Hymn for Easter Mornings

Our Justice, Christ, resplendent sun, from prison tomb bursts forth in light;

within us joy and gladness dance for Christ is risen in his might.

From death to life we have been raised, from earth to heaven we are led;

for Christ our resurrection joy is truly risen from the dead.

Let all the heavens burst with joy, let all the earth with song resound!

Let all creation join the dance for Christ is risen, death is bound!

Come share the endless reign of Christ; the hallowed chosen day has come!

Drink freely of the fresh new wine; there’s joy enough for everyone!

O Abba, Word and Spirit–spring in Whom we have been born anew,

our Earth is filled with Paschal light; ours is the joy in praising you. Amen.

Psalm 22/23

You, O LOVE, are my shepherd,

There is nothing more I need.

Fresh and green are the pastures,

Where you take me to rest;

Leading me near calming waters

You renew my drooping spirit.

You guide me in the path of goodness,

Always true to your Loving-kindness.

If I walk in the valley of death’s darkness

No evil would I fear

You are there with your shepherd’s staff

To strengthen, guide and give comfort.

You spread a feast before me

In the presence of all that I fear,

You soothe my head with oil;

My cup is more than full.

Your goodness and love will tend me

All the days of my life.

I will dwell in the Heart of your Love

For ever and ever.

Glory to the ONE and to the WORD

and to the BREATH of Love.

As always before

so now and evermore. Amen.

Our Redeemer has risen from the tomb;

let us sing a hymn of praise and exalt Adonai forever. Alleluia!

Blessed be the God and Abba of our Love, Jesus Christ! With such great mercy God has given us a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept ready for all who are being protected by the power of God’s love through faith in the salvation to be revealed in the final age.

Canticle of Zachariah

Antiphon

Alleluia! Mary Magdalene and the other Mary

went to see the tomb of Jesus! Alleluia! Alleluia!

Blessed + be Adonai, the God of Israel,

Who visits this people to set us free

Raising for us a sign of salvation

In the house and family of David.

God promised throughout past ages

In words of holy prophets

To save us from our enemies,

And from the control of our oppressors.

Adonai favored our ancestors

And remembered the sacred covenant.

The pledge to Abraham and Sarah

Is now renewed for us;

That freed from the grip of our foes

We might worship without fear

And be both just and holy

For the rest of our days.

And you, child, called “prophet of the Most High,”

Will go ahead to prepare the way,

By teaching this people of salvation

Through forgiveness of their sins.

For the loving compassion of the Holy One

As the Rising Sun will shine upon us

To illumine the darkness and dispel death’s shadow

To guide our feet on the way of peace.

Glory to the ONE and to the WORD

And to the BREATH of Love!

As always before,

so now and evermore. Amen

Alleluia! Mary Magdalene and the other Mary

went to see the tomb of Jesus! Alleluia! Alleluia!
