Almighty God, we all praise You this blessed Easter morning in the spirit of wonder and joy! For You have deprived the grave of its victory, and have taken the sting out of death!
May we never again think or act as if Your only begotten Son were dead, but let us come to know Him as the eternally Living Lord, who promises to them that believe: Because I live, you shall live also ! For our hope is complete this day, as You have put even our Last enemy- death- under Your feet;

Thanks be to You, O God,

We have come again to an empty tomb! For we are truly a Resurrection People!
For we have passed out of death, into Life !

Who gives us the victory through our risen Lord, Jesus Christ! Hallelujah! Amen! *HYMN #295G Jesus Christ is Risen Today vss. 1, 4 *AFFIRMATION of FAITH- Apostles Creed
