The Lamb's High Banquet Called to Share
Author: John Mason Neale (1818-1866) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 14:10-31 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
At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Author: Rpbert Campbell, 1814-1868 Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 14:28 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 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.
3 Mighty victim from above,
conqu'ring by the pow'r of love;
thou hast triumphed in the fight,
thou hast brought us life and light.
Now no more can death appal,
now no more the grave enthral:
thou hast opened paradise,
and in thee thy saints shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
nothing now can this destroy;
from sin's pow'r do thou set free
souls new-born, O Lord, in thee.
Hymns of glory and of praise,
risen Lord, to thee we raise;
holy Father, praise to thee,
with the Spirit, ever be. Topics: Easter; Holy Communion; Year A All Saints' Day; Year A Easter 2; Year B Epiphany 3; Year C Easter 2; Year C Easter 4; Years A, B, and C Easter Vigil Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: 7th century

Through the night of doubt and sorrow
Author: Sabine Baring-Gould (1834-1924); Bernhard Severin Ingemann (1789-1862) Meter: 8.7.8.7 Appears in 317 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 14:19-31 Lyrics: 1 Through the night of doubt and sorrow
onward goes the pilgrim band,
singing songs of expectation,
marching to the promised land.
2 Clear before us through the darkness
gleams and burns the guiding light;
pilgrim clasps the hand of pilgrim,
stepping fearless through the night.
3 One the light of God's own presence
o'er his ransomed people shed,
chasing far the gloom and terror,
brightening all the path we tread:
4 One the object of our journey,
one the faith which never tires,
one the earnest looking forward,
one the hope our God inspires:
5 One the strain that lips of thousands
lift as from the heart of one;
one the conflict, one the peril,
one the march in God begun:
6 One the gladness of rejoicing
on the far eternal shore,
where the one almighty Father
reigns in love for evermore.
7 Onward, therefore, Christian pilgrims,
onward with the cross our aid;
bear its shame, and fight its battle,
till we rest beneath its shade.
8 Soon shall come the great awaking,
soon the rending of the tomb;
then the scattering of all shadows,
and the end of toil and gloom. Topics: Ash Wednesday; Doubt; Endurance; Future hope; Light; Other Saints and Festivals Thomas the Apostle; Perseverance; Pilgrimage; Proper 13 Year B; Proper 25 Year A Used With Tune: MARCHING

Come, Ye Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus, c. 675-c. 749; John M. Neale, 1818-1866 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 379 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 14:29 First Line: Come, ye faithful raise the strain Lyrics: 1 Come, ye faithful, raise the strain
Of triumphant gladness;
God had brought his Israel
Into joy from sadness;
Loosed from Pharaoh's bitter yoke
Jacob's sons and daughters;
Led them with unmoistened foot
Through the Red Sea waters.
2 'Tis the spring of souls today;
Christ has burst his prison,
And from three days' sleep in death
As a sun has 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 splendor,
With the royal feast of feasts,
Comes its joy to render;
Comes to gladen faithful hearts
Who with true affection
Welcome in unwearied strains
Jesus' resurrection.
4 Neither could the gates of death,
Nor the tomb's dark portal,
Nor the watchers, nor the seal
Hold him as a mortal;
For today among the Twelve
Christ appeared bestowing
Lasting peace which evermore
Passes human knowing.
5 "Alleuia!" now we cry
To our King immortal,
Who, triumphant, burst the bars
Of the tomb's dark portal;
"Alleluia!" with the Son,
God the Father praising;
"Alleluia!" yet again
To the Spirit raising.
