Sequence for Easter

Representative Text

1 Christians, to the paschal victim
offer your thankful praises --
a lamb the sheep redeeming,
Christ, who only is sinless,
reconciling sinners to the Father.
Death and life have contended
in that combat stupendous;
the prince of life, who died, reigns immortal.

2 Speak, Mary, declaring
what you saw when wayfaring.
"The tomb of Christ, who is living,
the glory of Jesus' resurrection;
bright angels attesting,
the shroud and napkin resting.
My Lord, my hope, is arisen;
to Galilee he will go before you."

3 Christ indeed from death is risen,
our new life obtaining.
Have mercy, victor King, ever reigning!
Amen.
