Shalom,
There are a selection of Psalms that are done at this time in a Seder and was probably what the Lord was singing with His disciples:
THE HALLEL THE PSALMS OF PRAISE 113-118
PSALM 113
Praise the Lord! Praise, O servants of the Lord, praise the name of the Lord. Let the name of the Lord be praised, both now and forevermore. From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets the name of the Lord is to be praised. The Lord is exalted over all the nations, His glory above the heavens. Who is like the Lord our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth? He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap; He seats them with princes, with the princes of their people. He settles the barren woman in her home as a happy mother of children. Praise the Lord!
PSALM 114
When Israel came out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of foreign tongue, Judah became God's sanctuary, Israel His dominion. The sea looked and fled, the Jordan turned back; the mountains skipped like rams, the hills like lambs. Why was it, O sea, that you fled, O Jordan, that you turned back, you mountains, that you skipped like rams, you hills like lambs? Tremble O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob, who turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water.
In every generation each individual is bound to regard himself as if he had personally gone forth from Egypt, as it is written: And you shall relate to your son on that day saying: This is on account of what the Lord did for me, when I went forth from Egypt. Thus, it was not our ancestors alone, whom the Most Holy One, blessed be He, then redeemed, but He redeemed us with them, as it is said: And He brought us forth from there, in order to bring us in, that He might give us the land which He swore unto our ancestors. In the same way each individual must personally identify with the redemption provided by the Messiah, with His death, His burial and His resurrection. It is as if we died with Him, as if we were buried with Him, and as if we rose with Him when He rose from death.
Therefore we are bound to thank, praise, laud, glorify, extol, honor, bless, exalt, and reverence Him who performed for our fathers, and for us, all these miracles. He brought us from slavery to freedom; from sorrow to joy; from mourning to festivity, and from servitude to redemption. Let us therefore sing a new song in His presence. Halleluyah!
In our Messianic Seder we sing these psalms with a special emphasis on the deliverance that Yeshua fulfilled that Passover.
