At the Lamb's high feast we sing by Edward Vine Hall — Lyrics
At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who hath washed us in the tide
Flowing from his pierced 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.
Mighty victim from the sky,
Hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie;
Thou hast conquered in the fight,
Thou hast brought us life and light:

About At the Lamb's high feast we sing
This anthem is suitable for Eastertide celebrations, capturing the triumph and joy of the season. Edward Vine Hall's setting of the well-known hymn text presents a powerful message of Christ's victory over death and sin. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic expression as the choir proclaims "Praise to our victorious King." The text reflects on Christ's sacrifice, his conquest of hell, and the promise of resurrection and paradise. It calls for deliverance from sin, leading to a final exultation with "Hymns of glory and of praise" to the Risen Lord. The strong theological themes and celebratory tone make it an uplifting choice for a church choir.
