436. On This Our Day of Praise

1 On this our day of praise,
this love-feast, Lord, we hold.
We pilgrims join in song
proclaiming faith so bold:
glory to you, the Lamb who died.
All hail our king, the crucified.

2 From age to age it sounds,
the anthem all-supreme.
World unto world proclaims
the everlasting theme:
glory to you, the Lamb who died.
All hail our king, the crucified.
