Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!
— from BCP1979

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. 

On this mountain, the Lord of Hosts will make the peoples
a feast of choice meat, a feast of choice wines.
He will destroy the veil spread over nations.
He has swallowed up death forever!
The Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces.
He will take the reproach of his people away,
for the Lord has spoken it.
— Isaiah 25:6-8

Invitatory

For I delivered to you first of all that which I received:
that Christ died for our sins,
that he was buried,
that he was raised on the third day,
that he appeared to Cephas,
and then to the twelve.
So we preach,
and so you believed.
— 1 Corinthians 15:3-5, 11

Do not be amazed.
You seek Jesus, who was crucified.
He is risen. He is not here.
Behold, the place where they laid him!

Dimissory

The Lord is my strength and song.
He has become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and salvation
is in the tents of the righteous.
I will not die, but live,
and declare the Lord’s works.
The Lord has punished me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.
Open to me the gates of righteousness.
I will enter into them. I will give thanks to the Lord.
The stone which the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone.
This is the Lord’s doing.
It is marvellous in our eyes.
This is the day that the Lord has made.
We will rejoice and be glad in it!
— Psalm 118:14-15, 17-19, 22-24

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
