When it starts with Charles Wesley (Jesus Christ Is Risen Today, Alleluia, though originally from the Latin in the 14th century), moves onto O Filii (O Sons and Daughters of the King, 15th century), has some Walther during the lavabo (He’s Risen! He’s Risen!, 19th century), some Gerhardt during the Distribution (Awake, My Heart, with Gladness, 17th century) and wraps up with some St. John of Damascus (The Day of Resurrection, 8th century)...you know a bit of heaven has been given you to feast on right here upon the earth! “Our joy that has no end” indeed!

Love those hymns! I'm always glad to meet someone else who loves hymns.
