FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER DWSM Propers & Readings p. 509 THE INTROIT HYMN THE Day of Resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; The Passover of gladness, The Passover of God! From death to life eternal, From earth unto the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. 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.
Now let the heavens be joyful, And earth her song begin, The round world keep high triumph, And all that is therein; Let all things seen and unseen Their notes of gladness blend, For Christ the Lord hath risen, Our Joy that hath no end.
OFFERTORY HYMN AT the Lamb's high feast we sing Mighty Victim from on high, Praise to our victorious King: Powers of hell beneath thee lie; Who hath washed us in the tide Death is broken in the fight, Flowing from his pierced side ! Thou hast brought us life and light. Praise we him whose love divine Now thy banner thou dost wave, Gives the guests his Blood for wine, Conquering Satan and the grave. Gives his Body for the feast, See the prince of darkness quelled; Love the Victim, Love the Priest. Heaven's bright gates are open held. Where the Paschal blood is poured, Paschal triumph, Paschal joy, Death's dark angel sheathes his sword ; Only sin can this destroy; Israel's hosts triumphant go From sin's death do thou set free, Through the wave that drowns the foe. Souls re-born, dear Lord, in thee. Christ, the Lamb whose Blood was shed, Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Paschal victim, Paschal bread ! Father, unto thee we raise. With sincerity and love Risen Lord, all praise to thee, Eat we Manna from above. Ever with the Spirit be.
