Hallelujah! 2 It was a strange and dreadful strife when life and death contended; the victory remained with life, the reign of death was ended; Holy Scripture plainly saith that death is swallowed up by death, his sting is lost forever. Hallelujah! 3 Here the true Paschal Lamb we see, whom God so freely gave us; he died on the accursed tree - So strong his love! — to save us. See, his blood doth mark our door; faith points to it, death passes o'er, and Satan cannot harm us. Hallelujah! 4 So let us keep the festival whereto 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. Hallelujah! 5 Then let us feast this joyful day on Christ, the Bread of heaven; the Word of grace hath purged away the old and evil leaven. Christ alone our souls will feed, he is our meat and drink indeed; faith lives upon no other. Hallelujah!

All the winter of our sins, long and dark, is flying from the Light, to whom we give laud and praise undying. 3 Now the queen of seasons, bright with the day of splendor, with the royal feast of feasts comes its joy to render; comes to glad Jerusalem, who with true affection welcomes in unwearied strains Jesus’ resurrection! 4 Neither could the gates of death, nor the tomb’s dark portal, nor the watchers, nor the seal hold you as a mortal: but today, among your own, you appear, bestowing your deep peace, which evermore passes human knowing.
