The Lord be with you.  And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.  We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give him thanks and praise.

We praise you with greater joy than ever in this Easter season,
when Christ became our paschal sacrifice.

He has made us children of the light,
rising to new and everlasting life.
He has opened the gates of heaven
to receive his faithful people.
His death is our ransom from death;
his resurrection is our rising to life.

The joy of the resurrection renews the whole world,
while the choirs of heaven sing for ever to your glory.
