The Cross
Dying You destroyed our death
Rising You restored our life
Christ Jesus , come in glory.
The Opening Invitatory Bead
Blessed are you Lord, King of Kings
You have given us your peace
And set a hunger in our hearts.

Lighten our darkness, Lord
Let the light of your presence
Dispel the shadows of our world.

From falsehood to truth.

From fear to trust.

Rising, you restored our life
Christ Jesus, come in glory
