Easter Day Choral Eucharist

St Bride's doors are closed due to the coronavirus outbreak. This service has been collated from archive live recordings together with specially recorded spoken content for Easter Sunday. This service is sung by our professional Choir of St Bride's. Setting: Missa Brevis - Kodaly Canticle: Easter Hymn from Cavalleria rusticana - Mascagni Anthem: Victimae Paschali - Byrd Translation: To the Paschal Victim, Christians, offer a sacrifice of praise. The Lamb has ransomed his sheep; the innocent Christ has reconciled sinners with the Father. Death and life confronted each other in a prodigious battle; the Prince of life who died, now reigns living. Tell us, Mary, what did you see upon the way? I saw the sepulcher of the living Christ; I saw the glory of the Risen One. I saw the angels, his witnesses, the shroud and the garments. Christ, my Hope, is risen; he will go before his own into Galilee. We know that Christ is truly risen from the dead; O Victorious King, have mercy on us.
