At The Lamb's High Feast

Verse 1

At the Lamb's high feast we sing,
Praise to our victorious King,
Who has washed us in the tide Flowing from his piercèd side;
Alleluia!

Verse 2

Praise we Him,
whose love divine Gives His sacred blood for wine,
Gives His body for the feast,
Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest. Alleluia!

Verse 3

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.
Alleluia!

Verse 4

Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed,
Paschal Victim, Paschal Bread;
With sincerity and love Eat we Manna from above.
Alleluia!

Verse 5

Mighty Victim from the sky,
Hell's fierce pow'rs beneath Thee lie;
Thou hast conquered in the fight,
Thou hast brought us life and light;

Alleluia!

Verse 6

Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
Thou hast opened Paradise,
And in Thee Thy saints shall rise.

Verse 7

Paschal triumph, Easter joy,
This alone can sin destroy;
From sin's death do Thou set free Souls reborn,
O Lord, in Thee.

Verse 8

Hymns of glory and of praise, Father,
to Thee we raise; Risen Lord,
all praise to Thee,
Ever with the Spirit be.
