The Lamb's high banquet we await |

The Lamb's high banquet we await in snow-white robes of royal state; and now, the Red Sea's channel passed, to Christ, our Prince, we sing at last. Upon the altar of the cross his Body hath redeemed our loss; and tasting of his roseate Blood, our life is hid with him in God. That paschal eve God's arm was bared; the devastating angel spared: by strength of hand our hosts went free from Pharoah's ruthless tyranny. Now Christ our Passover is slain, the Lamb of God that knows no stain; the true oblation offered here, our own unleavened Bread sincere. O thou from whom hell's monarch flies, O great, O very Sacrifice, thy captive people are set free, and endless life restored in thee. For Christ, arising from the dead, from conquered hell victorious sped; he thrusts the tyrant down to chains, and paradise for man regains. Maker of all, to thee we pray, fulfill in us thy joy today; when death assails, grant, Lord, that we may share thy paschal victory. To thee who, dead, again dost live, all glory, Lord, thy people give; all glory, as is every meet, to Father and to Paraclete. |
