glorious first-born from the dead,
you alone our strong defender,
lifting up your people’s head:
Alleluia, alleluia,
Jesus, true and living bread!
2 Prince of life, for us now living,
by your body souls are healed;
Prince of peace, your pardon giving,
by your blood our peace is sealed:
Alleluia, alleluia,
Word of God in flesh revealed.
3 Paschal Lamb! your offering finished
once for all, when you were slain;
in its fullness undiminished
shall forevermore remain:
Alleluia, alleluia,
cleansing souls from every stain.
4 Great High Priest of our profession,
through the veil you entered in,
by your mighty intercession
grace and mercy there to win:
Alleluia, alleluia,
only sacrifice for sin.
5 Life-imparting heavenly Manna,
stricken rock, with streaming side;
heaven and earth with loud hosanna,
worship you, the Lamb who died:
Alleluia, alleluia,
risen, ascended, glorified! Languages: English Tune Title: ST. HELEN
Lord, enthroned in heavenly splendour
