Voluntary The Gathering

Introit Christopher Tye

Choir “O who shall roll away the stone,” the faithful women said; “the heavy stone that seals the tomb, and shuts from us our dead?” But looking up, at dawn, they saw the great stone rolled away, and from the empty tomb a light more dazzling than the day.

Look up, O doubting soul, look up! Eyes fixed upon the earth can never see the life that finds in death its glorious birth. Look up! and ever looking up, thine eyes shall clearly see the tombs of earth filled with the light of immortality.

Gloria in excelsis Sung in Latin. Jean Langlais Missa in simplicitate

Choir Glory to God in the highest, and peace to God’s people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High, Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

The Collect of the Day

Presider May God be with you. People And also with you. Let us pray.

Almighty God, who through your only-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-giving Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

The Word of God The First Reading The people sit. Acts 10: 34–43

Reader A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

Peter began to speak and said: “I truly understand that God shows no partiality,

but in every nation anyone who fears God and does what is right is acceptable to him. You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ—he is Lord of all. That message spread throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John announced: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power; how he went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him.

We are witnesses to all that he did both in Judea and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree; but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, and who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead. He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one ordained by God as judge of the living and the dead. All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.”

After the reading The Word of the Lord. All Thanks be to God.Psalm 118: 1–2, 14–24 The people remain seated. chant:John Renke

Antiphon On this day the Lord has act-ed; we will re - joice— and be glad in it. Choir The Lord is my strength and my song,

and he has become my salvation. There is a sound of exultation and victory

in the tents of the righteous. All On this day the Lord has acted; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

3

“The right hand of the Lord has triumphed! The right hand of the Lord is exalted; the right hand of the Lord has triumphed!”

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. All On this day the Lord has acted; we will rejoice and be glad in it. The same stone which the builders rejected

has become the chief cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes. All On this day the Lord has acted; we will rejoice and be glad in it.The Second Reading Colossians 3: 1–4

Reader A reading from the Letter to the Colossians.

If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated

at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on

earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.

After the reading The Word of the Lord. All Thanks be to God.Hymn 200 Sung by all, standing. Gaudeamus pariter

The Holy Gospel Matthew 28: 1–10

The choir alone sings the first Alleluia, then the people join in.

Al Choir Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;

People Therefore let us keep the feast. All repeat the three Alleluias.

Before the Gospel The Holy Gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ according to Matthew. All Glory to you, Lord Christ.

After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary Magdalene and the other

Mary went to see the tomb. And suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord, descending from heaven, came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. For fear of him the guards shook and became like dead men.

But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for he has been raised, as he said. Come, see the place where he

lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples, ‘He has been raised from the dead, and indeed he is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see him.’ This is my message for you.”

So they left the tomb quickly with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came to him, took hold of his feet, and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

After the Gospel The Gospel of the Lord. All Praise to you, Lord Christ.The Sermon The people sit. The Right Rev. Dr. Marc Handley Andrus  A period of silence may follow. Bishop of California

The Nicene Creed After the sermon, the people stand.

Presider We believe in one God, All the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Anthem Sung in Latin. William Byrd

Choir Jesus, our redemption, love and desire,God, Creator of all things, becomes man in the fullness of time.What mercy made thee bear our crimes, to suffer a cruel death that we might be saved from death! Descending into Hell’s prison, freeing thy captives, Thy noble triumph won, dwelling at the Father’s right hand. Let pity compel thee to overcome our evils, granting pardon, fulfil and satisfy us with thy face. Be our joy, who will be our future prize; let all our glory be in Thee forever, throughout all ages. – Ascension Hymn

In your most holy name. Amen.
