The ExsultetRejoice now, heavenly hosts and choirs of angels,and let your trumpets shout Salvationfor the victory of our mighty King.

Rejoice and sing now, all the round earth,bright with a glorious splendor,for darkness has been vanquished by our eternal King.

Rejoice and be glad now, Mother Church,and let your holy courts, in radiant light,resound with the praises of your people.

All you who stand near this marvelous and holy flame,pray with me to God the Almightyfor the grace to sing the worthy praise of this great light;through Jesus Christ his Son our Lord,who lives and reigns with him,in the unity of the Holy Spirit,one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Word of GodFirst Lesson • The Story of Creation

In the beginning, on the first day, God created the heavens and the earth. God said, “Let there be light” and there was light. And God saw that it was good. Blessed be the God of Light.In the beginning, on the second day, God created a dome to separate the waters from the waters. God called the dome sky, and saw that it was good. Blessed be the God of Waters and Sky.In the beginning, on the third day, God gathered the waters together and let dry land appear. God spoke, and the earth brought forth every color of green, and God saw that it was good. Blessed be the God of Green-Brown Earth. In the beginning, on the fourth day, God created the sun, the moon and the stars to separate the day from the night, to mark the seasons. And God saw that it was good. Blessed be the God of the Heavens and of Time.

This is the night, when all who believe in Christ are deliveredfrom the gloom of sin, and are restored to grace and holiness of life.

This is the night, when Christ broke the bonds of death and hell,and rose victorious from the grave.

How wonderful and beyond our knowing, O God, is yourmercy and loving kindness to us, that to redeem a slave, you gave a Son.

How holy is this night, when wickedness is put to flight, and sin iswashed away. It restores innocence to the fallen, and joy to those whomourn. It casts out pride and hatred, and brings peace and concord.

How blessed is this night, when earth and heaven are joinedand man is reconciled to God.

Holy Father, accept our evening sacrifice, the offering of thiscandle in your honor. May it shine continually to drive awayall darkness. May Christ, the Morning Star who knows nosetting, find it ever burning—he who gives his light to allcreation, and who lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Amen.

• the congregation’s candles may now be extinguished• the Bishop invites the people to hear the record of God’s saving deeds

In the beginning, on the fifth day, God created all the living creatures of the sea and the sky and blessed them, and called them good. Blessed be the God of Wing and Flight, of Soaring and Swimming.In the beginning, on the sixth day, God created the animals of the earth, and made humankind in the image of God, and God saw that it was good. Blessed be the God of our Hearts, the God of Flesh and Souls and Loving.In the beginning, on the seventh day, God created rest, and entered into rest from all the work that had been done. And God saw that it was very, very good, indeed. Blessed be the God of Holy Rest and Play.

The Word of the LordThanks be to God

Second Lesson • Abraham’s Binding of Isaac Genesis 22:1-18

After these things God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains that I shall show you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning, saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and his son Isaac; he cut the wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place in the distance that God had shown him. On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place far away. Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the boy and I will go over there; we will worship, and then we will come back to you.” Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. Isaac said to his father Abraham, “Father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” He said, “The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” Abraham said, “God himself will provide the lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together. When they came to the place that God had shown him, Abraham built an

altar there and laid the wood in order. He bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. Then Abraham reached out his hand and took the knife to kill his son. But the angel of the LORD called to him from heaven, and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” He said, “Do not lay your hand on the boy or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me.” And Abraham looked up and saw a ram, caught in a thicket by its horns. Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering instead of his son. So Abraham called that place “The LORD will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.” The angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven, and said, “By myself I have sworn, says the LORD: Because you have done this, and have not withheld your son, your only son, I will indeed bless you, and I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of their enemies, and by your offspring shall all the nations of the earth gain blessing for themselves, because you have obeyed my voice.”

Third Lesson • Israel’s deliverance at the Red Sea

Canticle S A Song of Our True Nature • sung by all George Emblom

*Christ revealed our frailty / and our failling, our trespasses and our humil / iations.Christ also revealed his / blessed power, his blessed wis / dom and love.He protects us as tenderly and as sweetly when we are in / greatest need; he raises us in spirit and turns everything to glory and joy with / out ending.God is the ground and the substance, the very es / sence of nature; God is the true father and mo / ther of natures.We are all bound to / God by nature, and we are all bound to / God by grace.And this grace is for / all the world, because it is our precious mo / ther, Christ.For this fair nature was pre / pared by Christ for the honor and nobility of all, and for the joy and bliss / of salvation.

*

CollectGod and Father of all believers, for the glory of your Name multiply, by the grace of the Paschal sacrament, the number of your children; that your Church may rejoice to see fulfilled your promise to our father Abraham; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Why is this night different from all other nights? This is the Passover of the Lord, when God led us our of slavery in Egypt, through the Red Sea, onto dry ground. We remember . . .how we were slaves for four hundred years in Egypt, where we were treated harshly.

