Sequence for Easter

 Christians, to the Paschal Victim 

Offer your thankful praises! 

A Lamb the sheep redeems; 

Christ, who only is sinless, 

Reconciles sinners to the Father. 

Death and life have contended 

in that combat stupendous: 

The Prince of life, 

who died, reigns immortal. 

Speak, Mary, declaring

What you saw, wayfaring.

"The tomb of Christ, who is living, 

The glory of Jesus' resurrection; 

bright angels attesting, 

The shroud and napkin resting. 

Yes, Christ my hope is arisen; 

to Galilee he goes before you." 

Christ indeed from death is risen, 

our new life obtaining. 

Have mercy, victor King, 

ever reigning! Amen. Alleluia.
