At the Procession

Congregational Hymn 179 Fortunatus

1 “Welcome, happy morning!” age to age shall say: Hell today is vanquished, heaven is won today! Lo! the dead is living, God for evermore! Him their true Creator, all his works adore!

“Welcome, happy morning!” age to age shall say.

2 Earth her joy confesses, clothing her for spring, All fresh gifts returned with her returning King: Bloom in every meadow, leaves on every bough, Speak his sorrow ended, hail his triumph now. Refrain

3 Months in due succession, days of lengthening light, Hours and passing moments praise thee in their flight. Brightness of the morning, sky and fields and sea, Vanquisher of darkness, bring their praise to thee. Refrain

4 Maker and Redeemer, life and health of all, Thou from heaven beholding human nature’s fall, Of the Father’s Godhead true and only Son, Mankind to deliver, manhood didst put on. Refrain

5 Thou, of life the author, death didst undergo, Tread the path of darkness, saving strength to show; Come then, true and faithful, now fulfill thy word, ’Tis thine own third morning! rise, O buried Lord! Refrain

6 Loose the souls long prisoned, bound with Satan’s chain; All that now is fallen raise to life again; Show thy face in brightness, bid the nations see; Bring again our daylight: day returns with thee! Refrain

— Venantius Honorius Fortunatus (540–600); tr. John Ellerton (1826 –1893)

Gloria Mass of the Eternal Flame

Sung in Latin

Ēriks Ešenvalds (b.1977)

Glory be to God in the highest. And in earth peace to men of good will. We praise Thee; we bless Thee; we worship Thee; we glorify Thee. We give thanks to Thee for Thy great glory. O Lord God, Heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. O Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son. Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of the Father, have mercy upon us. For thou only art holy, thou only art the Lord, thou only art the most high, Jesus Christ. Together with the Holy Ghost in the glory of God the Father. Amen.
