1st Reading: A reading from the Acts of the Apostles 10:34, 37-43
We have eaten and drunk with him after the resurrection.
Peter addressed Cornelius and his household: ‘You must have heard about the recent happenings in Judea; about Jesus of Nazareth and how he begun in Galilee, after John had been preaching baptism. God had anointed him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and because God was with him, Jesus went about doing good and curing all who had fallen into the power of the devil. Now I, and those with me, can witness to everything he did throughout the countryside of Judea and in Jerusalem itself: and also to the fact that they killed him by hanging him on a tree, yet three days afterwards God raised him to life and allowed him to be seen, not by the whole people but only by certain witnesses – we have eaten and drunk with him after his resurrection from the dead – and he has ordered us to proclaim this to his people and to tell them that God has appointed him to judge


meveryone, alive or dead. It is to him that all the prophets bear this witness; that all who believe in Jesus will have their sins forgiven through his name.’
This is the word of the Lord.

Med: Low in the grave He lay
1. Low in the grave he lay, Jesus my Saviour / waiting the coming day, Jesus my Lord.
Up from the grave he arose as the victor over all his foes;
He arose in triumph from the dark domain, and he lives for ever with his saints to reign
He arose, he arose, Alleluia – Christ arose!
2. Vainly they guard his bed, Jesus my Saviour; / vainly they seal the dead, Jesus my Lord!
Up from the Grave he arose ………….
3. Death cannot keep his prey, Jesus my Saviour; / He tore the bars away, Jesus my Lord!
Up from the grave he arose ……………

2nd Reading: A reading from the letter of St Paul to the Colossians 3:1-21
You must look for the things that are in heaven, where Christ is.
Since you have been brought back to true life with Christ, you must look for the things that are in heaven, where Christ is, sitting at God’s right hand. Let your thoughts be on heavenly things, not on the things that are on the earth, because you have died, and now the life you have is hidden with Christ in God. But when Christ is revealed – and he is your life – you too will be revealed in all your glory with him.
This is the word of the Lord.

Gospel Acclamation: ( Mix)….

Gospel: A reading from the holy Gospel according to John 20: 1-9
He must rise from the dead.
It was very early on the first day of the week and still dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved. ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb’ she said ‘and we don’t know where they have put him.’
So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb. They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first; he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in. Simon Peter who was following now came up, went right into the tomb, saw the linen cloths on the ground, and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed. Till this moment they had failed to understand the teaching of scripture. That he must rise from the dead.
This is the Gospel of the Lord.

Credo: Profession of Faith
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the 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.
(all bow) 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.

Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping, we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Refrain: Bringing in the sheaves, bringing in the sheaves,
we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves x2

2. Sowing in the sun-shine, sewing in the shadows; fearing neither clouds nor winter’s chilling
breeze;
By and by the harvest and the labour ended, we shall come rejoicing bringing in the sheaves.

When our weeping is over, He will bid you a welcome, we shall come rejoicing bringing in the
sheaves
