Christ Our Passover

From the Book of Divine Worship - The Daily Office - Daily Morning Prayer - Rite Two

1 Cor. 5:7-8; Rom. 6:9-11; 1 Cor. 15:20-22

Christ Our Passover

Alleluia.

Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us; *
therefore let us keep the feast,

Not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, *
but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Alleluia.

Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; *
death no longer has dominion over him.

The death that he died, he died to sin, once for all; *
but the life he lives, he lives to God.

So also consider yourselves dead to sin, *
and alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Alleluia.

Christ has been raised from the dead, *
the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.

For since by a man came death, *
by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, *
so also in Christ shall all be made alive.
Alleluia.

Then follows:

The Psalm or Psalms Appointed

At the end of the Psalms is sung or said:

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

* An asterisk divides a verse of a Psalm in two portions for responsive reading
