The Lamb's high banquet we await

Author: J. M. Neale, 1818-1866 Hymnal: NEH1985 #101a (1986) 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 Tune Title: AD CENAM AGNI

Author: Percy Dearmer, 1867-1936 Hymnal: NEH1985 #102 (1986) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Lyrics: 1 A brighter dawn is breaking, And earth with praise is waking; For thou, O King most highest, The power of death defiest; 2 And thou hast come victorious, With risen Body glorious, Who now for ever livest, And life abundant givest. 3 O free the world from blindness, And fill the world with kindness, Give sinners resurrection, Bring striving to perfection; 4 In sickness give us healing, In doubt thy clear revealing, That praise to thee be given In earth as in thy heaven.

Alleluya! Alleluya!

Author: Christopher Wordsworth, 1807-85 Hymnal: NEH1985 #103 (1986) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Lyrics: 1 Alleluya! Alleluya! Hearts to heaven and voices raise; Sing to God a hymn of gladness, Sing to God a hymn of praise; He who on the Cross a victim For the world's salvation bled, Jesus Christ, the King of glory, Now is risen from the dead. 2 Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits Of the holy harvest field, Which will all its full abundance At his second coming yield; Then the golden ears of harvest Will their heads before him wave, Ripened by his glorious sunshine From the furrows of the grave. 3 Christ is risen, we are risen; Shed upon us heavenly grace, Rain, and dew, and gleams of glory From the brightness of thy face; That we, Lord, with hearts in heaven Here on earth may fruitful be, And by angel-hands be gathered, And be ever safe with thee. 4 Alleluya! Alleluya! Glory be to God on high; To the Father, and the Saviour, Who has gained the victory; Glory to the Holy Spirit, Fount of love and sanctity; Alleluya! Alleluya! To the Triune Majesty.

At the Lamb's high feast we sing

Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-68 Hymnal: NEH1985 #104 (1986) 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 piercèd side; Praise we him whose love divine Gives the guests his blood for wine, Gives his body for the feast, Love the Victim, Love 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. Christ, the Lamb whose blood was shed, Paschal victim, Paschal bread! With sincerity and love Eat we Manna from above. 3 Mighty Victim from on high, Powers of hell beneath thee lie; Death is broken in the fight, Thou hast brought us life and light. Now thy banner thou dost wave, Conquering Satan and the grave. See the prince of darkness quelled; Heaven's bright gates are open held. 4 Paschal triumph, Paschal joy, Only sin can this destroy; From sin's death do thou set free, Souls re-born, dear Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise. Risen Lord, all praise to thee, Ever with the Spirit be. Topics: The Christian Year Eastertide Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG

Come, ye faithful, raise the strain

Neale, 1818-66 Hymnal: NEH1985 #106 (1986) Meter: 7.6.7.6.7.6.7.6 Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain Of triumphant gladness; God hath brought His Israel Into joy from sadness; Loosed from Pharoah's bitter yoke Jacob's sons and daughters; Led them with unmoistened foot Through the Red Sea waters. 2 'Tis the spring of souls to-day: Christ hath burst His prison, And from three days' sleep in death As a sun hath risen; All the winter of our sins, Long and dark, is flying From his light, to whom we give Laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright With the day of splendour, With the royal feast of feasts, Comes its joy to render; Comes to glad Jerusalem, Who with true affection Welcomes in unwearied strains Jesu's Resurrection. 4 Neither might the gates of death, Nor the tomb's dark portal, Nor the watchers, nor the seal, Hold thee as a mortal; But today amidst thine own Thou didst stand, bestowing That thy peace which evermore Passeth human knowing.
