The Lamb's high banquet we await

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: NEH1985 #101a (1986) Tune Title: AD CENAM AGNI Lyrics: 1 The Lamb’s high banquet we await In snow-white robes of royal state, And now, the Red Sea’s channel past, To Christ our Prince we sing at last. 2 Upon the altar of the Cross His Body has redeemed our loss, And tasting of his precious Blood, Our life is hid with Christ in God. 3 That Paschal eve God’s arm was bared, The devastating angel spared; By strength of hand our hosts went free From Pharaoh’s ruthless tyranny. 4 Now Christ our Passover is slain, The Lamb of God that knows no stain, And he, the true unleavened Bread, Is truly our oblation made. 5 *O thou from whom hell’s monarch flies, O great, O very Sacrifice, Thy captive people are set free, And endless life restored in thee. 6 *For Christ, arising from the dead, From conquered hell victorious sped, He thrusts the tyrant down to chains, And Paradise for man regains. 7 Maker of all, to thee we pray, Fulfil in us thy joy today; When death assails, grant, Lord, that we May share thy Paschal victory. 8 To thee who, dead, again dost live, All glory, Lord, thy people give, All glory to the Father be And Spirit blest, eternally. Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Eastertide; Office Hymn Languages: English

Eternal Monarch, King most high

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: NEH1985 #128a (1986) Tune Title: AD CENAM AGNI Lyrics: 1 Eternal Monarch, King most high, Whose blood hath brought redemption nigh, By whom the death of Death was wrought And conquering grace’s battle fought: 2 Ascending to the throne of might, And seated at the Father’s right, All power in heaven is Jesu’s own, That here his manhood had not known. 3 Yea, angels tremble when they see How changed is our humanity; That flesh hath purged what flesh had stained, And God, the flesh of God, hath reigned. 4 Be thou our joy and strong defence, Who art our future recompense: So shall the light that springs from thee Be ours through all eternity. 5 O risen Christ, ascended Lord, All praise to thee let earth accord, Who art, while endless ages run, With Father and with Spirit One.

The spacious firmament on high

Author: Joseph Addison, 1672-1719 Hymnal: NEH1985 #267 (1986) Tune Title: ADDISON'S (LONDON) Lyrics: 1 The spacious firmament on high, With all the blue ethereal sky, And spangled heavens, a shining frame, Their great Original proclaim. The unwearied sun from day to day Does his Creator's power display And publishes to every land The work of an almighty hand. 2 Soon as the evening shades prevail The moon takes up the wondrous tale, And nightly to the listening earth Repeats the story of her birth; Whilst all the stars that round her burn, And all the planets in their turn, Confirm the tidings, as they roll, And spread the truth from pole to pole. 3 What though in solemn silence all Move round this dark terrestrial ball; What though nor real voice nor sound Amid their radiant orbs be found; In reason's ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing as they shine, 'The hand that made us is divine.'
