Paschal triumph! Paschal joy!
Only sin can this destroy.
From sin’s death do thou set free
Souls reborn, dear Lord, in thee.

It was so windy on Saturday that the congregation had to stay inside to protect them from the sparks and the candle had to be lit inside to prevent it from going out straight away. But it made for a dramatic photo!

Happy Easter!

Crux fidelis, inter omnes
Arbor una nobilis,
Nulla talem silva profert
Flore, fronde, germine,
Dulce lignum dulce clavo
Dulce pondus sustinens.

Faithful Cross! above all other,
One and only noble Tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peer may be;
Sweetest Wood and sweetest Iron!
Sweetest Weight is hung on thee.

Ingrediente Domino in sanctam civitatem, Hebræorum pueri resurrectionem vitæ pronuntiantes, cm ramis palmarum: Hosanna, clamabant, in excelsis. Cum audisset populus, quod Jesus veniret Jerosolymam, exierunt obviam ei. Cum ramis palmarum: Hosanna, clamabant, in excelsis.

As the Lord entered the holy city, the children of the Hebrews proclaimed the resurrection of life. Waving their branches of palm, they cried: Hosanna in the Highest. When the people heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they went out to meet him. Waving their branches of palm, they cried: Hosanna in the Highest.
