You Triumphed over Death in Power

O Christ,
true Redeemer of the world,
when the angel rolled away the stone from the tomb
you triumphed over death in power
and you first announced your resurrection
to faithful women who eagerly sought you.
Deliver us from all weakness,
take away from our mouth
any ‘stone’ which would prevent
our confessing your name,
and grant that we may always delight in your service,
and loving you with increasing fervor,
may receive your eternal comfort.

Translation from The Revised Prayer-book of the Reformed Spanish Church in traditional English.

O Christ, Thou true Redeemer of the world, Who, the angel having rolled away the stone from the sepulchre, didst by Thy wondrous power triumph over death, and wast pleased to first announce Thy resurrection to tender women who sought Thee with so great regard; Deliver us from all weakness; take away from our mouth every stone which would prevent our confessing Thy Name, and grant that we may ever delight in Thy service, and loving Thee with increasing fervour may be comforted with Thy everlasting consolation.
