Th'atoning blood now marks our door, Faith points to it, death passes o'er, He nevermore can harm us. 3 So let us keep the festival Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the Joy of all, The Sun which warms and lights us: And by His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 4 Then let us feast this Easter day On the true Bread of heaven; The Word of grade hath purged away The old and wicked leaven: For Christ alone our souls will feed, He is our meat and drink indeed; Faith lives upon no other.

Then shall God’s mercy from on high shine forth and never cease, to drive away the gloom of death and lead us into peace. Topics: Service Music Canticles Used With Tune: SHEPHERD'S PIPES
