Anthem

P. We praise You, the one true God;

one in essence and power,

though known in three Persons:

Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

C. Amen.

Psalm 2

P. Why do the nations rage

and people plot in vain?

C. The kings of the earth rise up

and the rulers counseled together

against the Lord and against His Anointed;

P. “Let us break their bands

and throw off their cords.”

C. The One enthroned in heaven laughs;

the Lord scoffs at them.

P. Then He rebukes them in His anger,

and terrifies them in His wrath;

C. “I have installed My King

on Zion, My holy mountain.”

P. I will proclaim the decree:

The Lord has said to me, “You are My Son;

today I have begotten You.

C. Ask Me, and I will make

the nations Your inheritance,

the ends of the earth Your possession.

P. Let us all pray and plead to the Lord

C. Lord of all blessings,

bless us and help us.

P. May we become worthy to continuously offer You

praise, thanksgiving, glory, adoration

and everlasting majesty.

O living Father and source of life,

who gave life to our dying race by enduring a physical death,

who lay among the dead

and who enabled the dead to wake up and rise,

who took spoil of the strong chambers of agonising death

and redeemed the human race by defeating

the mighty evil one who had enslaved them,

who is the one and only warrior, the firstborn among the dead

who resurrected into incorruptibility,

the resurrected and living Lord the Messiah,

who by Your resurrection

saved Adam and his descendents from destruction,

on this day when we celebrate

the festival of Your resurrection, and all the days of our lives,

You are worthy of praise, worship and honour,

now and forever more.

Prayer

P. Our Lord the Messiah, because You are

by very nature, life itself and the giver of life,

and in love, endured death on the cross to redeem us from sin,

willingly lay in the tomb to bring us out from the depths of hell,

descended among the dead,

so that we who would have perished by death,

could be returned to life,

on this day of Your resurrection,

we worship and praise You

for all Your mercies towards us.

Indeed Lord, You died for us,

stayed three days in the womb of the earth,

demolished cruel death, and by destroying hell,

redeemed us slaves and set us free.

Without seeing corruption,

You gloriously rose up to life

and together with You, raised us up.

By Your resurrection, You removed the animosity

created by Satan, between the Father and our race,

and brought peace.

You united those in heaven and on earth.

You destroyed the venom of the mighty serpent,

by the water and blood that flowed from Your side.

By that life giving blood,

You promised all the descendents of Adam,

incorruptible lives and an imperishable Kingdom.

By Your resurrection, You gave life to Adam,

And the one who was made in Your image,

xvi

was renewed.

By Your victory, You brought happiness to those above

and joy to those below.

On the day of Your resurrection,

the heavenly beings came down in Your honour.

The angels gathered around Your tomb.

xvii

Those from above came together with the ones below.

The heavenly beings established peace with the earthly beings.

The spiritual beings sang songs together with the physical beings.

Now, with David, the godly psalmist,

we too can say in a loud voice, that indeed,

“This is the day that the Lord has made;

come, let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

xviii

This is the great festival of joy.

Today the angels proclaim joy to those on earth.

Today brings grief to those who crucified Him

and consolation to the disciples.

Today brings sorrow to the Jews

and happiness and joy to the holy Church.

Today we approach with the hope of life.

Today the one who was counted with the dead,

wakes the dead with His own voice

and brings joy to His entire creation.

Lord, because of this,

on this day that You rose from the dead,

what we pray for is; that You receive the prayers

and supplications offered by us who are weak and sinful

and grant us forgiveness of tresspasses

and pardon for our sins.

Chant

Of all days, Sunday is indeed the greatest.

All creation here and above, celebrate this day.

On this day, the throne of God is glorified,

the gospel of salvation is proclaimed,

and comfort and hope is granted to the living and the dead.

On this day that the Lord has risen from the tomb,

the Church rejoicingly says, “Haaleluyyah”. Bless us O Lord.

Praise be to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Haaleluyyah.

Peace, peace for those who are near and far.

The Messiah rose from the tomb and gathered the scattered.

Thomas and Simon were affirmed in their faith,

and sadness and despair departed from them.

Caiaphas however, bowed his head and the crowds wept.

The Church, together with Mary and her friends sang praises;

“Haaleluyyah, O Lord of the Resurrection!”

Lord, bless us and help us.

Prayer of Incense

P. Our Lord, who by Your death, gave life to the dead,

who by Your burial, raised those who were buried in the tomb,

who untied the power of death

and turned it into a peaceful slumber for the redeemed,

who by Your resurrection,

gained victory over death and Satan,

accept this prayer of incense

that we offer at this time in Your holy presence

and with it, put to death all sinful inclination within us.

St. James’ Supplication

P. O Son of God, who by Your glorious resurrection,

saved the holy Church from waywardness,

grant Your peace and protect its children

with the radiance of the cross.

C. O Almighty One, who defeated death, You woke up

and rose again on the third day after sleeping on the cross.

Your burden moved away after remaining in the tomb

for three days and the One who suffered, rose up

without witnessing the damnation of the punishment.

P. Glory be to the Father who raised His Son by His great power.

Praise to the Son, who willingly rose from the tomb.

Thanks be to the Holy Spirit

who jubilantly honoured Him from among the dead.

and who made peace between those in heaven and on earth,

grant peace to Your holy Church

P. We believe in the one true God, the Father Almighty;

C. Maker of heaven and earth

and of all things

visible and invisible.

We believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father

before all worlds; Light of light, very God of very God;

begotten not made, being of one substance with the Father,

by whom all things were made;

who, for us and for our salvation,

came down from heaven and was incarnate

by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made Man;

He was crucified also for us in the days of Pontius Pilate;

He suffered and died and was buried;

on the third day He rose again by His own holy will,

ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father;

He shall come again with glory,

to judge both the living and the dead;

and of His Kingdom, there will be no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life;

who proceeds from the Father;

who with the Father and Son

together is worshipped and glorified;

who spoke by the prophets and the apostles;

and we believe in one holy catholic

and apostolic Church.

We acknowledge one baptism

for the forgiveness of sins and look forward

to the resurrection of the dead

and the new life of the world to come. Amen.

Some of the Bible verses in this Prayer Book will differ from the corresponding

verses used in either the Malayalam or the English Bibles. This is because, in the

Malayalam Haasha Kramam, these verses were originally translated from the

Peshitta (Syriac Bible).
