Eternal
God, through your awesome life-giving power, you gave your Son the victory
over sin and death. In
our celebration this Easter Season, may your Holy Spirit be with us so
that we can better appreciate the wonder of what you have done for us. You
have given us new life in baptism; may our hearts accept all the faith,
hope and love you long to give your children. Deepen our bonds with one
another as with you as we
sing in joyful praise and thanksgiving Amen. |

It
is only right, with all the powers of our heart and mind, to praise You
Father and Your Only-Begotten Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ. Dear
Father, by your wondrous Loving-Kindness toward us, your servants, you
gave up Your Son. Dear
Jesus you paid the debt of Adam for us to the Eternal Father by Your Blood
poured forth in loving-kindness. You cleared away the darkness of sin by
your magnificent and radiant Resurrection. You broke the bonds of death
and rose from the grave as a Conqueror. You reconciled heaven and earth.
Our life had no hope of eternal happiness before you redeemed us. Your
resurrection has washed away our sins, restored our innocence and brought
us joy. How infinite is the tenderness of your love! We
pray to You, Lord, please preserve us in the peaceful satisfaction of this
Easter happiness and hear our prayers... Silent
