1. Christians, to the Paschal victim
offer your thankful praises!
2. A lamb the sheep redeemeth:
Christ, who only is sinless,
reconcileth sinners to the Father.
3. Death and life have contended
in that combat stupendous:
the Prince of life, who died,
reigns immortal.
4. Speak, Mary, declaring
what thou sawest, wayfaring:
5. The tomb of Christ, who is living,
the glory of Jesus' resurrection;
6. bright angels attesting,
the shroud and napkin resting.
7. Yea, Christ my hope is arisen;
to Galilee he will go before you.
8. Christ indeed from death is risen,
our new life obtaining;
have mercy, victor King, ever reigning!
Amen. Alleluia!
