Easter
Christ is now risen again
From his death and all his pain:
Therefore will we merry be,
And rejoice with him gladly.
Kyrie eleison.
Had he not risen again,
We had been lost, this is plain:
But since he is risen in deed,
Let us love him all with speed.
Kyrie eleison.
Now is a time of gladness,
To sing of the Lord's goodness:
Therefore glad now will we be,
And rejoice in him only.
Kyrie eleison.
Miles Coverdale
Risen Lord,
in bursting from the tomb
you have broken the power of death
and we see there is no darkness
that can overcome your love.
Breathe into our lives
the wonder of your saving glory,
that our song may ever be
your alleluia. Amen.
Ian Black, Prayers for all Occasions.
God Almighty, we praise your holy name in this joyful Eastertide. We thank you, Lord, because through your death and resurrection we have won the victory and your redeeming grace and love. Loving Father God, fill us with new life so that we may love one another and do what you want us to do in sharing your love with those who don't know you. In Jesus' name we pray.
