OPENING COLLECT
Blessed are you, O Lord God, Sovereign of all;
for in raising Christ from the dead, and in raising us with Christ,
you have fashioned for yourself a new people,
washed in the waters of baptism,
sealed with the gift of the Spirit,
and invited to the banquet of the Lamb!
In the beauty of this Easter morning,
set our minds on the new life to which you have called us;
place on our lips the words of witness for which you have anointed us;
and prepare our hearts to celebrate the festival of the resurrection
with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
We ask this through your Son, Jesus the Christ,
our Passover and our Peace,
who lives and reigns with you
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God forever and ever. Amen.

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH
The Apostles’ Creed
Brothers and sisters, I invite you to profess the faith of the church.
Do you believe and trust in God the Father?
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
Do you believe and trust in his Son Jesus Christ?
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and will come again to judge the living and the dead.
Do you believe and trust in the Holy Spirit?
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen. THE PEACE
The risen Christ came and stood among his disciples and said, ‘Peace be with you.’
Then were they glad when they saw the Lord.
Alleluia. The peace of the risen Christ be always with you.
And also with you. Alleluia.
Let us exchange signs of reconciliation and peace.
O FFERTORY PRAYER
Blessed are you, God of all majesty,
for in the miraculous power of your love
you raised Jesus Christ from the dead;
and in fulfilment of your promises,
you made him the first of many to receive your gift of eternal life.
As Christ now lives and reigns with you,
receive the tithes and gifts we gratefully bring
in the cause of joyfully sharing your good news of salvation with others;
through him who lived our life, died our death, and was raised for our sake,
Jesus Christ our living Lord. Amen.
OFFERTORY ANTHEM

THE LORD’S 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 forever. Amen.
BREAKING THE BREAD
GIVING THE BREAD AND CUP
We invite all persons to the Lord’s Table. This is the table, not of the church, but of the Lord. It is made ready for those who love God and
for those who hope to love God more. So, come, you who have much faith and you who have little, you who have been here often, and you who
have not been here for a long time or ever before, you who have followed, and you who have stumbled. Come, because it is the Lord who invites
you. It is Christ’s will that those who seek him will meet him here at his table.
Following the direction of the ushers, please come to the Communion station nearest you. The center station is for those who require glutenfree bread. We serve Holy Communion by intinction. Please extend your hands to receive the bread and then dip the bread into the cup as it is
offered to you. After you partake, you also may kneel at the rail for prayer and meditation.
PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
God of our salvation,
we give you thanks for this holy mystery
in which we enjoy communion with the risen Christ
and with all who love him in earth and heaven.
We pray that, strengthened by his grace,
and sent out in the power of your Spirit,
we may give ourselves for others
and serve you faithfully all our days;
in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Music Notes
O Risen Lord by K. Lee Scott (b. 1950) sets text by John Mason Neale (1818-1866) in a lilting choral work celebrating
the Easter story. Scott, known for his compositions for the church, has published over 300 anthems, hymns and works
for ensemble.
O risen Lord, O glorious Son, now is the mighty battle won; Songs of praising we are raising, Alleluia. On the third morning he arose,
shining in victory o’er his foes; Earth is singing, heaven is ringing, Alleluia. After the death that him befell, Christ our Lord, has harrowed
hell. Sing with gladness, gone is sadness, Alleluia. The Lord of all things lives anew, and all his saints are rising too; May our living be
thanksgiving; Alleluia.
In Joseph’s Lovely Garden is a traditional Spanish melody arranged by Clarence Dickinson, with words by his wife, Helen
Dickinson. Trinity’s Dr. Paul Taylor has arranged the violin descant for the fourth verse of this lovely Easter carol. A
founder of the American Guild of Organists and the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary, Clarence
Dickinson (1873-1969) was known as the Dean of American Church Musicians.
Scatter the Darkness, Break the Gloom is a setting by Ralph Schultz of text by Stephen Starke. This joyous hymn pairs
Easter text with the bright Bensaçon tune, found in our hymnal at #202.
Beatus Vir by Giacomo Puccini (1712-1781) is a setting of Psalm 112. Puccini “senior” (greatgreatgrandfather of the
opera composer) was head of the illustrious musical family of five generations who were concerned primarily with creating sacred works for religious worship in the Italian town of Lucca. His works alternate counterpoint with homophonic texture and demonstrate striking harmonic changes to illustrate the text. Beatus Vir concludes with the Gloria
Patri and a final setting of the Magnificat.
Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who delights in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth, the righteous generation shall be blessed. Glory and prosperity will be in his house, and his justice will last from one generation to the next. A light has risen
for the upright in the darkness, one who is merciful, compassionate and just. Happy is the man who sympathizes and shares, who chooses
his words judiciously. Since he will not be moved for eternity, the just man will be always remembered. He shall not fear evil tidings, his
heart is ready to hope in the Lord. His heart is made strong, he will not be moved until he looks down upon his enemies. He disperses, he
gives to the poor, his justice lasts for all generations. His horn will be exalted with honor. The evil will see and be angry. He will grind his
teeth and wither away. The desire of the wicked shall perish. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in
the beginning, is now, and ever shall be. World without end. Amen.
Christ the Lord is Risen! Alleluia! This joyful work was transcribed and edited by S. Drummond Wolff from a work by
Johan Helmich Roman (1694-1758). Wolff took the first movement of Roman’s Jubilate Deo and set it to Easter text
from I Corinthians 15:20and Revelation 7:12.
Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah: Almost certainly, the Hallelujah Chorus is the most frequently-sung choral selection in
all of classical music. Composed by Handel in 1741 when he was 56, using a libretto created from a collection of Bible
texts about the life of Christ sent him by friend and patron Charles Jennens, it is said that it took him less than one
month to compose Messiah. The tradition of standing during the Hallelujah Chorus began during a performance on
March 23, 1743. King George II was attending and when the Chorus began, he rose. It is unclear why he stood, however people around the world still rise to their feet whenever they hear the first notes!