We cried out to the Lord and he heard us, and sent our Father Moses to deliver us!God said to Moses “Tell old Pharaoh . . . Let my people go!”

I was afraid. I didn’t know how to speak to Pharaoh. and how to prove God had sent me. So God sent plagues upon the Egyptians to make his point! There were frogs, and lice, and flies. There were boils, and hail, and locusts, and there was a darkness so heavy it could be felt!

Page 7: Christ Church Cathedral, Louisville; Bulletin for the Great Vigil of Easter

Then came the worst and saddest plague of all, the death of every firstborn in all of Egypt land. God said”Have the people eat their last meal in Egypt. Tell them to take one lamb for every family and roast it, and eat it in haste. We ate it with unleavened bread and bitter herbs, with our sandals on our feet and our walking sticks in our hands. We remeber . . .

how we took the blood of the lamb and smeared it on our doorposts, so the angel of death would pass over our homes. And then we rose up and left the land of our oppression! We left so quickly . . . our dough was still rising, our kneading bowls were wrapped on our shoulders, our sleeping children were nestled in our arms! We remember . . .

how happy we were . . . until we came to the shores of the sea! And then, of course, we forgot how God had brought us this far, and we began to weep, and wail, and whine! We said . . . Were there no graves in Egypt, Moses, that you brough us out here to die? We should never have left! Better to live as slaves than to die in freedom!

Imagine being so afraid that you’d rather be slaves to, well, anything, no matter how bad it is! But God said: “Moses! Tell the people, “Do not be afraid! Stand firm! For you will never see these Egyptians again. The Lord will fight for you and you have only to stand firm!” “Lift up your staff, Moses, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, and the Israelites will go through on dry ground!” The Lord drove back the sea with a strong east wind that blew all night, and truned the sea to dry land! We remember . . .

how the pillar of cloud went before us and behind us, and when Pharaoh’s army came after us, at the morning watch, the Lord looked down and threw them into panic! God said: ”Moses, stretch our your hand again so the waters of the sea may return to their place.” So I did, and Pharaoh’s army was drowned in the sea. Then we feared the Lord, and believed in his servant Moses!

And when we came safely to the shore, we remember how our mothers danced and sang, all through the night . . . because God had brought us our of slavery and led us through the sea, to bring us home to the land of promise.

It is the Passover of the Lord . . . and we remember!

CollectO God, whose wonderful deeds of old shine forth even to our own day, you once delivered by the power of your mighty arm your chosen people from slavery under Pharaoh, to be a sign for us of the salvation of all nations by the water of Baptism: Grant that all the peoples of the earth may be num-bered among the offspring of Abraham, and rejoice in the inheritance of Israel; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord, sang to the Lord:

• refrain is sung by the cantor/choir, then by all

I will sing to the Lord, for God is gloriously triumphant: horse and chariot God has cast into the sea! The Lord is my strength, my song and my salvation. This is my God, I sing praise. The God of our fathers glorious in triumph: Adonai is the Lord.refrainThe chariots of Pharaoh were cast into the sea, the strongest of Egypt lost and drowned in raging sea. The water closed in, they sank like stone. Your right hand, O Lord, glorious in power has saved us from the foe.refrain

Exodus Canticle Richard Proulx

Fourth Lesson • Salvation offered freely to all Isaiah 55:1-11

Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters;and you that have no money, come, buy and eat!Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which does not satisfy?Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food.

Page 9: Christ Church Cathedral, Louisville; Bulletin for the Great Vigil of Easter

Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live.I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. See, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not know you shall run to you,because of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.

Seek the Lord while he may be found, call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake their way, and the unrighteous their thoughts;let them return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on them, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth,making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty,but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

The Word of the LordThanks be to God

The Word of GodCollect for the Feast of the Resurrection

Lesson Romans 6:3-11Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin

might be destroyed, and we might no longer be enslaved to sin. For whoever has died is freed from sin. But if we have died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him. The death he died, he died to sin, once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God. So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

The Word of the LordThanks be to God

Psalm 114 • sung by the choir George Mursell Garrett

Hallelujah!When Israel came out of Egypt, * the house of Jacob from a people of strange speech,Judah became God’s sanctuary * and Israel his dominion.The sea beheld it and fled; * Jordan turned and went back.The mountains skipped like rams, * and the little hills like young sheep.What ailed you, O sea, that you fled? * O Jordan, that you turned back?

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 wor-ship 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

Sermon The Right Reverend Terry Allen White

Gospel Mark 16:1-8

When the sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint Jesus. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. They had been saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” When they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had already been rolled back. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man, dressed in a white robe,

sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed. But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed; you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has been raised; he is not here. Look, there is the place they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him, just as he told you.” So they went out and fled from the tomb, for terror and amazement had seized them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

You mountains, that you skipped like rams? * you little hills like young sheep?Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, * at the presence of the God of Jacob,Who turned the hard rock into a pool of water * and flint stone into a flowing spring.
