Note to sound desk operators Leave the black screen. So it will be black (to remain in the dark) - as we enter the church as all light their candles from the paschal candle . Sing choirs of heaven! Let saints and angels sing! Around God's throne exult in harmony! Now Jesus Christ

Blessing the Waters The light is passed from the Paschal Candle to the people. Water is poured into the font.
The Lord be with you • And also with you • Let us give thanks to the Lord our God • It is right to give our thanks and praise
As the gong sounds all respond, Thanks be to God

The Creed • Do you believe in God the Father? • I believe in God, the Fatheralmighty, • creator of heaven and earth.
Do you believe in God the Son? • I believe in Jesus Christ, • God's only Son, our Lord, • who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, • born of the Virgin Mary, • suffered under Pontius Pilate, • was crucified, • died and was buried;
he descended to the dead. • On the third day he rose again; • he ascended into heaven, • he is seated at the right hand • of the Father, • and he will come again • to judge the living and the dead.
Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit? • I believe in the Holy Spirit, • the holy catholic Church, • the communion of saints, • the forgiveness of sins, • the resurrection of the body, • and the life everlasting. • Amen
Sprinkling with baptismal water Water from the font is sprinkled over the assembly
Greeting of Peace • Christ is risen. Alleluia! • He is risen indeed. Alleluia! • The peace of the risen Lord be always with you. • And also with you.
Now the green blade rises • from the buried grain, • wheat that in the dark earth • many days has lain: • love lives again, • that with the dead has been: • Love has come again, • like wheat that springs up green.
In the grave they laid him, • Love whom hate had slain, • thinking that he never • would awake again, • laid in the earth, • like grain that sleeps unseen. • Love has come again, • like wheat that springs up green.
Up he sprang at Easter, • like the risen grain, • he who for the three days • in the grave had lain, • raised from the dead • my living Lord is seen: • Love has come again, • like wheat that springs up green.
When our hearts are wintry, • grieving, or in pain, • then your touch can call us • back to life again – • fields of our hearts • that dead and bare have been: • Love has come again, • like wheat that springs up green. © Words: Permission Oxford University Press Music: John MacLeod Campbell Crum 1872 – 1958 alt CCLI202156
