Sing his praise without delays, Who takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise with him may st rise: That, as his death calcined thee to dust, His life may make thee gold, and much more just. Awake, my lute, and struggle for thy part with all thy art. The cross taught all wood to resound his name who bore the same. His stretched sinews taught all strings What key is best to celebrate this most high day. Consort both heart and lute and twist a song pleasant and long, Or since all music is but three parts vied and multiplied; O let thy blessèd Spirit bear a part, And make up our defects with his sweet art. [from Easter by George Herbert, priest and metaphysical poet ] 7

But thou didst not disdain to take our low estate, or e en to make the tomb thy resting place; so thou might bring into our night the dawn of thine eternal light to shine upon our face. [Edward Capel Cure ( )] Nor death, nor hell, nor sin, is Lord, but thou, O Son of God. Thy word is now our sov reign law. Therefore we thank thee, and we pray thy light may shine unto the perfect day, on us for evermore. 8

9 Sunday 17th April 2016 The Third Sunday after Easter 3.30 pm Choral Evensong Smith Office Hymn 317 With Christ we share a mystic grave Psalm 85 page 454 Martin First Lesson Deuteronomy 5: 1-21 Magnificat in C Stanford Second Lesson Revelation 2: 18-3: 6 Nunc dimittis in C Stanford Anthem Ye choirs of new Jerusalem Stanford Offertory Hymn 363 Glory in the highest to the God of heaven!

For Judah s Lion bursts his chains, Crushing the serpent s head; And cries aloud through death s domains To wake the imprisoned dead. Devouring depths of hell their prey At his command restore; His ransomed hosts pursue their way Where Jesus goes before. Triumphant in his glory now To him all power is given; To him in one communion bow All saints in earth and Heaven. While we, His soldiers, praise our King, His mercy we implore, Within his palace bright to bring And keep us evermore. All glory to the Father be, All glory to the Son, All glory, Holy Ghost, to Thee, While endless ages run. Alleluia! Amen. 9

Ille, qui clausus lapide custoditur sub milite, triumphans pompa nobile victor surgit de funere. Solutis iam gemitibus et inferni doloribus, Quia surrexit Dominus! resplendens clamat angelus. Amen. Alleluia Light s glittering morn bedecks the sky, heaven thunders forth its victor cry, the glad earth shouts its triumph high, and groaning hell makes wild reply: While he, the King of glorious might, treads down death s strength in death s despite, and trampling hell by victor s right, brings forth his sleeping Saints to light. Fast barred beneath the stone of late in watch and ward where soldiers wait, now shining in triumphant state, He rises Victor from death s gate. Hell s pains are loosed, and tears are fled; captivity is captive led; the Angel, crowned with light, hath said, The Lord is risen from the dead. Amen. Alleluia 10
