Reader 2:
In the morning early, the women came to the tomb.
“He is not here,” they were told.
They could see it was true
Reader 3:
the sun lifted darkness from the land, another morning.
A blocking stone had moved.
The tomb was open and empty.
All:
We thank you dear God for all of your mighty acts.
We pray, good Lord, for sight. We pray to see You.
Reader 2:
Spirit of God, you are present within us,
your dwelling place and home.
All:We thank you for your light by which we see.
