*RECESSIONAL HYMN Now Let the Vault of Heaven Resound Lasst uns Erfreuen

(sung to the tune of All Creatures of Our God and King)

Now let the vault of heaven resound, In praise of Love that doth abound, Christ hath

triumphed, Alleluia; Sing, choirs of angels, loud and clear, Repeat their song of glory here,

Christ hath triumphed, Christ hath triumphed! Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

O fill us, Lord, with dauntless love; Set heart and will on things above. That we conquer

through thy triumph. Grant grace sufficient for life’s day, That by our life we ever say,

Christ hath triumphed, and he liveth!” Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Eternal is the gift he brings, Wherefore our heart with rapture sings, Christ has

triumphed, Jesus liveth!” Now doth he come and give us life, Now doth his presence still

all strife, Through his triumph; Jesus reigneth! Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Adoring praises now we bring, And with the heavenly blessed sing, Christ hath triumphed,

Alleluia! Be to the Father, and our Lord, To spirit blest, most holy God, Thine the glory

never ending! Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia!
