HYMN
We glimpse the splendor and the power
Of him who conquered death,
The Christ in whom the universe
Knows God's creating breath.
Of every creed and nation King
In him all strife is stilled;
The promise made to Abraham
In him has been fulfilled.
The prophets stand and with great joy
Give witness as they gaze;
The Father with a sign has sealed
Our trust, our hope,our praise,
This glory that today our eyes
Have glimpsed of God's own Son
Will help us ever sing with Love
Of Three who are but One.

Or:
Jesu dulcis memoria Nil canitur suavius, Jesu dulcedo cordium, Quando cor nostrum visitas, Da nobis largus veniam, Laudes tibi nos pangimus, |
The very thought of Jesus Christ No sweeter Name the voice can sing, O Jesus, joy of every heart, And when you visit us unseen, Increase the ardor of our love, Christ Jesus Lord, we praise your Name, |
O God, you are my God, for you I long;
for you my soul is thirsting.
My body pines for you
like a dry, weary land without water.
So I gaze on you in the sanctuary
to see your strength and your glory.
For your love is better than life,
my lips will speak your praise.
So I will bless you all my life,
in your name I will lift up my hands.
My soul shall be filled as with a banquet,
my mouth shall praise you with joy.
On my bed I remember you.
On you I muse through the night
for you have been my help;
in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.
My soul clings to you;
your right hand holds me fast. Glory...

The joy of God's holy people
Let the sons of the Church, the children of the new people, rejoice in Christ, their King (Hesychius)
his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Let Israel rejoice in its maker,
let Zion’s sons exult in their king.
Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music with timbrel and harp.
For the Lord takes delight in his people.
He crowns the poor with salvation.
Let the faithful rejoice in their glory,
shout for joy and take their rest.
Let the praise of God be on their lips
and a two-edged sword in their hand,
to deal out vengeance to the nations
and punishment on all the peoples;
to bind their kings in chains
and their nobles in fetters of iron;
to carry out the sentence pre-ordained;
this honor is for all his faithful. Glory...
