Easter Sequence

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 battle 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, our new life obtaining.
Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning!
Amen. Alleluia!
