EASTER, MARCH 31st., 2012

REJOICE AND BE GLAD, O VIRGIN MARY! ALLELUIA!
FOR THE SON WHICH YOU LOVEST- ALLELUIA!
IS GLORIOUSLY RISEN FROM THE DEAD! ALLELUIA!

Mighty Victim from the sky,
Hell’s fierce powers beneath Thee lie;
Thou hast conquered in the fight,
Thou hast brought us life and light:
Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall:
Thou hast opened Paradise,
and in Thee Thy saints shall rise!

Easter triumph, Easter joy,
Sin alone can this destroy;
From sin’s power do Thou set free-
Souls new-born, O Lord, in Thee.
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father unto Thee we raise:
Risen Lord Jesus, all praise to Thee
With the Spirit ever be. Amen.

-From the latin by Robert Campbell, 1849

Risen Lord Jesus, have mercy upon us and save us! Visit us with They resurrection power, that we may delight in Thy will and walk in Thy ways, to the glory of Thy Name, Amen.
