"Welcome, happy morning!" age to age shall say

Author: John Ellerton, 1826 - 93; Venantius Fortunatus, 530 - 609 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #93 (1958) Lyrics: 1 'Welcome, happy morning!' age to age shall say, 'Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today!' Lo! the dead is living, God for evermore! Him, their true Creator, all his works adore. 'Welcome, happy morning!' age to age shall say. 2 Earth with joy confesses, clothing her for spring, All good gifts return with her returning King; Bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough, Speak his sorrows ended, hail his triumph now. 'Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today!'A-men. 3 Months in due succession, days of lengthening light, Hours and passing moments praise thee in their flight; Brightness of the morning, sky and fields and sea, Vanquisher of darkness, bring their praise to thee: 'Welcome, happy morning!' age to age shall say. 4 Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all, Thou from heaven beholding man's abasing fall, Of the Eternal Father true and only Son, Manhood to deliver, manhood didst put on: 'Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today!' 5 Thou, of life the author, death didst undergo, Tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show; Come then, true and faithful, now fulfil thy word; 'Tis thine own third morning; rise, O buried Lord! 'Welcome, happy morning!' age to age shall say. 6 Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan's chain; All that now is fallen raise to life again; Show thy face in brightness, bid the nations see; Bring again our daylight; day returns with thee; 'Hell today is vanquished! heaven is won today!' Amen. Topics: The Church Year Easter Languages: English Tune Title: FORTUNATUS

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: Robert Campbell, 1814 - 68 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #95a (1958) Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing Praise to our victorious King, Who hath washed us in the tide Flowing from his pierced side; Praise we him, whose love divine Gives his sacred Blood for wine, Gives his Body for the feast, Christ the victim, Christ the priest. 2 Where the Paschal Blood is poured, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go Through the wave that drowns the foe. Praise we Christ, whose Blood was shed, Paschal victim, Paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. A-men. 3 Mighty victim from the sky, Hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie; Thou hast conquered in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light; Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; Thou hast opened paradise, And in thee thy saints shall rise. 4 Paschal triumph, Paschal joy, Sin alone can this destroy; From sin's power do thou set free Souls new-born, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise: Risen Lord, all praise to thee With the Spirit ever be. Amen.

O sons and daughters, let us sing!

Author: John Mason Neale, 1818 - 66; Jean Tisserand, d. 1494 Hymnal: SBHC1958 #96 (1958) Lyrics: Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! 1 O sons and daughters, let us sing! The King of heaven, the glorious King, O'er death today rose triumphing. Alleluia! 2 That Easter morn, at break of day, The faithful women went their way To seek the tomb where Jesus lay. Alleluia! 3 An angel clad in white they see, Who sat, and spake unto the three, 'Your Lord goes on to Galilee.' Alleluia! 4 That night the apostles met in fear; Amidst them came their Lord most dear, And said, 'My peace be on all here.' Alleluia! 5 When Thomas first the tidings heard, How they had seen the risen Lord, He doubted the disciples' word. Alleluia! 6 'My piercèd side, O Thomas, see; My hands, my feet, I show to thee; Not faithless, but believing be.' Alleluia! 7 No longer Thomas then denied; He saw the feet, the hands, the side; 'Thou art my Lord and God,' he cried. Alleluia! 8 How blest are they who have not seen, And yet whose faith has constant been, For they eternal life shall win. Alleluia! 9 On this most holy day of days, To God your hearts and voices raise In laud and jubilee and praise. Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
