At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Author: Robert Campbell Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Christ Our Passover Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
praise to our victorious King,
who has 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.
3 Mighty victim from the sky,
pow'rs of hell beneath thee lie;
death is conquered in the fight,
thou hast brought us life and light:
hymns of glory and of praise,
risen Lord, to thee we raise;
holy Father, praise to thee,
with the Spirit, ever be.
Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:7 Used With Tune: ST. GEORGE'S WINDSOR Text Sources: Latin hymn, 6th cent.

Meter: 8.5.8.5 with refrain Appears in 66 hymnals Topics: Passover Refrain First Line: God down, Moses Lyrics: 1 When Israel was in Egypt's land,
let my people go;
oppressed so hard they could not stand,
let my people go.
Refrain:
Go down, Moses, way down in Egypt's land,
tell old Pharaoh, to let my people go.
2 The Lord told Moses what to do,
let my people go;
to lead the children of Israel through,
let my people go. [Refrain]
3 For you the cloud shall clear the way,
let my people go;
a fire by night, a shade by day,
let my people go. [Refrain]
4 We need not always weep and moan,
let my people go;
and wear these slav'ry chains forlorn.
let my people go. [Refrain]

Come, You Faithful, Raise the Strain
Author: John of Damascus; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 380 hymnals Topics: Passover Lyrics: 1 Come, you faithful, raise the strain
of triumphant gladness:
God has brought forth 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 splendour,
with the royal feast of feasts,
comes its joy to render;
comes to gladden 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 amid his own
he now stands, bestowing
God's true peace which evermore
passes human knowing. Used With Tune: AVE VIRGO VIRGINUM

The Day of Resurrection!
Author: John of Damascus, 8th cent.; John Mason Neale Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 518 hymnals Topics: Passover First Line: The day of resurrection Lyrics: 1 The day of resurrection!
Earth, tell it out abroad;
the Passover of gladness,
the Passover of God.
From death to life eternal,
from this world to the sky,
our Christ hath brought us over
with hymns of victory.
2 Our hearts be pure from evil,
that we may see aright
the Lord in rays eternal
of resurrection light;
and listening to his accents,
may hear, so calm and plain,
his own "All hail!" and hearing,
may raise the victor strain.
3 Now let the heav'ns be joyful,
let earth her song begin;
let the round world keep triumph,
and all that is therein;
invisible and visible,
their notes let all things blend,
for Christ the Lord hath risen,
our joy that hath no end.

The Lamb's High Banquet
Author: J. M. Neale Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 24 hymnals Topics: Passover First Line: The Lamb's high banquet called to share Lyrics: 1 The Lamb's high banquet called to share,
arrayed in garments white and fair,
the Red Sea past, we now would 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 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 without a stain;
the true oblationoffered here,
our own unleavened bread sincere.
5 Christ rises conqueror from the grace,
from death returning, strong to save,
with his right hand the tyrant chains,
and pradise for us regains.
5 All praise be thine, O risen Lord,
from death to endless life restored;
all praise to God the Father be
and Holy Ghost eternally.
