Most glorious Lord of life, that on this day,
Didst make thy triumph over death and sin:
And having harrow’d hell, didst bring away
Captivity thence captive, us to win:
This joyous day, dear Lord, with joy begin,
And grant that we for whom thou didst die,
Being through thy dear Son now welcomed in,
May live for ever in felicity. And that thy love we weighing worthily,
May likewise love thee for the same again:
And for thy sake, that all like dear didst free,
With love may one another entertain.
So let us love, dear love, like as we ought,
Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.
Anthem We Shall Walk Through the Valley in Peace Undine Smith Moore
African American Spiritual / Choir
We shall walk through the valley in peace.
If Jesus himself shall be our leader, we shall walk through the valley in peace.
There will be no more trials there. If Jesus himself shall be our leader,
We shall walk through the valley in peace.
Cameroonian Melody Ralph Johnson /Louez le Seigneur
In Cameroonian church services, the Bible is often brought forward as part of a “Lectionary
Procession” before the scripture readings. Typically led by the women of the congregation,
lively dance and hymns of praise accompany the movement. "Louez le Seigneur" is an example
of this traditional form crossing over into popular hymnody.
Louez le Seigneur!
Louez son saint nom, Alleluia!
Praise the Lord!
Praise his holy name, Alleluia!
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray. ...
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever. Amen
