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. Scripture: 1 Corinthians 5:7-8 Used With Tune: SALZBURG Text Sources: 7th century

And with a champion’s strength and grace from farthest heaven comes forth the sun. 2 God’s perfect law revives the soul; its precepts make the simple wise. Its just commands rejoice the heart; its truth gives light unto the eyes. Forever shall this law endure: unblemished, righteous, true, complete. No gold we ever found so fine, no honey in the comb more sweet. 3 God’s servant may I ever be: this world my joy, that word my guide. O cleanse me, LORD, from secret sin; deliver me from selfish pride. Accept my thoughts and words and deeds; let them find favor in your sight. For you alone can make me whole, O LORD, my refuge and my might. Scripture: Psalm 19 Used With Tune: CREATION

There's a Voice in the wilderness

Author: James Lewis Milligan Meter: Irregular Appears in 25 hymnals Topics: Epiphany 2 Year B First Line: There's a voice in the wilderness crying Lyrics: 1 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, a call from the ways untrod: prepare in the desert a highway, a highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, the lofty hills brought low; make straight all the crooked places, where the God, our God, may go! 2 O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up to the heights and sing! Proclaim to a desolate people the coming of their King. Like the flowers of the field they perish, like grass our works decay, the power and pomp of nations shall pass like a dream away. 3 But the word of our God endureth, the arm of the Lord is strong; God stands in the midst of nations, and soon will right the wrong. God shall feed the flock like a shepherd, the lambs so gently hold; to pastures of peace will lead them, and bring them safe to fold. 4 There’s a voice in the wilderness crying, a call from the ways untrod: prepare in the desert a highway, a highway for our God! The valleys shall be exalted, the lofty hills brought low; make straight all the crooked places, where the God, our, God may go! Used With Tune: ASCENSION (BANCROFT)

Joy of each day, our Song by night, shine on our path your holy light. 4 Guests of their God, they opened treasures, incense and gold and solemn myrrh; welcoming one too young to question how came these gifts, and what they were: Gift beyond price of gold or gem, make among us your Bethlehem.
