O God, Creator of heaven and earth: Grant that, as the crucified body of your dear Son was laid in the tomb and  rested on this holy Sabbath, so we may await with him the  coming of the third day, and rise with him to newness of  life; who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,  one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
