Easter Prayer of St. Hippolytus of Rome

Christ is Risen:

The world below lies desolate

Christ is Risen:

The spirits of evil are fallen

Christ is Risen:

The angels of God are rejoicing

Christ is Risen:

The tombs of the dead are empty

Christ is Risen indeed from the

dead,

the first of the sleepers,

Glory and power are his forever

and ever

I look forward to worshipping

with you. Have a wonderful

Easter, Alan
