PENITENTIAL ACT Priest: Brothers and Sisters, let us acknowledge our sins, and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred mysteries. I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do, through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God. Priest: May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life.

SEQUENCE Victimae Paschali laudes immolent Christiani. Agnus redemit oves: Christus innocens Patri reconciliavit peccatores. Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando: dux vitae mortuus regnat vivus. Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via? Sepulchrum Christi viventis, et gloriam vidi resurgentis. Angelicos testes, sudarium, et vestes. Surrexit Christus spes mea: praecedet suos in Galilaeam. Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: tu nobis victor Rex, miserere. Amen. Alleluia. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Tomás Luis de Victoria (c.1548 1611) Christians, to the Paschal Victim offer thankful praises! A Lamb the sheep redeems; Christ, who only is sinless reconciles sinners to the Father. Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous: The Prince of Life, who died, reigns immortal. Speak, Mary, declaring what you saw, wayfaring. The tomb of Christ, who lives, the glory of his resurrection; Bright angels attesting, the shroud and napkin resting. Christ my hope is arisen; to Galilee he goes before you. Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining. Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning! Amen. Alleluia. William Henry Monk (1823 1889) GOSPEL John 20:1 9 Priest: The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. Priest: A reading from the holy Gospel according to John. Glory to you, Lord. Following the reading: Priest: The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. Please remain standing until the Gospel procession returns to the sanctuary. All are seated for the Homily. HOMILY The Pastor RENEWAL OF BAPTISMAL PROMISES To each question, all respond I do. SPRINKLING RITE Vidi aquam egredientem de templo, a latere dextro, et omnes, ad quos pervenit aqua ista, salvi facti sunt, et dicent, alleluia! Tomás Luis de Victoria I saw water flowing from the right side of the temple; All to whom this water came were saved, and they shall say: alleluia!

Liturgy of the Eucharist OFFERTORY Ye choirs of new Jerusalem, your sweetest notes employ, The Paschal victory to hymn, in strains of holy joy. For Judah s lion burst his chains, crushing the serpent s head; And cries aloud through death s domains to wake the imprisoned dead. Devouring depths of hell their prey at his command restore; His ransomed hosts pursue their way where Jesus goes before. Charles Villiers Stanford (1852 1924) Triumphant in his glory now to him all power is given; To him in one communion bow all saints in earth and heaven. While we, his soldiers, praise our King, his mercy we implore, Within his palace bright to bring, and keep us evermore. All glory to the Father be, all glory to the Son, All glory, Holy Ghost, to thee, while endless ages run. Alleluia! Amen.

MUSIC AT COMMUNION Regina cæli, lætare, alleluia, Quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia Resurrexit sicut dixit, ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia. Gregor Aichinger (c.1565 1628) Queen of heaven, rejoice, alleluia, For He whom you were worthy to bear, alleluia, Has risen, as He said, pray for us to God, alleluia. Spice she brought and sweet perfume Mary to her Saviour s tomb hasted at the early dawn. Spice she brought and sweet perfume, but the Lord she loved was gone. For a while she weeping stood, struck with sorrow and surprise. Shedding tears a plenteous flood, for her heart supplied her eyes. O my Saviour, where has my Saviour gone? O my Saviour, here is my Saviour, He is risen from the tomb. Alleluia. McNeil Robinson (1943 2015) Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c.1525 1594) Sicut cervus desiderat ad fontes aquarum: ita desiderat anima me ad te, Deus. As a deer longs for flowing streams, so longs my soul for you, O God. Church of Our Saviour on Murray Hill in the City of New York 16 April 2017
