Easter-Even.

Grant to us, Lord, who in baptismal wave have sought to wash away sin’s inbred stain, asking the Spirit, through Thy Son, to save, baptized into His death, new life to gain. New life, new power, ourselves to mortify, corrupt affections daily to subdue, ‘til sinful self within us buried lie, and we by holy influence live anew. Thou to the grave hast passed through death’s dark gate, O Lord of Life! for us that woe hast borne; within the grave let Thy voice bid us wail in joyful hope our resurrection morn. O God, for us Thy everblessed Son tasted the cup of death; all glorious rose from the dark grave. O, by the spoils He won in Resurrectiontrust, bid us repose.

Easter-Even.

Grant, O Lord, that as we are baptized into the death of thy blessed Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, so by continual mortifying our corrupt affections we may be buried with him; and that through the grave, and gate of death, we may pass to our joyful resurrection; for his merits, who died, and was buried, and rose again for us, thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
