Text Based On Luke Chapter 22
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh,
which is called the Passover.
At The Lamb's High Feast We Sing
At the Lamb's high feast we sing,
Praise to our victorious King,
Who hath washed us in His blood
Flowing from His piercèd side;
Praise we Him, Whose love divine
Gives His sacred blood for wine,
Gives His body for the feast,
Christ the Victim, Christ the Priest.
Where the Passover blood is poured,
Death's dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel's hosts triumphant go
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
Praise we Christ, Whose blood was shed,
Passover Victim, Unleavened Bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we Manna from above.
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;
Now no more can death appall,
Now no more the grave enthrall;
Thou hast opened Paradise,
And in Thee Thy saints shall rise.
Passover triumph, Passover joy,
Only sin can this destroy;
From sin's death do Thou set free
Souls reborn, O Lord, in Thee.
Hymns of glory and of praise,
Father, to Thee we raise;
Risen Lord, all praise to Thee,
Ever with the Spirit be.
