My soul sings and my spirit delights and
rejoices, O Faithful God,
because you have removed the stone which was rolled over our hearts and we
are risen. Yes, from
this day forward all generations will call us blessed for the Almighty has
called us forth from death and we have responded.
Holy is the name of God, and compassion
reaches from age to age for those who walk hand in hand with the Everlasting
One. You have shown
power over death. You have humiliated those who believed they could
destroy your Living Word.
You have enfeebled those who would rule by
their own might and empowered the simple people who trust in you, O God who
creates and companions.
The anguished of heart are stilled, made
whole again by this good news, and the arrogant are reduced to eternal
confusion. You have
come to the help of Israel, your faithful one, Israel who remembers you are
the God who saves ........ according to the history of our time with you.
Israel who remembers you are the God who
saves us from bondage, from faithlessness, and from ultimate violence.
You are forever Living One, the Shatterer of Death.
