SEQUENCE Victimae Paschali laudes immolent Christiani. Agnus redemit oves: Christus innocens Patri reconciliavit peccatores. Mors et vita duello conflixere mirando: dux vitae mortuus regnat vivus. Dic nobis Maria, quid vidisti in via? Sepulchrum Christi viventis, et gloriam vidi resurgentis. Angelicos testes, sudarium, et vestes. Surrexit Christus spes mea: praecedet suos in Galilaeam. Scimus Christum surrexisse a mortuis vere: tu nobis victor Rex, miserere. Amen. Alleluia. GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Tomás Luis de Victoria Christians, to the Paschal Victim offer thankful praises! A Lamb the sheep redeems; Christ, who only is sinless reconciles sinners to the Father. Death and life have contended in that combat stupendous: The Prince of Life, who died, reigns immortal. Speak, Mary, declaring what you saw, wayfaring. The tomb of Christ, who lives, the glory of his resurrection; Bright angels attesting, the shroud and napkin resting. Christ my hope is arisen; to Galilee he goes before you. Christ indeed from death is risen, our new life obtaining. Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning! Amen. Alleluia. William Henry Monk (1823 1889) GOSPEL John 20:1 9 Priest: The Lord be with you. And with your spirit. Priest: A reading from the holy Gospel according to John. Glory to you, Lord.

MUSIC AT THE PREPARATION OF THE ALTAR Liturgy of the Eucharist Will C. Macfarlane (1870 1945) Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the feast, Not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more: death hath no more dominion over Him. For in that He died unto sin once: but in that He liveth unto God likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin: but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Christ is risen from the dead: and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death: by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die: even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: World without end. Amen.

English, arr. Charles Wood (1852 1924) This joyful Eastertide, away with sin and sorrow! My love, the Crucified, hath sprung to life this morrow. Had Christ, that once was slain, ne er burst his three day prison, Our faith had been in vain: But now hath Christ arisen. My flesh in hope shall rest, and for a season slumber: Till trump from east to west shall wake the dead in slumber. Death s flood hath lost his chill, since Jesus crossed the river: Lover of souls, from ill my passing soul deliver.
