lyrics
Verse 1
Our Paschal joy at last is here!
We praise Thee, Christ, Redeemer dear:
From death Thy servants Thou dost save,
Thyself arising from the grave.
We praise Thee, Jesus; for Thy hand
Hath freed us from corruption's band:
Our weary thralldom now is o'er;
We bow beneath the Law no more.
Verse 2
True Paschal Lamb, for sinners slain,
Christ, free from blemish, pure from stain,
Be Thou our Strength, our Food, our Life,
In all our need, in all our strife.
Thou Who hast conquered hell in fight,
We can do all things through Thy might,
Set free the slaves to give Thee laud,
And bring them to the land of God.
Bridge:
The Tree of Life its Fruit hath borne,
The Tree where Thou wast hung in scorn,
Whereon Thy rosy Blood was shed,
And now we feed on Heavenly Bread.
on Heavenly, on Heavenly
on Heavenly, on Heavenly heavenly Bread.
Verse 3
O risen Lord! grant us to rise,
As Thou hast done, in joyful wise,
First for Thy work, from error's gloom;
Then, on the last day, from the tomb.
We praise Thee, who from Death's fierce hold
The carnal, under evil sold,
Hast freed, and pointed out the way
Hast freed, and pointed out the way
Where we must tread to live for aye.
