Let us, with a gladsome mind

praise the Lord, for he is kind:

for of gods he is the God;
for his mercies ay endure,

for his mercies ay endure,

caused all day his course to run;

5 And the moon to shine at night,
'mid her starry sisters bright;
for his mercies ay endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.
6 All things living he doth feed.
his full hand supplies their need:
for his mercies ay endure,
ever faithful, ever sure.

At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Topics: Easter Vigil 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,
Hell's fierce powers beneath you lie;
You have conquered in the fight,
You have brought us life and light:
Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
You have opened paradise,
And in you your saints shall rise.
4 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
This alone can sin destroy;
From sin's power, Lord, set us free
New-born souls in you to be.
Father, who the crown shall give,
Savior, by whose death we live,
Spirit, guide through all our days,
Three in One, your name we praise. Scripture: Exodus 15 Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: Latin, 4th C.

O Love, How Deep, How Broad, How High
Author: Benjamin Webb Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 139 hymnals Topics: Church Year Easter Vigil Lyrics: 1 O love, how deep, how broad, how high,
beyond all thought and fantasy,
that God, the Son of God, should take
our mortal form for mortals’ sake!
2 For us baptized, for us he bore
his holy fast and hungered sore;
for us temptation sharp he knew,
for us the tempter overthrew.
3 For us he prayed; for us he taught;
for us his daily works he wrought:
by words and signs and actions thus
still seeking not himself, but us.
4 For us to evil power betrayed,
scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed,
he bore the shameful cross and death;
for us gave up his dying breath.
5 For us he rose from death again;
for us he went on high to reign;
for us he sent his Spirit here
to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.
6 All glory to our Lord and God
for love so deep, so high, so broad —
the Trinity, whom we adore
forever and forevermore.
Scripture: 2 Corinthians 8:9 Used With Tune: DEO GRACIAS Text Sources: Latin, 15th c.

the sun shone out with fairer light

their Lord indeed was risen again.

your own redeemed forever shield;
O Lord of all, with us abide
in this our joyful Eastertide.
