At the Lamb's high feast we sing by Lloyd Larson — Lyrics

[TB] At the Lamb's high feast we sing, Praise to the Christ, our glorious King! For He has claimed and cleansed our souls, and by His love we've been made whole. [SA] Praise the One who by love divine now shares the cup the holy wine. His body broken at the feast for the greatest and the least. [SATB] Bread of the world in mercy broken,

About At the Lamb's high feast we sing

"At the Lamb's high feast we sing" is a majestic choral anthem that beautifully bridges the triumph of Easter with the solemnity of the Eucharist. Arranged by Lloyd Larson, this piece weaves together the ancient Latin text of "Ad regias Agni dapes" with the beloved communion hymn "Bread of the world in mercy broken." The result is a deeply moving reflection on Christ’s sacrifice and the heavenly banquet we share at the altar.

For choirs, this arrangement offers a wonderful journey in dynamics and texture. It opens with a strong, grounded declaration from the men (Tenor and Bass), before the women's voices enter to sing of the "love divine" that shares the holy wine. When the full SATB choir finally unites at "Bread of the world in mercy broken," the harmony swells with a profound sense of reverence. It is an ideal piece for Eastertide Masses, Corpus Christi, or any solemn Communion procession where the choir wants to draw the congregation into the mystery of the broken bread and the glorious, risen King.
