At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-1868 Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 186 hymnals Scripture: Exodus 15 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 dread 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 on high,
Hell's fierce pow'rs 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 pow'r, Lord, set us free,
Newborn 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.

At the Lamb's High Feast We Sing
As newborn stars were stirred to song
Author: Carl P. Daw Jr. (b. 1944) Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Exodus 15:21 Lyrics: 1 As newborn stars were stirred to song
when all things came to be,
as Miriam and Moses sang
when Israel was set free,
so music bursts unbidden forth
when God-filled hearts rejoice,
to waken awe and gratitude
and give mute faith a voice.
2 In psalms that raise the singer’s sense
to universal truths,
in prophet’s dark-toned oracle
or hymn of three brave youths:
the song of faith and praise endured
through those God called to be
a chosen people bearing light
for all the world to see.
3 When God’s redeeming Word
took flesh to make salvation sure,
unheeding hearts attuned to strife
refused love’s overture.
Yet to the end the song went on:
a supper’s parting hymn,
a psalm intoned on dying lips
when sun and hope grew dim.
4 But silence won no vict’ry there;
a rest was all it scored
before glad alleluias rose
to greet the risen Lord.
The church still keeps that song alive,
for death has lost its sting,
and with the gift of life renewed
the heart will ever sing. Topics: Hymns and Spiritual Songs Praise Used With Tune: ALEXANDRA
