O Heavenly Father, who hast delivered us from the dominion of sin and death, and hast brought us into the kingdom of thy Son: Grant, we beseech thee, that as by his death he hath recalled us to life, so by his love he may raise us to eternal joys; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

But chiefly are we bound to praise thee for the glorious Resurrection of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord: for he is the very Paschal Lamb, which was offered for us, and hath taken away the sin of the world; who by his death hath destroyed death, and by his rising to life again hath restored to us everlasting life.
