COLLECT
Lord of all life and power, who
through the mighty resurrection of
your Son overcame the old order of
sin and death to make all things new
in him: grant that we, being dead to
sin and alive to you in Jesus Christ,
may reign with him in glory; to
whom with you and the Holy Spirit
be praise and honour, glory and
might, now and in all eternity.
GATHERING:
“See, what a morning,
gloriously bright,
With the dawning of hope
in Jerusalem;
Folded the grave-clothes,
tomb filled with light,
As the angels announce,
“Christ is risen!”
See God’s salvation plan,
Wrought in love, borne in pain,
paid in sacrifice,
Fulfilled in Christ, the Man,
For He lives:
Christ is risen from the dead!
See Mary weeping,
“Where is He laid?”
As in sorrow
she turns from the empty tomb;
Hears a voice speaking,
calling her name;
It’s the Master,
the Lord raised to life again!
The voice that spans the years,
Speaking life, stirring hope,
bringing peace to us,
Will sound till He appears,
For He lives:
Christ is risen from the dead!
One with the Father,
Ancient of Days,
Through the Spirit
who clothes faith with certainty.
Honour and blessing,
glory and praise
To the King crowned
with pow’r and authority!
And we are raised with Him,
Death is dead, love has won,
Christ has conquered;
And we shall reign with Him,
For He lives:
Christ is risen from the dead!

FIRST READING
The First reading is from the
book of Acts.
Peter addressed Cornelius and
his household: ‘You must have
heard about the recent
happenings in Judaea; about
Jesus of Nazareth and how he
began in Galilee, after John had
been preaching baptism. God had
anointed him with the Holy
Spirit and with power, and
because God was with him, Jesus
went about doing good and
curing all who had fallen into the
power of the devil. Now I, and
those with me, can witness to
everything he did throughout the
countryside of Judaea and in
Jerusalem itself: and also to the
fact that they killed him by
hanging him on a tree, yet three
days afterwards God raised him
to life and allowed him to be
seen, not by the whole people
but only by certain witnesses
God had chosen beforehand.
Now we are those witnesses –
we have eaten and drunk with
him after his resurrection from
the dead – and he has ordered
us to proclaim this to his people
and to tell them that God has
appointed him to judge
everyone, alive or dead. It is to
him that all the prophets bear
this witness: that all who believe
in Jesus will have their sins
forgiven through his name.’
This is the word of the Lord.
Acts 10

GOSPEL
A reading from the Holy Gospel
according to St John.
Early on the first day of the
week, while it was still dark,
Mary Magdalene came to the
tomb and saw that the stone had
been removed from the tomb. So
she ran and went to Simon Peter
and the other disciple, the one
whom Jesus loved, and said to
them, ‘They have taken the Lord
out of the tomb, and we do not
know where they have laid him.’
