O God, who for our redemption gave your
only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious
resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to
die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his
resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

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 worship 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.

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.
