Author: Fulbert of Chartres (c.975-1028); R. Campbell (1814-1868) Hymnal: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) #168 (1987) Hymnal Title: Hymns for Today's Church (2nd ed.) Lyrics: 1 You choirs of new Jerusalem,
your sweetest notes employ
the paschal victory to hymn
in songs of holy joy!
2 For Judah's Lion burst his chains,
and crushed the serpent's head;
he cries aloud through death's domains
to wake the imprisoned dead.
3 Devouring depths of hell their prey
at his command restore;
his ransomed hosts pursue their way
where Jesus goes before.
4 Triumphant in his glory now —
to him all power is given;
to him in one communion bow
all saints in earth and heaven.
5 All glory to the Father be,
the Spirit and the Son:
all glory to the One-in-Three
while endless ages run. Topics: God, Saviour Risen and Victorious; Doxologies; Easter The Resurrection of Christ; Easter 3 The Resurrection and the Life; Trinity Sunday The Trinity Languages: English Tune Title: ST. FULBERT
