Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
Our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
Who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
Suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!



Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured. Alleluia!
Now above the sky he’s King, Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!

Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!
Praise eternal as God’s love. Alleluia!
Praise our God, ye heavenly host, Alleluia!
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia!

“Sing with all the Saints in Glory;
Sing the Resurrection Song!
Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story,
To the former days belong.
All around the clouds are breaking.
Soon the storms of time shall cease.
In God’s likeness we awaken,
Knowing everlasting peace. ….”

Text: William J. Irons (1873); Music: Ode to Joy, Ludwig van Beethoven

Jesus Carries the Cross, adapted from image at loc.gov

O Sacred Head, surrounded
by crown of piercing thorn!
O Bleeding Head, so wounded,
reviled and put to scorn!
Our sins have marred the glory
of Thy Most Holy Face,
yet Angel Hosts adore thee
and tremble as they gaze
[lyrics continue below video]

I see thy strength and vigor
all fading in the strife,
and death with cruel rigor,
bereaving thee of life;
O agony and dying!
O love to sinners free!
Jesus, all grace supplying,
O turn thy face on me.

In this thy bitter passion,
Good Shepherd, think of me
with thy most sweet compassion,
unworthy though I be:
beneath thy cross abiding
for ever would I rest,
in thy dear love confiding,
and with thy presence blest.

From a medieval Latin hymn attributed to St. Bernard of Clairvaux of the 12th century.

“All Glory Laud and Honor,” by Saint Theodulph ca. 9th century, translated by John Mason Neale, 1851, sung at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame.

All glory, laud, and honor
to you, Redeemer, King,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
You are the King of Israel
and David’s royal Son,
now in the Lord’s name coming,
the King and Blessed One.

The company of angels
is praising you on high;
and we with all creation
in chorus make reply.
The people of the Hebrews
with palms before you went;
our praise and prayer and anthems
before you we present.

The people of the Hebrews
With palms before You went;
Our prayer and praise and anthems
Before You we present.

To You, before Your passion,
They sang their hymns of praise;
To You, now high exalted,
Our melody we raise.
