Easter: Resurrection Morning!

Christ is risen: alleluia! alleluia!
Christos aneste: alleluia! alleluia!

You have risen, O Christ!
Let the gospel trumpets speak,
and the news, as of holy fire,
burning and flaming and inextinguishable,
run to the ends of the earth!

You have risen, O Christ!
Let all creation greet the good news with jubilant shout,
for its redemption has come, the long night is past,
the Saviour lives, and rides and reigns in triumph,
now and to the ages of ages.

Blessed are you, God of love and glory,
you gave us your very self in Jesus.
By your great mercy we have been born anew to a living hope
by the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

--Jim Cotter in Prayer at Day's Dawning
