This Joyful Eastertide
Author: George Woodward, 1848-1934 Meter: 6.7.6.7 with refrain Appears in 67 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18-19 Lyrics: 1 This joyful Eastertide
Away with sin and sorrow!
My love, the Crucified,
Has sprung to life this morrow:
Refrain:
Had Christ who once was slain,
Not burst his three-day prison,
Our faith had been in vain:
But now has Christ arisen, arisen, arisen,
But now has Christ arisen.
2 My flesh in hope shall rest
And for a season slumber
Till trump from east to west
Shall wake the dead in number: [Refrain]
3 Death's flood has lost its chill
Since Jesus crossed the river;
Lover of souls, from ill
My passing soul deliver: [Refrain]

The Lamb's High Banquet Called to Share
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:13-22 Lyrics: 1 The Lamb's high banquet called to share,
arrayed in garments white and fair,
the Red Sea past, we long to sing
to Jesus our triumphant king.
2 Upon the altar of the cross,
his body hath redeemed our loss;
and, tasting of his precious blood,
our life is hid with him in God.
3 Protected in the paschal night
from the destroying angel's might,
in triumph went the ransomed free
from Pharaoh's cruel tyranny.
4 Now Christ our passover is slain,
the Lamb of God without a stain;
his flesh, the true unleavened bread,
is freely offered in our stead.
5 O all-sufficient Sacrifice,
beneath thee hell defeated lies;
thy captive people are set free,
and endless life restored in thee.
6 We hymn thee rising from the grave,
from death returning, strong to save;
thine own right hand the tyrant chains,
and paradise for us regains.
7 All praise be thine, O risen Lord,
from death to endless life restored;
all praise to God the Father be
and Holy Ghost eternally. Topics: Easter (season); Easter Vigil ; Eucharist; Exodus Used With Tune: ST. VENANTIUS Text Sources: Latin (6th cent.)
The Lamb's High Banquet Called to Share
What Law Have You Broken
Author: Johann Heermann, 1585-1647; Catherine Winkworth, 1827-1878 Meter: 11.11.11.5 Appears in 22 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:18 First Line: O dearest Jesus, what law have you broken Lyrics: 1 O dearest Jesus, what law have you broken
that such sharp sentence should on you be spoken?
Of what great crime have you to make confession,
what dark transgression?
2 They crown your head with thorns, they smite, they scourge you;
with cruel mockings to the cross they urge you;
they give you gall to drink, they still decry you;
they crucify you.
3 Whence come these sorrows, whence this mortal anguish?
It is my sins for which you, Lord, must languish;
yes, all the wrath, the woe that you inherit,
this I do merit.
4 What punishment so strange is suffered yonder!
The Shepherd dies for sheep that loved to wander;
the Master pays the debt his servants owe him,
who would not know him.
5 The sinless Son of God must die in sadness,
the sinful child of man may live in gladness;
we forfeited our lives, yet are acquitted;
God is committed.
6 I’ll think upon your mercy without ceasing,
that earth’s vain joys to me no more be pleasing;
to do your will shall be my sole endeavor
henceforth forever.
7 And when, dear Lord, before your throne in heaven
to me the crown of joy at last is given,
where sweetest hymns your saints forever raise you,
I too shall praise you.

Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards (1955-) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: 1 Peter 3:13-22 Lyrics: 1 Praise the one who break the darkness
with a liberating light.

turning blindness into sight.
Praise the one who preached the gospel,
healing every dread disease,
calming storms and feeding thousands
with the very bread of peace.
2 Praise the one who blessed the children
with a strong yet gentle word.
Praise the one who drove out demons
with a piercing two-edged sword.
Praise the one who brings cool water
to the desert's burning sand.
From this well comes living water
quenching thirst in every land.
3 Praise the one true love incarnate:
Christ who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose for many
that we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
seeing what our God has done.
Praise the one redeeming glory;
praise the One who makes us one. Topics: Epiphany (season); Healing; Jesus' Life and Ministry; Praise of God; Water Used With Tune: NETTLETON

Sweet Sacrament divine

Jesus, to thee our voice we raise
in songs of love and heartfelt praise:
sweet Sacrament divine.

there in thine ear all trustfully
we tell our tale of misery:

within thy shelter blest
soon may we reach the shore;
save us, for still the tempest raves,
save, lest we sink beneath the waves:
sweet Sacrament of rest.

earth's light and jubilee,
in thy far depths doth shine
thy Godhead's majesty;
sweet light, so shine on us, we pray,
that earthly joys may fade away:
