2 DIALOGUE FOR EASTER SUNRISE

M: In the name of the Father and of the Son † and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen.

M: Rejoice, O people of God! This is the day the Lord has made. We will not die but live, and will proclaim what the Lord has done. The Lord is our strength and our song. The Lord has done mighty things. Raise the song of salvation, and proclaim the triumph of our King. Rejoice with all creation! C: Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Thanks be to God!

M: Rejoice, O sinners made righteous! Today, the darkness of sin and shame is banished. Today, the plan of Satan is undone! Today, the grave holds no power over us. Though we were dead in our trespasses and sins, we have been made alive with Christ – it is by grace we have been saved. Rejoice in the mercy now poured upon you! C: Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Thanks be to God!

M: Rejoice, O children of God! We rise today, made alive by water and Word. All who are baptized have buried with Christ. And just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. Rejoice that you have been clothed in the brightness of his light! C: Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Thanks be to God!

M: Rejoice, O bringers of light! Send the message of the gospel into all the world! We are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, the special possession of God. Today, he sends his Spirit into our hearts that we may declare his praises and call others out darkness

M: Let us pray. Almighty and most merciful Father, once we were darkness, but now we are light in Jesus Christ our Lord. Bless us as we joyfully celebrate this dawn in faith and in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. C: May the light of Christ, who is risen in glory from the dead, scatter all the darkness of our hearts and minds! Amen.

M: Death has been swallowed up in victory! Christ is risen! C: He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

SONG OF PRAISE He is Arisen! Glorious Word! Christian Worship #162

He is arisen! Glorious Word! Now reconciled is God, my Lord; The gates of heav’n are open. My Jesus did triumphant die, And Satan’s arrows broken lie, Destroyed hell’s fiercest weapon. Oh, hear What cheer! Christ victorious, Rising glorious, Life is giving. He was dead, but now is living!

4 PRAYER OF THE DAY

M: O God, you made the dawn of this most holy day shine with the glory of our Lord’s resurrection. Grant that we who have been raised from the death of sin by your life-giving Spirit may worship you in sincerity and truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen.

Be Seated

FIRST LESSON Isaiah 12:1-6 Sing aloud and shout for joy: God’s anger has turned away!

In that day you will say: “I will praise you, Lord. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord himself, is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.” With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. In that day you will say: “Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you.”

5 PSALM Psalm 30

Refrain - Choir: Refrain - All:

Choir: Sing to the Lord, you saints of his; praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Refrain – All

Choir: To you, O Lord, I called; to the Lord I cried for mercy: “Hear, O Lord, and be merciful to me; O Lord, be my help.” You turned my wailing into dancing, that my heart may sing to you and not be silent.

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

Refrain – All

6 SECOND LESSON 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 We will be changed in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye

Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

HYMN This Joyful Christian Worship #160

This joyful Eastertide Away with sin and sorrow! My love, the Crucified, Has sprung to life this morrow.

Refrain: Had Christ, who once was slain, Not burst his three-day prison, Our faith had been in vain: But now is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen; But now is Christ arisen.

7 Death’s flood has lost its chill Since Jesus crossed the river; Lover of souls, from ill My passing soul deliver.

Refrain: Had Christ, who once was slain, Not burst his three-day prison, Our faith had been in vain: But now is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen; But now is Christ arisen.

My flesh in hope shall rest And for a season slumber Till trump from east to west Shall wake the dead in number.

Refrain: Had Christ, who once was slain, Not burst his three-day prison, Our faith had been in vain: But now is Christ arisen, arisen, arisen; But now is Christ arisen.

8 GOSPEL Mark 16:1-8 Go tell the news: Christ is risen!

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’” Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

CHOIR ANTHEM The Lord is Risen Today Lloyd Larson The angel greeted the women who came to the tomb in dismay. “Do not be afraid,” said the angel, “but hear the words I say: He is risen! Alleluia! “The Lord is risen today! Go quickly and tell the good news. The Lord is risen today!

9 The women ran from the grave side rejoicing in what they had heard. They proclaimed the message the angel had shared of their risen Lord. He is risen! Alleluia! “The Lord is risen today! Go quickly and tell the good news. The Lord is risen today!

The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; The Passover of gladness, the Passover of God. From death to life eternal, from sin’s dominion free, Our Christ has brought us over with of victory.

He is risen! Alleluia! “The Lord is risen today! Go quickly and tell the good news. The Lord is risen today!

HYMN OF THE DAY The Day of Resurrection Christian Worship #166

The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad, The Passover of gladness, The Passover of God. From death to life eternal, From this world to the sky, Our Christ has brought us over With hymns of victory.

Our hearts be pure from evil That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light And, list’ning to his accents, May hear, so calm and plain, His own “All hail!” and, hearing, May raise the victor strain.

Now let the heav’ns be joyful; Let earth her song begin. Let all the world keep triumph And all that is therein. Let all things, seen and unseen, Their notes of gladness blend; For Christ the Lord has risen; Our joy shall have no end. 10 DEVOTION

CONFESSION OF FAITH The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth. 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 into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

12 CLOSING HYMN I Know that My Redeemer Lives CW 152:1,2,5,8

I know that my Redeemer lives; What comfort this sweet sentence gives! He lives, he lives, who once was dead; He lives, my ever-living Head!

He lives triumphant from the grave; He lives eternally to save. He lives all-glorious in the sky; He lives exalted there on high.

He lives to silence all my fears; He lives to wipe away my tears. He lives to calm my troubled heart; He lives all blessings to impart.

He lives, all glory to his name! He lives, my Jesus, still the same. Oh, the sweet joy this sentence gives: “I know that my Redeemer lives!”
