With sincerity and love Eat we manna from above. 3 Mighty victim from the sky, 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 the 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.
