The Gathering Hymn
“Jesus Christ is Risen Today”
Hymn 207
It seems likely that
Hymn 207, a beloved
Easter text, began
in Latin and moved
through German before
reaching English, where
it combined with the
present tune in the
emerging English evangelical style, a reaction
to the restrained onenote-per-syllable psalmody that preceded it.
Today’s Teachings:
On this day the Lord
has acted! On the first
day of the week God began creation, transforming darkness into light.
On this, the “eighth
day” of the week, Jesus
Christ was raised from
the dead. We celebrate
this new creation in the
waters of baptism and in
the feast of victory. With
great joy we celebrate
the days of days, even as
we begin the great fifty
days of Easter. Filled
with hope, we go forth
to share the news that
Christ is risen!
The Acclamation
Priest
Alleluia, Christ is risen.
People
The Lord is risen indeed, Alleluia.
Collect for Purity
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are
hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may
perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

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 First Lesson: Acts 10:34-43
Peter began to speak to Cornelius and the other Gentiles: “I truly understand that God
shows no partiality, but in every nation anyone who fears him 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.”
Lector
People
Peter’s sermon,
delivered at the home
of Cornelius, a Roman
army officer, sums up
the essential message of
Christianity. Everyone
who believes in Jesus,
whose life, death, and
resurrection fulfilled the
words of the prophets,
receives forgiveness of
sins through his name.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Silence for reflection.
Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24
Congregation and Choir, seated. The antiphon will be intoned by a cantor and repeated by all
and as indicated. All will sing the verses to the psalm tone.
Psalm 118 is a psalm
of thanksgiving that
features two primary
emphases: a grand
testimony regarding the
deliverance of God and
a strong vow to praise
and confess God in
worship.
1.
Give thanks to the Lord, for the Lord is good;
God’s mercy endures for-ever.
2.
14.
Let Israel now de-clare,
“God’s mercy endures for-ever.
The Lord is my strength and my song,
and has become my sal-vation.
15.
Shouts of rejoicing and salvation echo in the tents of the righteous:
“The right hand of the Lord acts valiantly!
16.
The right hand of the Lord is ex-alted!
The right hand of the Lord acts valiantly!”
†
3
Psalm continues on next page.
Easter means new
life for us as it first
meant new life for
Christ. His resurrection
reshapes the entire focus
and motivation for our
lives, since we are now
hidden with the risen
Christ in God.
17.
I shall not die, but live,
and declare the works of the Lord. (Antiphon)
18.
The Lord indeed punished me sorely,
but did not hand me over to death.
19.
Open for me the gates of righteousness:
I will enter them and give thanks to the Lord.
20.
“This is the gate of the Lord;
here the righteous may enter.”
21.
I give thanks to you, for you have answered me
and you have become my sal-vation. (Antiphon)
22.
The stone that the builders re-jected
has become the chief corner-stone.
23.
By the Lord has this been done;
it is marvelous in our eyes.
(Last half of psalm tone.)
24.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad in it. (Antiphon)
The Second Lesson: Colossians 3:1-4
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.

This text and tune of
Hymn 178 were created
together in the context of an ecumenical,
charismatic, missionary
Christian community
in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Their energy and
emphasis center in the
opening and closing
refrain’s “Alleluia”—the
essential Easter word of
proclamation.

The Holy Gospel: Matthew 28:1-10
Priest The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew.
People
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
4
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 worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell
my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”

The Sermon
The Rev. Derrick Hill
Silence for reflection.
All stand.
The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
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.

Sorrow gives way to
“fear and great joy”
when two women are
sent by an angel to
proclaim the good news:
Jesus is risen!
Prayers of the People
Rejoicing in the risen life of Christ, let us pray for the church, the world, and all who are in
need.
A brief silence.
We pray for the church. Unite all Christians in our shared calling to proclaim the gospel.
Raise up women and men to serve as faithful leaders. Make us bold witnesses to the resurrection. Lord, in your mercy,

animals from the damage of excessive heat or cold, drought or flooding, windstorm or hail.

safety. Bolster the courage of those who put themselves in danger to preserve the lives of
others. Lord, in your mercy,

who seek to know your love, and all who come to your holy table. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.
Here other intercessions may be offered.
With thanksgiving, we remember those who have died and all who yearn for the fulfillment
of your Easter promise of resurrection and life. Lord, in your mercy,
hear our prayer.

