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.
That which was from the beginning,
that which we heard, that which we saw,
and our hands have touched —
that we declare to you.
And we write these things to you,
that our joy may be fulfilled.
— 1 John 1:1, 3-4†
Invitatory
See how good and how pleasant it is
for brothers to live in unity!
It is like the precious oil on the head,
that ran down on the beard,
even Aaron’s beard,
that came down on the edge of his robes,
like the dew of Hermon,
that comes down on the hills of Zion;
for there the Lord gives the blessing,
even life forever more.
— Psalm 133
Cruciform
The Lord breathed on them, saying:
“Peace be with you.
As the Father sent me, so I send you.
Receive the Holy Spirit!
If you forgive the sins of any,
they are forgiven.”
— John 20:21-23†

“Reach here your finger and see my hands.
Do not doubt but believe.”
&&— John 20:27 (WEB & NRSV)
Following the seventh bead:
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Dimissory
Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you.
For behold, darkness covers the land;
deep gloom enshrouds the peoples.
But over you the Lord will rise,
and his glory will appear upon you.
Nations will stream to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawning.
Your gates will always be open;
by day or night they will never be shut.
They will call you, The City of the Lord,
The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Violence will no more be heard in your land,
ruin or destruction within your borders.
You will call your walls, Salvation,
and all your portals, Praise.
The sun will no more be your light by day;
by night you will not need the brightness of the moon.
The Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
— Surge illuminare, Isaiah 60:1-3, 11a, 14c, 18-19, from BCP1979
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
