Christ Jesus Lay

Author: Martin Luther; Richard Massie; Catherine Winkworth; Johann Christian Jacobi Meter: 8.7.8.7.7.8.7.4 Appears in 57 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 12:1-20 First Line: Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands Lyrics: 1 Christ Jesus lay in death’s strong bands for our offenses given, but now at God’s right hand he stands and brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us all rejoice and sing to God with heart and voice loud songs of hallelujah! Hallelujah! 2 It was a strange and dreadful strife when life and death contended. The victory remained with life, the reign of death is ended. So the scripture makes it plain that death by death’s own sword is slain. Its sting is lost forever. Hallelujah! 3 Then let us keep this feast today that God has freely given. The word of grace has swept away the old and evil leaven. Christ today will meet his own and faith will feed on him alone; the living bread of heaven. Hallelujah!

Passover

Author: C. Wesley Appears in 11 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 12:7-13 First Line: Christ, our passover, is slain Lyrics: 1 Christ, our passover, is slain, To set his people free, Free from sin's Egyptian chain, And Pharaoh's tyranny. Lord, that we may now depart, And truly serve our pardoning God, Sprinkle every house and heart With thine atoning blood. 2 Let the angel of the Lord His awful charge fulfil, Let his pestilential sword The first-born victims kill; Safe in snares and deaths we dwell, Protected by that crimson sign, From the rage of earth and hell, And from the wrath divine. 3 Wilt thou not a difference make Betwixt thy friend and foe, Vengeance on the Egyptians take, And grace to Israel shew? Know'st thou not, most righteous God, We on the paschal lamb rely? See us cover'd with the blood, And pass thy people by. Topics: Characters and Representations of Christ Passover; Christ Passover

Why Is This Night Different?

Author: Carolyn Winfrey Gillette Meter: 12.11.12.11 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Exodus 12, 13 First Line: "Why is this night different from all of the others?" Lyrics: “Why is this night different from all of the others?” This night we remember how God set us free. This night we remember our fathers and mothers Whom God reached out to save from harsh slavery. We eat bitter herbs to recall how they suffered; The salt water tells of their tears and their cries. The lamb is the sacrifice each household offered; The matzo is the bread with no time to rise. Haroseth reminds how the people long labored In making the mortar; what weary, worn slaves! And yet in its sweetness is hope ever-savored, And in each cup of wine, the promise: God saves! Through symbols we share here, your story is spoken; God, help us to know that it’s our story, too! For as we are saved we are sent to the broken, Till all know peace and joy, till all are made new. Topics: Eucharist/Lord's Supper; Lent and Holy Week Used With Tune: KREMSER
