1. Jesus Christ is ris'n today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeam our loss. Alleluia!
2. Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heav'nly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!
3. But the pains which he endoured, Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured; Alleluia!
Now above the sky he's King, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!
4. Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!
Praise eternal, as his love; Alleluia!
Praise him, now his might confess, Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Spirit blest. Alleluia!
Glory to God in the highest,
and, peace to his people on earth.
Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father,
we worship you, we give you thanks,
we praise you for your glory.
Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,
Lord God, Lamb of God,
you take away the sin of the world:
have mercy on us;
you are seated at the right hand of the Father:
receive our prayer.
For you alone are the Holy One,
you alone are the Lord,
you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ,
with the Holy Spirit,
in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
Peter proceeded to speak and said:
“You know what has happened all over Judea,
beginning in Galilee after the baptism
that John preached,
how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Spirit and power.
He went about doing good
and healing all those oppressed by the devil,
for God was with him.
We are witnesses of all that he did
both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem.
They put him to death by hanging him on a tree.
This man God raised on the third day and granted that he be visible,
not to all the people, but to us,
the witnesses chosen by God in advance,
who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
He commissioned us to preach to the people
and testify that he is the one appointed by God
as judge of the living and the dead.
To him all the prophets bear witness,
that everyone who believes in him
will receive forgiveness of sins through his name.”
The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
(24) This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his mercy endures forever.
Let the house of Israel say,
“His mercy endures forever.”
R. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
“The right hand of the LORD has struck with power;
the right hand of the LORD is exalted.
I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the LORD.”
R. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
By the LORD has this been done;
it is wonderful in our eyes.
R. This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad.
Brothers and sisters:
If then you were raised with Christ, seek what is above,
where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
Think of what is above, not of what is on earth.
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
When Christ your life appears,
then you too will appear with him in glory.
The Word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
Christians, to the Paschal Victim
Offer your thankful praises!
A Lamb the sheep redeems;
Christ, who only is sinless,
Reconciles sinners to the Father.
Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous:
The Prince of life, who died, reigns immortal.
Speak, Mary, declaring
What you saw, wayfaring.
“The tomb of Christ, who is living,
The glory of Jesus’ resurrection;
bright angels attesting,
The shroud and napkin resting.
Yes, Christ my hope is arisen;
to Galilee he goes before you.”
Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining.
Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning!
Amen. Alleluia.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed;
let us then feast with joy in the Lord.
R. Alleluia, alleluia.
After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning,
Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb.
And behold, there was a great earthquake;
for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven,
approached, rolled back the stone, and sat upon it.
His appearance was like lightning
and his clothing was white as snow.
The guards were shaken with fear of him
and became like dead men.
Then the angel said to the women in reply,
“Do not be afraid!
I know that you are seeking Jesus the crucified.
He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said.
Come and see the place where he lay.
Then go quickly and tell his disciples,
‘He has been raised from the dead,
and he is going before you to Galilee;
there you will see him.’
Behold, I have told you.”
Then they went away quickly from the tomb,
fearful yet overjoyed,
and ran to announce this to his disciples.
And behold, Jesus met them on their way and greeted them.
They approached, embraced his feet, and did him homage.
Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid.
Go tell my brothers to go to Galilee,
and there they will see me.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
R. Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.
I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father,
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
(At the words that follow, up to and including and became man, all bow.)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
1. Now the green blade rises from the buried grain,
wheat that in the dark earth many days has lain;
love lives again, that with the dead has been;
love is come again, like wheat arising green.
2. In the grave they laid him, Love by hatred slain,
thinking he would never wake to life again,
laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen;
love is come again, like wheat arising green.
3. Forth he came at Easter, like the risen grain,
springing from the grave where three days he had lain;
raised from the dead, my living Lord is seen;
love is come again, like wheat arising green.
4. When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain,
by your touch you call us back to life again,
fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been;
love is come again, like wheat arising green.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
1. O sons and daughters, let us sing!

to seek the tomb where Jesus lay. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

"Your Lord has gone to Galilee." Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
4. That night the apostles met in fear;
amidst them came their Lord most dear,
and said, "My peace be on all here." Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
5. When Thomas first tidings heard,
how they had seen the risen Lord,
he doubted the disciples' word. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
6. "My wonded side, O Thomas, see;
behold my hands, my feet," said he;
"Not faithless but believing be." Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
7. No longer Thomas then denied;
he saw the feet, the hands, the side;
"You are my Lord and God," he cried. Alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
8. How blest are they who have not seen,
and yet whose faith has constant been,
for they eternal life shall win. Alleluia!
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
9. On this most holy day of days,
to God your hearts and voices raise,
in laud and jubilee and praise. Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
1. The strife is o'er, the battle done;
now is the Victor's triumph won!
Songs of rejoicing have begun.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
2. The pow're of death have done their worst;
but Christ their legions has dispersed.
Let shouts of holy joy outburst.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
3. On the third day Christ rose again,
glorius in majesty to reign.
O let us swell the joyful strain.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
4. He closed the yawning gates of hell;
the bars from heav'n's high portals fell.
Let hymns of praise his triumph tell.
Alleluia!
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
5. Lord, by the stripes which wounded you,
free from death's sting your servants too,
that we may live and sing to you.
Alleluia!
Go now to love and serve the Lord and one another!
