O Lord, open my lips. And my mouth will proclaim your praise.

Hymn: The Lamb's high banquet we await

Psalm 1 · Psalm 2 · Psalm 3 (Easter antiphon: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.)

From the first Letter to the Corinthians (5:7-8; 15:20-22): Cleanse out the old leaven that you may be a new lump, as you really are unleavened.

Christ, our paschal lamb, has been sacrificed. Alleluia, alleluia.

Te Deum laudamus.

For the Church throughout the world: that we may proclaim the resurrection in word and deed.

Almighty ever-living God, who on this day, through your Only Begotten Son, have conquered death and unlocked for us the path to eternity, grant, we pray, that we who keep the solemnity of the Lord's Resurrection may, through the renewal brought by your Spirit, rise up in the light of life. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son.
