The rest...
Entrance hymn: Christ the Lord is risen today ("Victimae Paschali"/Pew Missal, #107)
- NOTE: Two hymns are in the Pew Missal with the same title. #106 is a text by Charles Wesley in which an alleluia follows each line and is sung to the tune "Llanfair", which is also used for the Ascension staple, "Hail the day that sees him rise." The other, #107, which we are singing this weekend, also has a rather well-known tune "Victimae Paschali," named after the Sequence of Easter Day. The text of this particular hymn is a poetic paraphrase of that same sequence. Some hymnals give this tune the German title, "Heil, uns Heil, Alleluia."
