Easter Prayer of St Hippolytus

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. Amen.

~ St Hippolytus of Rome