The Holy Communion
Offertory
“Lights Glittering Morn Bedecks the Sky”
Horatio W. Parker
St. Timothy’s Festival Choir; Bob McKenzie, baritone;
Sue Ann Reinisch, Evie Durant, Rodney VanValkenburg, EJ Laird, quartet
Light’s glittering morn bedecks the sky; heaven thunders forth its victor cry; The
glad earth shouts her triumph high, and groaning hell makes wild reply: while He
the King, the mighty King, despoiling death of all its sting, and trampling down the
pow’rs of might, brings forth His ransomed Saints to light. That Eastertide with joy
was bright, the sun shone out with fairer light, when, to their longing eyes restored,
th’Apostles saw their risen Lord: He bade them see his hands, his side, where yet the
glorious wounds abide; the tokens true which made it plain their Lord indeed was
risen again. O Jesu, King of gentleness, do thou thyself our hearts possess; that we
may give thee all our days, the tribute of our grateful praise. O Lord of all with us
abide, in this our joyful Eastertide; From ev’ry weapon death can wield, thine own
redeemed for ever shield. The strife is o’er, the battle done, the victory of life is won,
the song of triumph has begun. Alleluia. All praise be thine, O risen Lord, from death
to endless life restored, all praise to God the Father be and Holy Ghost eternally.
Alleluia.
All stand.
The Presentation Hymn “Amen”
Sung by all, repeating until the censing of the altar is complete.
arr. Horace Clarence Boyer
Incense gathers the
people together as their
prayers rise to God like
smoke rising before us.
The thurifer, bearing
the incense, bows to the
people to invite them
into this gathering. All
standing, the people
bow in acceptance.
After the thurifer
censes the people and
bows again, the people
respond with a bow of
thanks.

And also with you.
Priest
Lift up your hearts.
People
We lift them to the Lord.
Priest
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People
It is right to give God thanks and praise.
Priest
It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to
you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. But chiefly are we bound to
praise you for the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; for
he is the true Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us, and has taken away the
sin of the world. By his death he has destroyed death, and by his rising to life
again he has won for us everlasting life. Therefore we praise you, joining our
voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who
for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:
Sanctus

Richard Proulx
The people stand or kneel.
Priest
We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made
known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word
spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your
Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us
from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought
us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.
On the night before he died for us, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when
he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said,
“Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave
it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for all for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever
you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore according to his command, O Father,
All
We remember his death,
We proclaim his resurrection,
We await his coming in glory.
Priest
And we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving to you, O Lord of all;
presenting to you, from your creation, this bread and this wine.
We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they
may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant.
Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him,
being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with
Blessed Mary, Blessed John and all your saints, we may enter the everlasting
heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.
By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and
glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever.
People
Amen.
Priest
And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,
The Lords Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

The Breaking of the Bread
“The Disciples Knew the Lord Jesus”

This joyful Easter
hymn brings together many images and
responses evoked by
Christ’s Resurrection.
As the second stanza
affirms, it does turn
mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11), for
this 20th-century text
was written to fit the
rhythms of this 16th-century Italian dance-song.
The closing voluntary
is Bach’s setting of this
tune.
Commissioning of the Eucharistic Visitor
Our Eucharistic Visitors take Holy Communion to those in the parish who are ill or homebound.
ClergyN., we send you forth bearing these gifts of consecrated bread and wine to ...
(names of recipients). May they share with us in the communion of Christ’s
body and blood.
People
As you take this Sacrament of Christ’s presence, you carry the prayers of all of
us. We who are many are one body because we share one bread, one cup.
Post Communion Prayer
Presider Let us pray.
People
Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image and nourishing
us with spiritual food in the Sacrament of Christ’s Body and Blood. Now send
us forth a people, forgiven, healed, renewed; that we may proclaim your love
to the world and continue in the risen life of Christ our Savior. Amen.

The Blessing
May Almighty God, who has redeemed us and made us his children through the resurrection
of his Son our Lord, bestow upon you the riches of his blessing. Amen.
May God, who through the water of baptism has raised us from sin into newness of life,
make you holy and worthy to be united with Christ for ever. Amen.
May God, who has brought us out of bondage to sin into true and lasting freedom in the
Redeemer, bring you to your eternal inheritance. Amen.
And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be upon you and
remain with you for ever. Amen.
Sending Hymn
“Christ Has Arisen, Alleluia!”
The good news of the
Resurrection is retold
in this lively hymn from
Tanzania, blending
20th-century words with
a traditional melody.
In African call-andresponse practice, the
stanzas would ordinarily
be sung by a soloist or
small group and the
refrain by the whole
congregation.
Asperges is a name
given to the rite of
sprinkling a congregation with baptismal
water. It comes from
the first word in the 9th
verse of Psalm 51 in the
Latin translation: “You
will sprinkle me, O
Lord,… and I shall be
cleansed.” Receive the
water in remembrance
of your baptism, and
sing joyfully in thanksgiving for this sacramental gift.
