Raise Us To Eternal Joy

O God, who through the mighty resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ from the dead has delivered us from the power of darkness into the Kingdom of your love:  Grant, we paray, that as by his death he has recalled us into life, so by his presence ever abiding in us he may raise us to joys eternal.  Through him who for our sakes died and rose again, and is ever with us in power and great glory.  Amen.
