Sing, choirs of angels! <br /> <br /> Exult, all creation around God's throne! <br /> <br /> Jesus Christ, our King, is risen! <br /> <br /> Sound the trumpet of salvation! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Rejoice, O earth, in shining splendor, <br /> <br /> radiant in the brightness of your King! <br /> <br /> Christ has conquered! Glory fills you! <br /> <br /> Darkness vanishes for ever! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Rejoice, O Mother Church! Exult in glory!<br /> <br /> The risen Savior shines upon you! <br /> <br /> Let this place resound with joy,<br /> <br /> echoing the mighty song of all God's people! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [My dearest friends, standing with me in this holy light, <br /> <br /> join me in asking God for mercy, <br /> <br /> that he may give his unworthy minister <br /> <br /> grace to sing his Easter praises.] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [V. The Lord be with you.<br /> <br /> R. And also with you.] <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> V. Lift up your hearts.<br /> <br /> R. We lift them up to the Lord.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> V. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.<br /> <br /> R. It is right to give him thanks and praise. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> It is truly right<br /> <br /> that with full hearts and minds and voices<br /> <br /> we should praise the unseen God, the all-powerful Father, <br /> <br /> and his only Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> For Christ has ransomed us with his blood, <br /> <br /> and paid for us the price of Adam's sin <br /> <br /> to our eternal Father! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This is our passover feast,<br /> <br /> when Christ, the true Lamb, is slain,<br /> <br /> whose blood consecrates the homes of all believers. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This is the night when first you saved our fathers: <br /> <br /> you freed the people of Israel from their slavery <br /> <br /> and led them dry-shod through the sea. <br /> <br /> This is the night when the pillar of fire <br /> <br /> destroyed the darkness of sin! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This is the night when Christians everywhere,<br /> <br /> washed clean of sin<br /> <br /> and freed from all defilement,<br /> <br /> are restored to grace and grow together in holiness. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> This is the night when Jesus Christ <br /> <br /> broke the chains of death<br /> <br /> and rose triumphant from the grave. <br /> <br /> What good would life have been to us,<br /> <br /> had Christ not come as our Redeemer? <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Father, how wonderful your care for us! <br /> <br /> How boundless your merciful love! <br /> <br /> To ransom a slave <br /> <br /> you gave away your Son. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam, <br /> <br /> which gained for us so great a Redeemer! <br /> <br /> Most blessed of all nights, chosen by God <br /> <br /> to see Christ rising from the dead! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Of this night scripture says:<br /> <br /> &quot;The night will be as clear as day: <br /> <br /> it will become my light, my joy.&quot; <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> The power of this holy night<br /> <br /> dispels all evil, washes guilt away,<br /> <br /> restores lost innocence, brings mourners joy;<br /> <br /> it casts out hatred, brings us peace, and humbles earthly <br /> <br /> pride. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Night truly blessed when heaven is wedded to earth <br /> <br /> and man is reconciled with God! <br /> <br /> Therefore, heavenly Father, in the joy of this night, <br /> <br /> receive our evening sacrifice of praise, <br /> <br /> your Church's solemn offering. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Accept this Easter candle,<br /> <br /> a flame divided but undimmed,<br /> <br /> a pillar of fire that glows to the honor of God. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Let it mingle with the lights of heaven <br /> <br /> and continue bravely burning<br /> <br /> to dispel the darkness of this night! <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> May the morning Star which never sets find this flame <br /> <br /> still burning:<br /> <br /> Christ, that Morning Star, who came back from the dead,<br /> <br /> and shed his peaceful light on all mankind,<br /> <br /> your Son who lives and reigns for ever and ever.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> R. Amen.</div>
