EASTER TRIDUUM - HOLY THURSDAY

Easter Triduum



At the Lamb’s high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who hath washed us in the tide,
Flowing from his pierced side,
Praise we him whose love divine,

Gives the guest his blood for wine,
Gives his body for the feast,
Love the victim, love the priest.


Where the Pascal blood is poured,

Death’s dark angel sheathes his sword,
Israel’s hosts triumphant go,
Through the waves that drowns the foe,
Christ, the Lamb whose blood was shed,
Pascal victim, Pascal bread,
With sincerity and love,
Eat we manna from above.


Mighty victim from thy sky,
Powers of hell beneath the lie,
Death is conquered in the fight,
Thou hast brought us life and light.
Now thou banner thou dost wave,
Vanquished Satan and the grave,
Angels join his praise to tell –
See o’erthrown the prince of hell.

Pascal triumph, pascal joy,
Only sin can this destroy,
From the death of sin set free,
Soul’s re-born, dear Lord, in thee,
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father unto thee we raise;
Risen Lord, all praise to thee,
Ever with the Spirit be.

Jesus suffered outside the gate, to consecrate the people by his own blood.  Let us then go to him outside the camp, bearing the reproach that he bore.  For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the one that is to come.  Through him then let us continually offer God a sacrifice of praise, that is, the first fruit of lips that confess his name. Heb. 13:12-15
