Where the Paschal blood is poured, death's dark angel sheathes his sword; Israel's hosts triumphant go through the wave that drowns the foe. 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 powers beneath thee lie; thou hast conquered in the fight, thou hast brought us life and light: now no more can death appall, now no more the grave enthrall; thou hast opened paradise, and in thee thy saints shall rise. 4. Easter triumph, Easter joy, these alone do sin destroy. From sin's power do thou set free souls newborn, O Lord, in thee. Hymns of glory, songs of praise, Father, unto thee we raise: risen Lord, all praise to thee with the Spirit ever be. Topics: Easter Languages: English Tune Title: SALZBURG

Alleluia! 3. So let us keep the festival to which the Lord invites us; Christ is himself the joy of all, the sun that warms and lights us; by his grace he doth impart eternal sunshine to the heart; the night of sin is ended! Alleluia! 4. Then let us feast this holy day on the true bread of heaven; the word of grace hath purged away the old and wicked leaven; Christ alone our souls will feed, he is our meat and drink indeed; faith lives upon no other! Alleluia! Topics: Easter Languages: English Tune Title: CHRIST LAG IN TODESBANDEN

May thy fresh light arise with each clouded heart, and give us open eyes To see thee as thou art. Topics: The Christian Life Languages: English Tune Title: O GOTT, DU FROMMER GOTT

Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his Name, from age to age the same, and he must win the battle. 3 And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us; we will not fear, for God hath willed his truth to triumph through us; the prince of darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo! his doom is sure, one little word shall fell him. 4 That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth; the Spirit and the gifts are ours through him who with us sideth: let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God's truth abideth still, his kingdom is for ever.
