First Lesson
Isaiah 26:12-16, 19
12
LORD, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for thou also hast wrought
all our works in us.
13 O LORD our God, other lords beside thee have had dominion
over us: but by thee only will we make mention of thy name.
14 They are dead, they shall not live; they are deceased, they
shall not rise: therefore hast thou visited and destroyed them,
and made all their memory to perish.
15 Thou hast increased the nation, O LORD, thou hast increased
the nation: thou art glorified: thou hadst removed it far unto
all the ends of the earth.
16 LORD, in trouble have they visited thee, they poured out a
prayer when thy chastening was upon them.
19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall
they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew
is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

Second Lesson
John 20:19-23
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week,
when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for
fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith
unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands and
his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father
hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith
unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and
whosesoever sins ye retain, they are retained.
