 Easter Day

O God, who for our redemption gave your only&#8209;begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection  delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die  daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of  his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,  who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,  now and for ever. Amen.

O God, who made this most holy night to shine with the glory of the Lord’s resurrection: Stir up in your Church that  Spirit of adoption which is given to us in Baptism, that we,  being renewed both in body and mind, may worship you in  sincerity and truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives  and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,  now and for ever. Amen.

Almighty God, who through your only&#8209;begotten Son Jesus Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of  everlasting life: Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the  day of the Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death  of sin by your life&#8209;giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our  Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one  God, now and for ever. Amen.
