Author: Robert Campbell, 1814-68 Hymnal: Worship Supplement #733 (1969) Meter: 7.7.7.7.4 Hymnal Title: Worship Supplement Lyrics: 1 At the Lamb's high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who has washed us in the tide
Flowing from his pierced side.
Alleluia!
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!
3 Mighty Victim from the sky,
Hell's fierce powers beneath thee lie;
Thou hast conquered in the fight,
Thou hast brought us life and light.
Alleluia!
4 Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
Thou hast opened Paradise,
And in thee thy saints shall rise.
Alleluia!
5 Easter triumph, Easter joy,
Sin alone can this destroy;
From sin's power do thou set free
Souls newborn, O Lord in thee.
Alleluia!
6 Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise:
Risen Lord, all praise to thee
With the Spirit ever be.
Alleluia! Amen. Topics: The Christian Year Eastertide Tune Title: SONNE DER GERECHTIGKEIT
