Processional Hymn: 153 & 154 (Easter Hymn)

Station at the Resurrection Window

V/ Tell it out among the heathen:
R/ That the Lord reigneth from the tree. Alleluia!

Lesson: Praise beto the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who in His great mercy gave us a new birth into a living hope by the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! The inheritance to which we are born is one that nothing can destroy or spoil or wither. It iskept for you in heaven, and you, because you put your faith in God, are under the protection of His power until salvation comes-the salvation which is even now in readiness and will be revealed at the end of time. (1 Peter 1: vs. 3-5)

Let us pray
All-powerful and ever-living God, grant to us thy servants that we may with pure hearts and minds enter into the mysteries of the Paschal Feast; and, being risen with Christ, may rejoice in the glory of them that are born again. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Station at the Rood Screen

V/To this end Christ died and rose again;
R/ That He might be the Lord of the dead and the living.

Lesson: This perishable being must be clothed with the imperishable, and what is mortal must be clothed with immortality. And when our mortality has been clothed with immortality, then the saying of Scripture will come true: “Death is swallowed up; victory is won!” (1 Corinthians XV vs. 53-55)

Let us pray
O God who for our redemption gave thine only-begotten Son to the death of the Cross, and by His glorious Resurrection has delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily unto sin, that we may evermore live with Him in the joy of His Resurrection. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE COLLECT. p. 182

ALMIGHTY God, who through thine only begotten Son Jesus Christ hast overcome death, and opened unto us the gate of everlasting life: We humbly beseech thee, that as by thy special grace thou dost put into our minds good desires, so by thy continual help we may bring the same to good effect; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

THE EPISTLE. Colossians 3. 1. p. 182

IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things; for you have died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, shall be made manifest, then shall you also be made manifest with him in glory. Mortify, therefore, your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness which is idolatry; because of which cometh the wrath of God; in which you once walked yourselves when you lived in such things. But now you must put it all off: wrath, anger, malice, slander, and filthy talk out of your mouth; lie not to one another; cast off the old self with its evil deeds, and put on the new, which is being refashioned unto knowledge according to the image of its creator; in whom there is neither Greek nor Jew, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision, barbarian or Scythian, bond or free, but Christ is all in all.

The Easter Anthems p. 182

CHRIST our passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast;
Not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness; / but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
1 Corinthians 5. 7.

Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; / death hath no more dominion over him.
For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.
Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, / but alive unto God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 6. 9.

Christ is risen from the dead, / and become the first-fruits of them that slept.
For since by man came death, / by man came also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, / even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
1 Corinthians 15. 20.

GLORY be to the Father, and to the Son, / and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, / world without end. Amen.

THE GOSPEL. St John 20. 1. p. 183

THE first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. Then she runneth and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. So they ran both together; and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre; and he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying; yet went he not in. Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen cloths lie; and the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then went in also that other disciple which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
