Text Based On Luke Chapter 22
Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh,
which is called the Passover.
The Hymn of Passover
The hymn of Passover sweetly sound:
"Christ is risen! Christ is risen!"
They tell the hope He doth reveal,
This joyful Passover time.
The Lord of Life hath gone on high;
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
"Rejoice," with swelling notes they cry!
"Rejoice, rejoice!" they say.
Refrain
Shines the glorious heavenly portal!
Angel songs we almost hear!
O the joy of life immortal.
When in glory we appear.
O the joy of life immortal.
When in glory we appear.
The shining Passover angels say:
"Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
Come, see the place where Jesus lay,
He's risen: He is not here.
No longer held in death's embrace;
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
Ye shall behold Him face to face,
In glory to appear."
Refrain
Repeat the tidings far and wide!
"Christ is risen! Christ is risen!"
No longer Christ the crucified,
But Christ the mighty King.
For us exalted evermore;
Christ is risen! Christ is risen!
While the heavenly hosts our Lord adore,
Let all creation sing!
