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