Love's redeeming work is done
Author: Charles Wesley (1707-1788) Hymnal: Ancient and Modern #209 (2013) Meter: 7.7.7.7 Scripture: Matthew 27:62-65 Lyrics: 1 Love's redeeming work is done;
fought the fight, the battle won:
lo, our Sun's eclipse is o'er,
lo, he sets in blood no more.
2 Vain the stone, the watch, the seal;
Christ has burst the gates of hell;
death in vain forbids his rise;
Christ has opened paradise.
3 Lives again our glorious King;
where, O death, is now thy sting?
dying once, he all doth save;
where thy victory, O grave?
4 Soar we now where Christ has led,
following our exalted Head;
made like him, like him we rise;
ours the cross, the grave, the skies.
5 Hail the Lord of earth and heaven!
Praise to thee by both be given:
thee we greet triumphant now;
hail, the Resurrection Thou! Topics: Church Year Easter; Easter; Jesus Names and images for; Other Saints and Festivals Mary Magdalene; The Fifth Sunday of Easter Year A; The Second Sunday of Easter Year C; Victory Languages: English Tune Title: SAVANNAH

My Song Forever Shall Record
Hymnal: Rejoice in the Lord #113 (1985) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Scripture: Matthew 27:57-61 Lyrics: 1 My song forever shall record
the tender mercies of the Lord;
thy faithfulness will I proclaim,
and ev'ry age shall know thy name.
I sing of mercies that endure
forever builded firm and sure.
2 Almighty God, thy lofty throne
has justice for its cornerstone,
and shining bright before thy face
are truth and love and boundless grace.
The heav'ns shall join in glad accord
to praise thee for thy words, O Lord.
3 The swelling sea obeys thy will;
its angry waves thy voice can still;
the heav'ns and earth by right divine,
the world and all therein is thene;
the whole creation's wondous frame
proclaims its Maker's glorious name.
4 With blessing is that nation crowned
whose people know the joyful sound;
they in the light, O Lord, shall live--
the light thy face and favor give.
There fame and might to thee belong,
for in thy favor they are strong. Languages: English Tune Title: ST. PETERSBURG

Christians, to the Paschal Victim
Author: Wigbert (Wipo of Burgundy) (?-1050?) Hymnal: Common Praise (1998) #241 (1998) Meter: Irregular Scripture: Matthew 27:45-66, 28:1-10 Lyrics: Christians, to the Paschal victim
offer your thankful praises!
A lamb the sheep redeeming:
Christ, who only is sinless,
reconciles a lost world to the Father.
Death and life have contended
in that combat stupendous:
the Prince of life, who died, reigns immortal.
Tell, Mary, we will hearken
what you saw in the garden:
"The tomb of Christ, who is living;
the glory of Jesus' resurrection;
bright angels attesting,
the shroud and napkin resting.
For Christ my hope is arisen;
to Galilee he will go before you."
Christ indeed from death is risen,
our new life obtaining;
have mercy, victor King, ever reigning!
Amen. Alleluia! Topics: Easter (season); Easter Vigil Languages: English Tune Title: VICTIMAE PASCHALI LAUDES

when, with his arms stretched wide
to show his love to everyone,
Jesus was crucified.

This Is the Night
Author: Peter Abélard; Richard Lyman Sturch Hymnal: Glory to God #206 (2013) Meter: 11.10.11.10 Scripture: Matthew 26:14-75; 27 First Line: This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping Lyrics: 1 This is the night, dear friends, the night for weeping,
when powers of darkness overcome the day,
the night the faithful mourn the weight of evil
whereby our sins the Son of Man betray.
2 This night the traitor, wolf within the sheepfold,
betrays himself into his victim’s will,
the Lamb of God for sacrifice preparing:
sin brings about the cure for sin’s own ill.
3 This night Christ institutes his holy supper,
blest food and drink for heart and soul and mind;
this night injustice joins its hand to treason’s,
and buys the ransom-price of humankind.
4 This night the Lord by slaves shall be arrested,
he who destroys our slavery to sin;
accused of crime, to criminals be given,
that judgment on the righteous Judge begin.
5 O make us sharers, Savior, of your Passion,
that we may share your glory that shall be;
let us pass through these three dark nights of sorrow
to Easter’s laughter and its liberty. Topics: Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Jesus Christ Passion and Death Languages: English Tune Title: MY NEIGHBOR

Joyful Is the Dark
Author: Brian Wren Hymnal: Voices Together #281 (2020) Meter: 5.5.10.6.5.10 Scripture: Matthew 27:59-60 Lyrics: 1 Joyful is the dark,
holy, hidden God,
rolling cloud of night beyond all naming,
majesty in darkness,
energy of love,
Word in flesh, the mystery proclaiming.
2 Joyful is the dark
Spirit of the deep,
winging wildly o’er the world’s creation,
silken sheen of midnight
plumage black and bright,
swooping with the beauty of a raven.
3 Joyful is the dark,
shadowed stable floor;
angels flicker, God on earth confessing,
as with exultation,
Mary, giving birth,
hails the infant cry of need and blessing.
4 Joyful is the dark
coolness of the tomb,
waiting for the wonder of the morning.
Never was that midnight
touched by dread and gloom:
darkness was the cradle of the dawning.
5 Joyful is the dark
depth of love divine,
roaring, looming thundercloud of glory,
holy, haunting beauty,
living, loving God.
Hallelujah! Sing and tell the story! Topics: Creation; Darkness and Light; God Love of; God Mystery and Holiness of; Incarnation; Jesus Christ Birth of; Jesus Christ Death of; Mary, Mother of Jesus Tune Title: JOYFUL DARK

Sing, My Tongue, the Song of Triumph
Author: Fortunatus, Sixth Century Hymnal: Catholic Book of Worship III #69 (1994) Meter: 8.7.8.7.8.7 Scripture: Matthew 26, 27 Lyrics: 1 Sing, my tongue, the song of triumph,
Tell the story far and wide;
Tell of dread and final battle,
Sing of Savior crucified;
How upon the cross a victim
Vanquishing in death he died.
2 He endured the nails, the spitting,
Vinegar and spear and reed;
From that holy body broken
Blood and water forth proceed:
Earth and stars and sky and ocean
By that flood from stain are freed.
3 Faithful Cross, above all other,
One and only noble tree,
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit your peer may be;
Sweet and wood and sweet the iron
And your burden, sweet is he.
4 Bend your boughs, O Tree of glory!
All your rigid branches, bend!
For a while the ancient temper
That your birth bestowed, suspend;
And the King of earth and heaven
Gently on your bosom tend. Topics: Eucharistic Celebration (Mass) Responsorial Psalms; Holy Week Good Friday Languages: English Tune Title: PANGE LINGUA
