This magnificent Easter anthem, in three distinct sections, combines text from Psalm 118 with two hymns from Hymns Ancient and Modern translated by John Mason Neale. (Publisher description)

The Lord is my strength and my song, and is become my salvation.
I shall not die but live and declare the works of God.

O Lord of all, with us abide,
In this our joyful Eastertide,
From ev’ry weapon death can wield
Thine own redeemed forever shield.

All praise be Thine, O risen Lord,
From death to endless life restored,
All praise to God the Father be,
And Holy Ghost eternally.

Amen.
