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.
