First Lesson
Exodus 15:1-13
1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the
LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath
triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown
into the sea.
2 The
LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation:
he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father's
God, and I will exalt him.
3 The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name.
4 Pharaoh's chariots and his host hath he cast into the sea:
his chosen captains also are drowned in the Red sea.
5 The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as
a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right
hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy.
7 And in the greatness of thine excellency thou hast overthrown
them that rose up against thee: thou sentest forth thy wrath,
which consumed them as stubble.
8 And with the blast of thy nostrils the waters were gathered
together, the floods stood upright as an heap, and the depths
were congealed in the heart of the sea.
9 The enemy said, I will pursue, I will overtake, I will divide
the spoil; my lust shall be satisfied upon them; I will draw
my sword, my hand shall destroy them.
10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea covered them: they
sank as lead in the mighty waters.
11 Who is like unto thee, O LORD, among the gods? who is like
thee, glorious in holiness, fearful in praises, doing wonders?
12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, the earth swallowed them.
13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast
redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy
habitation.

Second Lesson
John 20:1-10
1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when
it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken
away from the sepulchre.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other
disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken
away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they
have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came
to the sepulchre.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun
Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes
lying; yet went he not in.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre,
and seeth the linen clothes lie,
7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the
linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to
the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again
from the dead.
10 Then
the disciples went away again unto their own home.
