Alleluia! Christ is Risen!
The Lord is risen indeed! Alleluia!
— from BCP1979

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

The Lord reigns! He is clothed with majesty!
The Lord is armed with strength.
The world also is established.
It cannot be moved.
Your throne is established from long ago.
You are from everlasting.
The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice.
The floods lift up their waves.
Above the voices of many waters,
the mighty breakers of the sea,
The Lord on high is mighty.
Your statutes stand firm.
Holiness adorns your house,
O Lord, forever more.
— Psalm 93

Invitatory

I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus,
and the love which you have toward the saints;
so I never cease giving thanks for you,
and asking in my prayers,
that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory,
may give to you a spirit of wisdom,
having the eyes of your hearts enlightened,
that you may know the hope of his calling,
and the riches of his glory.
— Ephesians 1:15-18†

They were continually in the temple,
praising and blessing God.
