lyrics

Am - Em
At the Lamb's high feast we sing 
Am Em C - G
Praise to our victorious King, 
C G Am - Em
Who hath washed us in the tide
Am Em C - G 
Flowing from his pierced side; 
C G F - C
Praise we him whose love divine 
F C Am - Em
Gives his sacred blood for wine, 
Am Em F - C
Gives his body for the feast, 
F C C - G - Am - Em
Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest. 

Where the paschal blood is poured, 
Death's dark angel sheathes his sword; 
Israel's hosts triumphant go 
Through the wave that drowns the foe. 
Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, 
Paschal Victim, Paschal Bread; 
With sincerity and love 
Eat we manna from above.

Mighty Victim from the sky, 
Pow'rs of hell beneath thee lie; 
Death is conquered in the fight, 
Thou hast brought us life and light: 
Hymns of glory and of praise, 
Risen Lord, to thee we raise; 
Holy Father, praise to thee, 
With the Spirit, ever be.
