mortal mother, Mary, Jesus Christ was the only person who ever lived who had both the ability to die and the power to take His body up again (see True to the Faith [2004], 16). Like other Christians, Latter-day Saints believe that because Jesus Christ triumphed over death, you, your family, and everyone who has ever lived on the earth will one day be resurrected.

Christ's resurrection ensures that all of us will live forever as resurrected beings. What did Christ do that we may also live forever with our Heaven Father and His son?
He atoned for our Sins
Only He could redeem us from our sins. God the Father gave Him this power (see Helaman 5:11). The Savior was able to receive this power and carry out the Atonement because He kept Himself free from sin: “He suffered temptations but gave no heed unto them” (Doctrine and Covenants 20:22). Having lived a perfect, sinless life, He was free from the demands of justice. Because He had the power of redemption and because He had no debt to justice, he could pay the debt for those who repent.
