 Know this: The Lord himself is God; *
 * he himself has made us, and we are his;
 * we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise; *
 * give thanks to him and call upon his Name.

For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; *
 * and his faithfulness endures from age to age.

Christ our Passover  Pascha nostrum

Alleluia. Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us; *
 * therefore let us keep the feast,

Not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, *
 * but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Alleluia.

Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; *
 * death no longer has dominion over him.

The death that he died, he died to sin, once for all; *
 * but the life he lives, he lives to God.

So also consider yourselves dead to sin, *
 * and alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.  Alleluia.

Christ has been raised from the dead, *
 * the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

For since by a man came death, *
 * by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, *
 * so also in Christ shall all be made alive.  Alleluia.
