Almighty God, who through your only‑begotten Son Jesus
Christ overcame death and opened to us the gate of
everlasting life:
Grant that we, who celebrate with joy the
day of the Lord’s resurrection, may be raised from the death
of sin by your life‑giving Spirit;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
–Book of Common Prayer, 1979, Episcopal Church USA
