I arose, and am still with thee, alleluia; thou hast laid thy hand upon me, alleluia; thy knowledge is become wonderful, alleluia, alleluia. Ps. 138.1,2. Lord, thou hast searched me and known me; thou knowest my sitting down and my rising up. V.: Glory be.

EPISTLE I Cor. 5. 7-8

Brethren, purge out the old leaven, that you may be a new paste, as you are unleavened: for Christ our Pasch is sacrificed. Therefore let us feast, not with the old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

Alleluia, alleluia. V.: I Cor. 5.7. Christ our Passover is sacrificed.

SEQUENCE – Victimae Paschali

Christians to the Paschal Victim offer your thankful praises.
The Lamb the sheep redeemeth: Christ, who only is sinless, reconcileth sinners to the Father.
Death and life contended in that conflict stupendous: the Prince of Life, who died, deathless reigneth.
Speak, Mary, declaring what thou sawest wayfaring.
The tomb of Christ who now liveth: and likewise the glory of the Risen.
Bright Angels attesting, the shroud and napkin resting.
Yea, Christ my hope is arisen: to Galilee he goeth before you.
We know that Christ is risen, henceforth ever living: Have mercy, Victor King, pardon giving. Amen. Alleluia.

¶ The above Sequence is said through Saturday of Easter Week inclusive.

+ The Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Mark (16.1-7)

At that time, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome brought sweet spices, that coming they might anoint Jesus. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came to the sepulchre, the sun being now risen. And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And looking, they saw the stone rolled back. For it was very great. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed with a white robe, and they were astonished. Who saith to them, Be not affrighted; ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified: He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples, and Peter, that he goeth before you into Galilee; there you shall see him, as he told you.

The Creed is said.

OFFERTORY Ps. 75.9-10

The earth trembled and was still when God arose in judgment, alleluia.
