All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from his light, to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendour, with the royal feast of feasts, comes its joy to render; comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus' resurrection. 4 Neither might the gates of death, nor the tomb's dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal hold thee as a mortal; but today amidst the twelve thou didst stand, bestowing that thy peace which evermore passeth human knowing. 5 Alleluia now we cry to our King immortal, who triumphant burst the bars of the tomb's dark portal; alleluia, with the Son God the Father praising; alleluia, yet again to the Spirit raising.

Denen, die Gott lieben, muss auch ihr Betrüben lauter Freude sein. Duld ich schon hier Spott und Hohn, dennoch bleibst du auch im Leide, Jesu, meine Freude. 1 Jesus, priceless treasure, source of purest pleasure, truest friend to me, long my heart hath panted, till it wellnigh fainted, thirsting after thee. Thine I am, O spotless Lamb; I will suffer naught to hide thee, ask for naught beside thee. 2 In thine arm I rest me; foes who have oppressed me cannot reach me here.

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
