Saturday prior to Easter 3

 

The Hymn of the Day, With High Delight, Let Us Unite (LSB #483), continues the theme of joy in Christ’s resurrection. The whole Church on earth, together with those already in heaven, as we saw in the epistle, joins together in singing joyous songs of high praise to the risen Lord Jesus Christ, our salvation.

With high delight Let us unite
by George Vetter
1536-1599

Stanza 1
With high delight Let us unite
In songs of sweet jubilation.
You pure in heart, Each take your part,
Sing Jesus Christ, our salvation.
To set us free Forever, he
Is risen and sends To all earth's ends
Good news to save every nation.
 

Stanza 2
True God, he first From death has burst
Forth into life, all subduing.
His enemy Shall vanquished lie;
His death has been death's undoing.
"And yours shall be Like victory
O'er death and grave," Said he, who gave
His life for us, life renewing.

 

Stanza 3
Let praises ring; Give thanks, and bring
To Christ our Lord adoration.
His honor speed By word and deed
To every land, every nation.
So shall his love Give us above,
From misery And death set free,
All joy and full consolation.
