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.
O Lord, show us your mercy;
and grant us your salvation.
Clothe your ministers with righteousness;
Let your people sing with joy.
Give peace, O Lord, in all the world;
for only in you can we dwell in safety.
Lord, keep this nation under your care;
and guide us in the way of justice and truth.
Let your way be known upon earth;
your saving health among all nations.
Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten;
nor the hope of the poor be taken away.
Create in us clean hearts, O God;
and sustain us with your Holy Spirit.

Invitatory
Sing to the Lord a new song,
for he has done marvellous things!
His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.
The Lord has made known his salvation.
He has shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
He has remembered his loving kindness
and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!
Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!
Sing praises to the Lord with the harp,
with the harp and the voice of melody.
With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn,
make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.
Let the sea roar with its fullness;
the world, and those who dwell therein.
Let the rivers clap their hands.
Let the mountains sing for joy together.
Let them sing before the Lord,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and the peoples with equity.
— Psalm 98
Cruciform
Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God.
Whoever loves the Father, also loves the child.
By this we know that we love the children of God,
when we love God and keep his commandments.
For this is loving God, that we keep his commandments.
His commandments are not grievous.
— 1 John 5:1-3

You did not choose me but I chose you.
And I appointed you to go and bear fruit —
fruit that will last.

As the Father has loved me,
I also have loved you.
Abide in my love.
If you keep my commandments,
you will abide in my love;
even as I have kept my Father’s commandments,
and abide in his love.
I have spoken these things to you,
that my joy may remain in you,
and your joy may be fulfilled.
