FOURTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
THE INTRODUCTORY RITES
PRELUDE Christ ist erstanden harm. J. S. Bach (1685-1750)
Christ is risen from all his torments; we should all be joyful at
this; Christ wants to be our consolation. Lord have mercy.
If he were not risen, then the world would be lost. Since he is
risen, we praise the Father of Jesus Christ. Lord have mercy.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! We should all be joyful at this; Christ
wants to be our consolation. Lord have mercy.
PROCESSIONAL HYMN Saint Michael Hymnal
At the Lamb’s High Feast SALZBURG
1. At the Lamb’s high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who hath washed us in the tide
Flowing from his piercèd side;
Praise we him, whose love divine
Gives his sacred Blood for wine,
Gives his Body for the feast,
Christ the victim, Christ the priest.
2. Where the Paschal blood is poured,
Death’s dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel’s hosts triumphant go
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, whose Blood was shed,
Paschal victim, Paschal bread!
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.
3. Easter triumph, Easter joy,
These alone do sin destroy;
From sin’s pow’r do thou set free,
Souls newborn, O Lord, in thee.
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise:
Risen Lord, all praise to thee
With the Spirit, ever be.

HOMILY PROFESSION OF FAITH
℟. I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only
Begotten Son of God, born of the Father
before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God
from true God, begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father; through him
all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation he came
down from heaven,
(All bow while saying:)
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate
of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius
Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and
rose again on the third day in accordance with
the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the
right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living
and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of
life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and
glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and
apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins
and I look forward to the resurrection of the
dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
