Praise we Christ, whose blood was shed, Paschal victim, Paschal bread; With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty victim from on high, Hell's fierce pow'rs beneath you lie; You have conquered in the fight, You have brought us life and light. Now no more can death appall, Now no more the grave enthrall; You have opened paradise, And in you your saints shall rise. 4 Easter triumph, Easter joy, This alone can sin destroy; From sin's pow'r, Lord, set us free, Newborn souls in you to be. Father, who the crown shall give, Savior, by whose death we live, Spirit, guide through all our days: Three in One, your name we praise.

At the cross, her vigil keeping

Author: Edward Caswall (1814-1878) Meter: 8.8.7 D Appears in 143 hymnals Topics: Life in Christ Christ Incarnate - Passion and Death Lyrics: 1 At the cross, her vigil keeping, stood the mournful Mother weeping, where he hung, the dying Lord; for her soul, of joy bereavèd, bowed with sorrow, deeply grievèd, felt the sharp and piercing sword. 2 Who, on Christ's dear Mother gazing, pierced with anguish so amazing, born of woman, would not weep? Who, on Christ's dear Mother thinking, such a cup of sorrow drinking, would not share her sorrows deep? 3 For his people's sins chastisèd she beheld her Son despisèd scourged, and crowned with thorns entwined; saw him then from judgment taken, and in death by all forsaken, till his spirit he resigned. 4 Jesus, may her deep devotion stir in me the same emotion, fount of love, Redeemer kind, that my heart, fresh ardour gaining, and a purer love attaining, may with thee acceptance find.
