EASTER SUNDAY: Christus Resurrexit! Alleluia!

 EASTER SUNDAY:




Christus resurrexit! Alleluia!
Resurrexit vere, Alleluia, Alleluia!
The Lord has risen, Alleluia!
He has risen indeed, Alleluia, Alleluia!
“The Lord calls all those He has redeemed to sing a hymn of victory.”
(St Athanasius).
Psalm 99
Cry out with joy to the Lord, all the earth.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
Come before Him, singing for joy.
Know that He, the Lord, is God.
He made us, we belong to Him,
We are His people, the sheep of His flock.
Go within His gates, giving thanks.
Enter His courts with songs of praise.
Give thanks to Him and bless His name.
Indeed, how good is the Lord,
Eternal His merciful love.
He is faithful from age to age.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
And to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning,
Is now, and ever shall be,
World without end.
Amen.
The Lord has truly risen, Alleluia!
